"On Tuesday, X/Twitter user @edwarderickson posted a video of Russo on the home court of Arizona State University. During what appeared to be a practice session for the men's basketball team, Russo found himself with a ball in his hands to attempt a half-court shot. After running up to the middle of court from opposite free-throw line, Russo heaved the ball toward the rim with one hand."
"While it looked like Russo was going to jump up to get some more lift on the ball, his feet stayed firmly on the ground and he appeared to even limp a little as he walked off. Oh my God! Russo yelled as the ball failed to even hit the rim. That video quickly got the got attention of the sports media world. ESPN analyst Dan Orlovsky called Russo's effort just awful. He even tagged Russo in the tweet to make sure he saw it."
