College Basketball Player's Unorthodox Shooting Form Goes Viral

UIC’s Tai Walters-Whitaker has the wildest shooting stroke we’ve ever seen.

During a game on Tuesday night vs. Murray State, the UIC senior guard immediately went viral on the Internet after launching a 3-pointer with his extremely unusual shooting form and hitting nothing but net.

I’ve never seen a shooting form like this ever 😭

Walters-Whitaker starts his shot near his right shoulder, as if he's shot-putting the ball, and follows through with his left hand.
