Detroit Teacher Tries To Break Record For Making Free Throws Blindfolded In A Hour

Sports Illustrated is reporting that a teacher from Frederick Douglass High School in Detroit, Michigan named Paul Sauers managed to make an incredible 483 free throws while being blindfolded, which might be a  Guinness world record.

Sauers had a huge support group around him, he had multiple ball boys helping him, he raised $1,500 during the March 28th event. At the rate he was going, Sauers hit a remarkable eight free throws per minute and it made more amazing is that multiple people were willing to play ball boy and fetch rebounds for a solid hour according to Sports Illustrated’s Ben Sin.

Michael Walters, who was one of the ball boys helping Sauers said:

At the moment he started, it was thrilling. At the moment of hitting the 150-mark … That was exciting. At the end, when he was getting up into the 400’s, those might have been exciting but the rest of the time in between was like watching paint dry.

Regardless if this is an actual record or not, what Paul Sauers did was truly an awesome thing and what made it more awesome was the support group that he had around him.

    him. Fairly certain he’s going to have a good read.

    Thanks for sharing!

  84. Hello exceptional website! Does running a blog similar to this take
    a great deal of work? I have very little expertise in programming however I was hoping to
    start my own blog in the near future. Anyway, should you have any suggestions or tips for new blog owners please share.
    I understand this is off subject however I simply
    had to ask. Appreciate it!

  85. Having read this I believed it was very informative. I appreciate you spending some time and effort to put this information together.
    I once again find myself personally spending a lot of time both reading and posting comments.
    But so what, it was still worth it!

  86. Woah! I’m really enjoying the template/theme of this blog.

    It’s simple, yet effective. A lot of times it’s challenging to get that “perfect balance” between superb usability and
    appearance. I must say you have done a excellent job with this.
    Additionally, the blog loads super fast for me on Safari.
    Excellent Blog!

  87. Howdy! I know this is kinda off topic however , I’d figured I’d ask.
    Would you be interested in trading links or maybe guest authoring
    a blog post or vice-versa? My blog covers
    a lot of the same subjects as yours and I think we could greatly benefit from each other.

    If you might be interested feel free to send me an email.
    I look forward to hearing from you! Wonderful blog by the way!
