Jaden Simon made a buzzer-beater on Thursday night, is shot from way downtown (and then some) looking oh so smooth.<\/p>\n

Simon’s three-point heave at the buzzer on Thursday that gave Newark Academy (Livingston, New Jersey) a 48-47 win over Weekauhic<\/a> (Newark, New Jersey). The shot was the final play in a two-pass set-up that was brilliantly drawn up and executed by Simon’s teammates with just two seconds left in the game.<\/p>\n

The ball got to Simon, just inside his own half, and did well to stay in-bounds and get the shot off. A beautiful shot at that and a really fun play to see unfold.<\/p>\n

A junior guard, Simon also plays football for Newark Academy.<\/a> Judging from his celebration, where he (somewhat hilariously) evaded his teammates during the celebration, Simon might have a bright future as a running back as well.<\/p>\n
