Some might say that hitting a baseball is the hardest thing to do in sports. Well, how about trying to get a shot off with a seven-foot tall NBA player looking to reject your shot? Or an athletic and aggressive defender all over you once you get the basetball in your hands? How about having to deal with both of these types of players in the NBA playoffs where every shot counts? Yeah, it's a very difficult thing, but the below players made it look easy.
