The Los Angeles Lakers are having a pretty good January.
The team has a losing record overall but is 6-5 in 2018, despite the noise from the Ball family and the need for public confidence for Luke Walton as coach.
Still, I’m not sure they’re having as good a time as the guy who won $100,000 by banking in a halfcourt shot on Sunday.

If he's not lying, the Lakers fan that won 100K with this half court shot is a Space X employee and a bounty hunter (@LakersReporter) pic.twitter.com/Fw4cyyEnzR

The fan’s name is apparently Suni Strong, and he’s from Palmdale. He played high school basketball, works at Space-X, and was on a canceled A&E show about bounty hunting.
Seriously.
Via OC Register:
“When I first walked in I said have my check ready,” he said. “I knew I was going to make it. I had to.”
Asked if he called “bank,” Strong replied, “Why would I do that? I called money.”
That’s some serious scratch.
