Lakers fan wins HUGE $75,000 for hitting half-court shot and gets hug from star Anthony Davis!

A Los Angeles Lakers fan got far more than he could have imagined when attending the Lakers' 116-115 loss to the Indiana Pacers Monday night. 

While his team may have suffered defeat, the fan walked away $75,000 richer after draining a sensational half-court shot. 

If that wasn't enough, he also received a celebratory hug from star forward, Anthony Davis.

Sporting a black Lakers cap, the man threw up the shot in an unorthodox fashion, but the result was right; sailing in for a swish, much to the crowd's amazement. 

In hysterical fashion, the fan celebrating by high-fiving courtside fans before performing, 'The Griddy', commonly performed by Vikings receiver Justin Jefferson and other wideouts following touchdowns in NFL games. 

The Lakers were almost ready to take the court following the break, but Davis found himself wrapped up in a big hug before getting back into the game.

It was an otherwise all-too-familiar feeling for the Lakers (7-12) who slumped to yet another loss, this time at the buzzer. 

Indiana Rookie Andrew Nembhard hit a 3-pointer at the horn as the Pacers rallied from a 17-point deficit in the fourth quarter to complete the stunning comeback. 

Tyrese Haliburton scored 24 points and hit a tying layup with 39 seconds left for the Pacers, who trailed 101-84 early in the fourth.

LeBron James hit a one-handed floater with 20.9 seconds left, and Myles Turner missed an ensuing 3-point attempt for Indiana - but Haliburton got the long rebound and eventually found Nembhard alone on the perimeter with a crosscourt pass.

The ensuing bucket crushed the LA crowd and set off a frenzied on-court group celebration that even included Pacers president of basketball operations Kevin Pritchard.

Though we know one Laker fan who would've found 75,000 reasons to keep smiling.
