"How would you feel if you scored a world record, only to have it absolutely demolished a mere 10 days later? Probably a lot like the Orlando Magic's Dwight Howard, who set the Guinness World Record for sinking the longest basketball shot while sitting down. Today, Magic teammate Vince Carter made an 85-foot shot, officially stealing Howard's thunder.The video of the award-winning shot, which is sure to go viral soon enough (it went up today and has already hit 8,202 views), shows a feat of reclining athleticism to rival all feats of reclining athleticism \u2014 which basically means it's cooler than bobsledding. If sitting-down basketball were an option in high school, I would have totally participated. \nThis rapid turn-around when it comes to a Guinness World Record hints at future face-offs in the wake of the organization's acquisition of Bragster. If challenges continue to manifest at this rate, we could be looking at real-time record-offs almost akin to true-blue sporting events.\nCheck out the record-making and record-breaking videos below:\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThere's also this video of a fan named Dustin Leach who says he beat Dwight's record one day after the b-b sunk the the long shot. If he did, indeed, best the pro it's all null anyway. Carter still killed them both.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
