Alex Rodriguez
I Can Ball No Matter the Sport …
Makes $10K Shot For College Student

Alex Rodriguez proved he’s a baller on the baseball diamond and the hardwood … ’cause he tossed up a shot Sunday from halfcourt and made it — helping out one lucky student in the process.
The former Yankees third baseman was in attendance to watch Army take on Bucknell University Saturday afternoon in basketball … and, during halftime he was invited to take a huge shot from the middle of the floor.
And @Arod just made a half court shot during halftime to win a Bucknell student $10,000!! Wow! pic.twitter.com/Bd0vtwQsdQ

Check out the vid … A-Rod — clad in a bright orange Bucknell t-shirt — tosses the ball up, hits the backboard and the ball goes straight through the hoop.
It’s a Steph Curry-level make, and the crowd goes absolutely berserk — especially one kid who’s gotta be an A-Rod fan for life … ’cause he made $10K after A-Rod sank the basket.
Rodriguez scoops the student up into a big hug right after he won him the money … a moment that has to feel more like a dream than real life for this lucky fan.
BTW … Bucknell crushed Army, 84-53 — so, it was a pretty darn good day all around for Bucknell U.
Alex hit 696 homers during his big league career … and, he’s now got one cash-winning halfcourt shot under his belt too!
