Crystal Palace stars take on 76-second basketball challenge as fans' favourite Luka Milivojevic shows off incredible free throw skills to beat team-mates

Daily Mail | January 11, 2018

Luka Milivojevic has impressed Crystal Palace fans with his footballing ability this season, but it seems the Serbian is adept at another sport too.

With the Philadelphia 76ers in town for the NBA London Game on Thursday, four members of the Eagles' squad tried their hand at basketball after training.

Martin Kelly, Bakary Sako, Patrick van Aanholt and Milivojevic were tasked with shooting as many hoops as they could in 76 seconds, but with a slight twist. For every successful throw, they were made to step further back from the target.
