Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Trevor Booker of the Utah Jazz made one of the most unbelievable shots you are ever likely to see - and later claimed he'd been practicing it.
With just 0.2 seconds left on the shot clock, Booker reacts to an inbounds pass from Gordon Hayward, with his back to the net, and flicks the ball skywards in one fluid motion.
Unbelievably it went in - the commentators reaction tells it all.
Booker, 27, even claimed after the 99-94 defeat to the Oklahoma City Thunder that he'd practiced the shot growing up.
"I know you won't believe me, but I really do practice those shots," Booker told reporters after the game.
"My cousin Jordan Hill [of the Los Angeles Lakers] texted me after the game, he was like, 'They probably won't believe it, but we practiced those shots all the time growing up.'"
The Milwaukee Bucks take on the New York Knicks at NBA Global Games London 2015 at The O2 on Thursday. The game is live on BT Sport and on NBA LEAGUE PASS.
