Tristan Jass’ Incredible ‘Jump Off The Wall’ Trick Shot Catches Shaquille O’Neal’s Attention And it Took Only 21 Tries

LA Lakers legend Shaquille O’Neal is highly active on social media. His Instagram profile in particular acts as a catalog of his love for all things basketball. Recently, Shaq came across YouTuber Tristan Jass’s impressive trickshot which apparently took him 21 attempts to pull off. One look at the clip makes 21 attempts look utterly impressive. Shaq shared the video as part of his Instagram story.

Jass jumped off the wall at the entrance of Miami Heat’s Kaseya Center, high up in the stands. He then chucked off the ball towards the basket and got the shot on target after getting it to bounce beyond the 3-point line. NBA’s official Instagram account was also tagged in the clip, which seems to have impressed Shaquille O’Neal as well. Tristan Jass is a content creator who has 2.2 million followers on Instagram and is known for his basketball trick shots.

While most of us might struggle to even make a 3-pointer, Jass pulled off an incredible trickshot without even looking toward the court. He first jumped off the side wall near one of the entrances.

Jass then proceeded to make the shot after landing, which bounced beyond the 3-point line on the left of the court. The YouTuber was clearly ecstatic after catching the net and ran down the stairs with his arms outstretched. He then claimed to be checking out the court before the crucial game 4:

The incredible trickshot saw a response from the official NBA account as well. Tristan himself revealed that it took him exactly 21 tries to get the shot right. That obviously seemed impressive to most of his viewers.

While the jump shot was incredibly impressive, the YouTuber has previously produced even more impressive shots. The Kaseya Center is not even the first NBA arena where he has produced a similar jump-off-the-wall trickshot.

The YouTuber has 2.2 million followers on Instagram and many of his videos have previously gone viral. This includes a similar trickshot that he did at Chicago’s Wintrust Arena before the draft combines earlier this year.

Jass has also collaborated with multiple NBA teams in the past, including the New York Knicks. Now 23, he previously had the option of joining a college team, and could even have made it to the NBA. However, Jass decided to focus on content creation instead, a decision that seems to have paid off handsomely.
