Jeremy Ware, 32, from Scottsdale, Arizona, set a new world record by making a blindfolded basketball shot from 18 metres away.

Ware, known for his amazing trick shots, earned his third Guinness World Records title with this impressive feat. His previous records include the most squats on a Swiss ball in one minute (37) and the farthest basketball shot made backwards (25 metres).

Ware said that this blindfolded shot was the toughest challenge yet. “It’s completely dark, and you just have to trust the process and your instincts,” Ware explained. Despite the difficulty, he managed to sink the shot using an underhand technique.

Recently, Ware’s record for the farthest backwards shot was broken, and he is now thinking about attempting to reclaim that title. For now, his blindfolded shot stands as a remarkable achievement in the world of trick basketball shots.
