Rockies' Charlie Blackmon totally redeems himself with backward, half-court shot

After an embarrassing start to the week, things are trending upward for Colorado Rockies outfielder Charlie Blackmon.

The man who literally had nothing left in his tank not too long ago had plenty of magic at Thursday night's Denver Nuggets-Memphis Grizzlies game.

Blackmon, who had to be rescued by teammate DJ LeMahieu when he ran out of gas on the highway Tuesday, sunk a shot from half court -- over his shoulders, while facing the opposite basket -- at halftime Thursday.

Blackmon attended the game with some of his Rockies teammates. We assume someone else drove.
