# NBA news: Lakers' fan who hit $100,000 halfcourt shot says he will use money to pay for wedding

Bell made the shot during a break in the Lakers-Knicks game.





Bell said, "I spent pretty much the whole third-quarter in the tunnel just kind of like getting ready for it, and so it was kind of down in the area where all the celebrities are walking through and stuff," Bell said.

"I’m sitting there trying to focus on like a potentially life-changing shot, and I’ve got celebrity after celebrity walking by me. It was kind of a wild experience. I was trying not to get in my own head about it."

After Bell drilled the shot, he said he "blacked out" in celebration.

"I blacked out man, I blacked out. It’s funny, my wife has been giving me a hard time about how the PA announcer woman, she like asked me how I was feeling, and my response is ‘Go Lakers.’ Honestly, I didn’t hear her question at all, I had no idea what she asked me, and ‘Go Lakers’ just felt like a safe response to give to whatever it might be."



In celebration, Bell said he high-fived Floyd Mayweather, Spike Lee and  star wide receiver Puka Nacua.

Bell said his wife hasn’t asked for anything specifically, but he will get something for her with the newfound money.

"She hasn't cited anything specifically," he said. "She puts up with me staying up late watching  and having the TV on in bed. If she asks for something, it's the least I could do."
