Arizona Man Sets Third World Record with Blindfolded Basketball Shot
A basketball enthusiast from Arizona, Jeremy Ware, has broken his third Guinness World Record by making an impressive underhand, blindfolded basketball shot from 60 feet away. His recent achievement took place in Scottsdale, further cementing his talent for extraordinary trick shots.
Jeremy Ware, age 32, of Scottsdale, is no novice to setting records. He has previously secured records for the most squats on a Swiss ball in one minute (a total of 37) and for the longest basketball shot made backward at 85 feet and 5 inches. However, Ware acknowledges that his latest feat was particularly challenging, given that it was accomplished in complete darkness. As he described to Guinness World Records, unlike previously when he had a reference point throwing backward, this required him to trust his instincts fully.
Jeremy's recent success came only a short time after learning that his previous record for the farthest basketball shot made backward was surpassed by Joshua Walker. This revelation seems to have rekindled his motivation, as it's on his mind to reclaim the title.
Ware's commitment to breaking records is not driven solely by competitive spirit but also by an incredible sense of personal accomplishment. Speaking with Guinness at one point, he recounted the amazement he felt as a child browsing through Guinness World Records books and marveled at the incredible talents within them. The fact that he now holds multiple records is both an unexpected blessing and a reaffirmation of his lifelong passion for basketball – a sport tied to his earliest memories.
As a devoted Denver Nuggets fan, Jeremy Ware doesn't rest on his laurels and continues to seek new milestones. Despite the added difficulty of a blindfold, which eliminated all reference points, Ware pressed through, showcasing his refined skills and remarkable precision.
This latest achievement further highlights Ware’s dedication and natural affinity for sports, which have been recognized since high school when he was named "most likely to break a world record." Now with three records to his name, Jeremy remains humble, expressing immense gratitude and joy for his unique successes.
