WATCH: Atlanta Hawks mascot nails half-court shot—without even looking

Not only can he dance, entertain and make you laugh - but Harry the Hawk also has some serious basketball skills.

The beloved Atlanta Hawks mascot took to the court Monday night and nailed a half-court shot... backwards. The basket made State Farm Arena go wild.

The spectacular shot was even featured on SportCenter’s Top 10.

Channel 2 Sports Director Zach Klein tweeted video of the jaw-dropping shot. It was viewed thousands of times, and some people jokingly commented pairing Harry with star Trae Young.

The Atlanta Hawks said this about Harry:

“Harry the Hawk is one of the most beloved mascots in the NBA. His energy is unrivaled and dance skills are unmatched, giving fans young and old an exhilarating show whenever he hits the court. Harry the Hawk can not only be found at all of the team’s home games, but at many of the organization’s community events throughout the year.”
