Former Kansas player hits $10,000 half-court shot for the second year in a row
Brennan Brechard, director of basketball operations at the University of Kansas, drained a half-court shot and head coach Bill Self wrote a $10,000 check.
Alone, that feat is impressive.
What's even more incredible, though, was that it happened for the second year in a row.

At Kansas' annual preseason event, two students are randomly chosen from the crowd for a chance to win $10,000 from Self. They can either take the shot themselves, or select someone else. Sophomore Jordan Stiers clearly liked the look of Brechard's shot last year, and selected the former Kansas player.
He did not disappoint.
Self grabbed his checkbook and made one out to Stiers right there on the court.
Stiers told The Kansas City Star that she plans to give the $10,000 to her grandmother, who saved her from foster care at age 10 and offered to raise four of Stiers' siblings.
“There’s nothing I can do to repay her, but this will say thank you a little bit,” Stiers said.
