During the event, Chan received shooting tips from renowned basketball shooting coach Chris Mathews before stepping onto the court to try his hand at the sport.
Chan then surprised the crowd by sinking a long-distance shot straight through the hoop. Delighted by his successful attempt, the action star raised both arms in celebration as fans erupted into cheers.
The NBA also highlighted the moment on social media, writing, “Chan accepted the challenge, casually threw a jump shot, and succeeded on his first attempt.”
