There's nothing like those moments in life when you attempt something that seems impossible and end up nailing it. It's fucking sweet to be honest - such a good feeling.

Well imagine how TV news reporter Patrick Reincke felt when he attempted an incredibly tricky basketball shot live on air, and only went and nailed it.

Have a look at it here...

With his back to the basketball hoop he chucked the ball, more in hope than expectation, while finishing a segment for Southern Cross News in South Australia.

Then BAM - in the net!

Even the kids playing behind him couldn't believe it.

What can we take from this? Maybe we should all aim high and take the risks.

But that said it was probably equally likely that he'd miss the hoop and clock one of the kids in the head.

So I'm just going to say congrats Patrick, you nailed it.
