ROANOKE, Va. (WTVR) – He has a knack for making a lot of baskets, but a Roanoke high school basketball player is getting a lot of attention for one incredible shot he made. With less than five minutes on the clock, William Byrd High School’s Marvey’o Otey chases down a loose ball, jumps, grabs the ball and tosses it behind his back before landing out of bounds.

The ball swishes through the net and the crowd erupts. Shot of the year? Watch the video below and judge for yourself.

Otey’s shot wasn’t enough. According to the Roanoke Star, Byrd lost the game to Cave Spring.
