  • the coach of the Delano Tigers, Dan Paulson,

  • called for the trick play called, "el black."

  • With two outs and the bases loaded,

  • the pitcher fakes a pick off throw to second.

  • The third base runner is forced into taking off for home,

  • Me and my friend would compare our socks

  • which were fuzzy or lacey.

  • ALI: It's the kind of baseball story I like.

  • CARLY: Now that's all you need to know about baseball.

  • ALI: Ali, we've talked about baseball already.

  • CARLY: But now we're talking about high school basketball.

  • ALI: All right.

  • CARLY: One of the greatest shots of all time.

  • This is from a high school student called Khalil Edney.

  • Among some circles it was known as, "the shot."

  • going to hold on and win.

  • But hold on, one sec-- oh, goodness!

  • ALI: Wow.

  • CARLY: That's crazy.

  • -I think he got that off.

  • -I think he got it off as well.

  • CARLY: They were against another local team,

  • and that team had won the championship

  • seven years in a row.

  • And this was the shot that took them down.

  • ALI: That's amazing.

  • CARLY: And he won an ESPY nomination for it.

  • He did not win the award, sadly but to be nominated

  • is a super big thing.

  • JACOB SOBOROFF: Gael Monfils is an incredible French tennis

  • if he could.

  • GAEL MONFILS: You do the show, but you want to win the point,

  • JACOB SOBOROFF: Oh!

  • ALEX: Three strikes!

  • JACOB SOBOROFF: Oh!

  • GAEL MONFILS: To hit a forehand or a backhand.

  • and what he was thinking when he was making these shots.

  • [SPEAKING FRENCH]

  • ALEX: I don't know-- I don't know what you just said,

  • but I think I'm in love with you now.
