Remi Gaillard, Meet These Guys
Some of my favorite videos on the internet are those of Remi Gaillard kicking soccer balls into windows, trashcans, moving vehicles, and any other opening he can find in France from long distances. For example:

From Tommy Dee at The Knicks Blog, here's his basketball equivalent in the suburbs of the United States. Check these kids banging shots from insane distances:

These shots are so nuts that I wasn't sure if I should post about them in case they were faked. We had a basketball hoop secured to the edge of the roof of our garage back home. To the right of the garage was a walkway to the front door of our house (no one ever actually used that door, they just came in through the garage). The walkway wrapped around some shrubbery that obscured the hoop if you stood on the front stoop. We tried, but I don't think we ever made that shot.

Here's another Remi Gaillard for good measure:
