ziaile williams hits deep Three… seems to be about 80 feet deep.
An NBA basketball court is only 94 feet long.
The Memphis Grizzlies forward banked with a near-full-court heave at the end of Sunday’s third quarter against the Phoenix Suns. A shot was fired from just outside the area and the buzzer cleared 79 feet.
According to Basketball Reference, this was the first basket since 2007 to be built from at least 75 feet away.
Williams’ 3 capped a 9-0 run, giving the Grizzlies a 29-point lead going into the fourth quarter 87-72. Memphis made it a one-possession game in the final seconds, but failed to secure a loose ball as time expired.
The 10th pick in the 2021 draft, Williams is taking just 24.5 percent of the three this season. He won his 6-3 game against the Suns and recorded his season-high 16 points.
