A weekend WNBA game at the Moda Center became the site of a viral moment when a fan's half-court shot attempt spectacularly missed, leading to a tumble on the court. The fan, identified as Bob, was participating in a halftime contest sponsored by Toyota.
The video of the attempt shows the man throwing the ball, which falls well short of the basket. He then loses his balance and falls onto the court. An in-arena host is seen rushing over to check on him, asking, "Oh Bob, are you OK?"
Despite the mishap, the fan appeared to be in good spirits, managing a smile as he got back on his feet. The failed shot meant that Toyota did not have to give away a new car as part of the promotion. Fans can register online for a chance to participate in similar halftime competitions.
The incident occurred during a game between the Portland Fire and the Los Angeles Sparks, with the home team leading at halftime when the contest took place.
