Philadelphia 76ers’ Shake Milton had a memorable Christmas.
As the clock expired at the end of the second quarter at Madison Square Garden against the New York Knicks, the 26-year-old guard managed to connect on an awe-inspiring shot attempt.
Philadelphia forced a turnover on Knicks guard Jalen Brunson and Milton managed to complete an absolutely ridiculous heave to cut the lead from six points to three.
While there was no call from the referees on the possession, to make this accomplishment even more impressive, Milton was almost definitely fouled on this shot attempt. Take a look for yourself:

Milton, who is enjoying the best season of his professional career thus far, then walked off the court with delightful confidence.
Here is another angle of the shot not seen on the television broadcast:
