Sixers Fan Makes Half-Court Shot, Wins Season Tickets During Game

The return of Joel Embiid may have been the game's most anticipated moment, this was certainly the most surprising one.

Mark Naimoli, a Lancaster native and music teacher, sank a half-court shot during the Sixers-Pacers game Sunday, earning him season tickets for 2019-2020. Take a look!

Although the 76ers celebrated a 106 to 89 victory against the Indiana Pacers, they were not the only ones who had an on-the-court win Sunday. 

Arguably, the most memorable shot of the game was taken by Sixers fan and high school treacher Mark Naimoli. 

During halftime, Naimoli successfully made a basket from half-court in exchange for free season tickets for the 2019-2020 season.

The crowd went wild as Naimoli launched a picture-perfect shot into the net and ran around the court celebrating like a pro. 

A longtime Sixers fan, Naimoli has been buying season tickets for years. But this time he earned his tickets and the respect of his fellow fans.
