NBA fan wins $10k at Knicks vs Bucks in-season tournament game by pulling off insane HALF-COURT shot to send crowd wild in Milwaukee

This is the moment an NBA fan literally hit the jackpot after pulling off an astonishing half-court shot at Milwaukee’s Fiserv Forum.

During the Bucks’ NBA in-season tournament fixture against the New York Knicks, the man in question tried his luck at the halftime game known as ‘Jackpot Shot’ – with $10,000 up for grabs if he could nail the half-court shot.

And to the dismay of the crowd in attendance, after a quick bounce of the ball and a short run-up, that was exactly what he did.

As he made the basket, the ecstatic fan wheeled away in celebration and headed straight for the tunnel while being chased by a mascot and members of security.

It was an incredible moment in Milwaukee, with the crowd going wild after seeing the $10,000 Jackpot Shot come in.

The Bucks are taking on the Knicks as part of the newly-devised NBA in-season tournament, which blends the league’s 82-game regular season with group and knockout stages.

Every Tuesday and Friday in November (except for this coming Tuesday, when there are no games to commemorate Election Day) has been designated as a tournament night. All games on the schedule those nights are tournament games.

There are six five-team groups; teams play the other four teams in their group once. The six group winners make the quarterfinals, as will a pair of wild-card teams — the two best second-place finishers from the groups. 

Quarterfinal games are December 4 and 5 at higher seeds; the semifinals are December 7 in Las Vegas and the title game is December 9 in Las Vegas.

There are 14 teams that will begin play Friday and 13 teams will get their first tournament games in on November 10. Orlando and Atlanta won’t start their tournament schedules until November 14, and Toronto doesn’t make its tournament debut until November 17.

The 22 teams that don’t make the quarterfinals will play still-to-be-scheduled regular-season games on December 6 and December 8. Also on the December 8 schedule: regular-season games between the teams that lose quarterfinal games.
