In case you missed it, a guy at Friday's Miami Heat game made a hook shot from half court to win $75,000.  Then as soon as he drained it, LEBRON JAMES ran out to give him a hug, and pretty much ended up TACKLING him!

 As part of the contest, another 75 grand goes to benefit the Boys & Girls Clubs of America.  

Here's the kicker... $22K goes to taxes!  I guess $53K is better than $0K.  And hey, he got a sweet tackle hug by King James too... was that worth the $22K?  I think not.

After the game the owner of the Heat Tweeted this picture out.  He was out late partying it up and STILL carrying around the basketball!
