UNC’s Leah Church Goes Viral with Backwards Basketball Trick Shot

Posted Aug 13, 2019
Leah Church went viral after she posted a video shooting the basketball with her back to the basket. In the video, she nails three shots in a row. It’s an impressive feat shooting from that distance normally, but Church added an extra layer of difficulty by turning around. As expected, it did not take long for her trick shot video to go viral.
