Sergeant makes amazing half-court shot from wheelchair (Video)

WASHINGTON — Add “viral video” to Sgt. Blake Johnson’s resume.

From his wheelchair he made an amazing half-court shot at the Army Regionals wheelchair basketball final last Friday at Fort Belvoir, Virginia.

First seen on ABC7, it’s now aired on ABC’s “Good Morning America” and ESPN’s “Top Play.”

While a half-court shot is amazing in and of itself, Johnson, who was severely injured in a car crash while serving in Germany, just started playing wheelchair basketball last week.
