The NBA All-Star Weekend took place in San Francisco, featuring a variety of entertaining events.

Among these was a mini-contest, with a prize of $100,000 at stake.

To win, 18-year-old Jaren Barajas had to make one three-point shot before his star opponent – All-Star Game participant Damian Lillard – could make three such shots.

Both players struggled with their shots; Lillard made two out of his first five attempts, while Jaren missed every single one of his shots.

As the timer was running down, the competitors took three more shots, with the professional basketball player not hitting a single one. However, the young man made his final shot just as the buzzer sounded, and it turned out to be accurate.

After his victory, the young man assured that he would spend the money on his family's needs and also cover his college tuition.
