Jackson State team student manager ‘Snacks’ becomes a legend in 1st career game

A highlight from Jackson State’s senior night has gone viral.
The team’s student manager Thomas “Snacks” Lee dressed out for the game and got to play for the first time in his career, and things couldn’t have turned out any better.
With Jackson State leading Arkansas-Pine Bluff 73-46 with 2 minutes remaining, the team pulled its starters. Snacks was then inserted into the game, and he quickly shot 3 3-point baskets, but he failed to hit any of them. Then, he became a legend. With 17 seconds left, Snacks heaved one from just inside half court, and he made it! The crowd absolutely went nuts on his first and (almost likely) last points of his career.
