A young basketball player scored an unexpected trick shot in his backyard in Augusta, Georgia, on May 7, video shows.

Footage captured by mom Jaclyn Vozniak shows nine-year-old Zeke attempting the shot while balancing on a basketball. The ball misses the net but bounces straight into another one on the right, much to the delight of both Jaclyn and Zeke.

Jaclyn told Storyful that “as a trickster, sometimes the unexpected truly does happen for the best.” Credit: Jaclyn Vozniak via Storyful
