Often, those I-can't-believe-I-actually-pulled-it-off moments happen when there is nobody around to witness it.
But luckily for this Australian reporter, his moment to shine was captured on camera.
Patrick Reincke of Southern Cross News was doing a piece-to-camera on some local sports news and finished it off with an attempt at a trick basketball shot.
And he only went and landed it.
