Cleveland Cavaliers' Moondog sinks half-court shot

May 25 (UPI) -- If J.R. Smith makes a half-court shot in Boston, what happens 640 miles away?

The Cleveland Cavaliers mascot answers back at Quicken Loans Arena with a half-court heave of his own, of course.

In a romper.

Yes, the male-romper (RompHim?) has taken to mascots.

The Cavaliers guard known for his ability to hit low-percentage long-distance shots tried out one from the Celtics logo Thursday at TD Garden. He stood at half-court and put the ball in his right hand. Smith then tossed the ball underhanded toward the hoop before it swished through the net.
