Basketball Shot From Helicopter A World Record? (VIDEO)

WATCH: Basketball Shot From Helicopter

It's often said that taller basketball players have more difficulty shooting from long range, but tell that to the team who sank a basket from a helicopter hovering 192 feet in the air.

Frankly, this just makes Shaq's free throw problems all the more inexcusable.

NBC's "Today" show reported on the footage, which the hosts said seems authentic because of the multiple angles shown.

Explaining the timing of the epic shot attempt, team member Rob Bliss tweeted, "Check out this world record 192 ft. basketball shot from a helicopter for #MarchMadness!"

While the team claims the shot set a world record, Michigan radio wonders, "where are the Guinness people and their clipboards?"

The site also points to this YouTube clip which claims to show a shot being made from 219 feet, albeit not from a helicopter.
