I read about this in the paper, but it is really cool to see the video.

I am so glad I finally got a high speed connection!!

Did you notice what he said about how the basket became a big 'bucket'??

Ed said he thinks this kid had some weird perceptual distortion going on for that period of time that made it almost impossible for him not to hit the basket.

Figures that ESPN would do a great job on this! I've seen it a couple other places, and they were not mentioning any of his misses after the first two. For example, I think that the ABC story implied that he hit seven shots in a row. That's frankly unbelievable, and in fact gave the impression that he'd been 'allowed' to score -- you'd have to be paying careful attention to the video clips to realize that that wasn't the case.

How many did he miss?

My impression was that he missed the first, then kept hitting - I'll have to watch again.
