Ex-UH basketball player's H-O-R-S-E video picked among best by nba.com
Advertiser Staff
Former University of Hawai�i basketball player Kenny Kelly has had his video selected as one of the three finalists for the best H.O.R.S.E. Shot on nba.com.
Fans were asked to upload their trick-shot video and nba.com selected the top three, which will then be voted on by fans.
The winning video might be performed live by NBA H.O.R.S.E. contestants at All-Star Weekend 2010 in Dallas Feb. 13 on TNT.
Kelly, who played for UH in 2004 and graduated with a degree in economics in 2006, was wearing his UH shorts when he performed his no-look, behind-the-head, bounce-off-the-ground, nothing-but-net shot.
�I just wanted to be creative. Do something no one�s done before,� he said.
�I was always a good dribbler. That was my forte, so why shoot it?�
Kelly, who works for Lockheed Martin in Dallas, said he played with Bobby Nash and Julian Sensley and said Deonte Tatum was one of his best friends on the team.
�I was on the scout team, so coach (Bob) Nash was like my head coach,� he said.
Kelly said he shot the video with his iphone in January after watching the Lakers-Cavaliers.
