UGANDA : Fan sinks blind shot, wins
Wearing a blindfold, Alex Wasajja stunned a huge crowd at YMCA Wandegeya when he nailed a blind shot during the Friday Night Lights tournament.
Usually a very difficult task for even seasoned basketball players, the blind shot challenge turned out to be one of the most exciting events on the fun-filled night that saw Team Joseph Ikong outclass Team Eric Malinga 33-25.
Many tried in vain to hit the ring from the free throw line and little was expected from the 21-year-old Wasajja, a Kyambogo University student. But he bagged the Shs2m cash prize from KCB Bank. “I was here last year for the push-up challenge but I did not make it. I will use this money to pay tuition and house rent,” Wasajja said.
