Reggie Jackson took a 20-foot scoop shot and it hit nothing but the bottom of the net.

In basketball, you can play all the good defense you want, but there's no answer for flat-out luck. Midway through the third quarter of last night's game between the Detroit Pistons and Chicago Bulls, Joakim Noah was like a blanket on Reggie Jackson, playing some solid D and preventing him from getting a clear shot at the basket. With few options remaining and time running out on the shot clock, Jackson decided to clear out a little space with his left arm and attempt a one-handed scoop shot from just 20 feet out. 

Not only did the shot go in, but it was nothing but net. The Bulls ended up getting the last laugh, though, defeating the Pistons, 88-82.
