OK, so maybe Birmingham's iron man atop Red Mountain is a long shot for the NBA.

After all, he doesn't have quick feet and even in the more wide-open style of pro ball you've got to wear pants -- or at least some shorts.

Nevertheless, the ultimate big man seems capable of posting it up and is certain to qualify for an assist on the long 3-point shot seen in this YouTube video.

The video is billed as The World's Farthest Basketball Shot.

Sadly, there is little information supplied about video other than it's clearly made at Vulcan Park. Who the cast is, other than Vulcan, is missing, but we're pretty sure we'll hear soon.
