Morning Wrap: Vlade Divac Drains Half Court Shot for $90K

((ht: probasketballtalk.com))

Oh you Vlade Divac. Never change.

The former Los Angeles Lakers and Sacramento Kings center was a guest at Tuesday nights Lakers vs. Golden State Warriors game. And at some point he got to be the guest half-court shooter.

Which meant between the end of the third and beginning of the 4th quarter Divac was brought out onto the court where he promptly drained the runner from the center circle at half court.

Divac gave the crowd a golf wave, smiled and walked away with $90,000 which he immediately donated to his favorite charity.

Oh...we should add the lowly Lakers pulled out an upset win over the Warriors minus Laker star Kobe Bryant....

Boom!

Here's to hoping he got it...
