Suns fan Tim Boven, selected as part of a Casino Arizona promotion to try a half-court shot in between the first and second quarters, got his weekend off to a heck of a start by stepping to the line in a t-shirt and jeans and hitting nothing but net from 47 feet.

His prize? A whopping $77,777.

And if the shot itself wasn't impressive enough, Boven celebrates like a guy who's been there before. He just needs a little work on his vertical if he's going to successfully pull off that chest bump with Gerald Green next time.
