Los Angeles Lakers fan Mike Bell nailed a lifelong shot on Thursday night.
Bell plans to use it wisely by hitting a $100,000 half-court shot during his break in action.
“We were actually just married in November and spent a significant portion of our savings on weddings, honeymoons, etc., so most of this money would be refilling it and filling up a bit of our bank account,” Bell said via TMZ.

“But I'm going to treat myself with something nice, maybe a special Kobe pair or something like that.
“I spent most of the entire third quarter of the tunnel, and that was kind of down in an area where all the celebrities walk,” Bell said.

“I'm sitting there trying to concentrate like a potentially life-changing shot. And after a celebrity walks by my side, I have a celebrity. It was kind of a wild experience. I tried not to get to my head about it.”
After Bell drilled the shot, he said to celebrate, “it turned black.”
“I made the man black, I got black. It's funny, my wife has given me a hard time with how the PA announcer women feel, she asked me how I feel, and my reaction is “Go Lakers.” Honestly, I hadn't heard her questions at all. I didn't know what she asked me.

To celebrate, Bell said he had high fives on Floyd Mayweather, Spike Lee and Los Angeles Rams star wide receiver Puka Nacua.
Bell said his wife didn't want anything specifically, but he would get something for her with new money.
“She didn't quote anything specifically,” he said. “She's up with me, watching games, and turning on the TV in her bed. If she wants something, there's not much I can do.”
