WATCH: Rockies’ Kyle Freeland’s and Broncos’ Phillip Lindsay’s free-throw shots at the Nuggets games

A pair of homegrown sport stars had their basketball skills put to the test this weekend.

Rockies starting pitcher Kyle Freeland, who went to Thomas Jefferson High School, and Broncos running back Phillip Lindsay, a product of Denver South, each attempted the Western Union First Shot at Saturday’s and Sunday’s Nuggets games, respective.

Freeland sank his shot with ease.

He’s money on the mound…
AND HE’S MONEY FROM THE LINE!

Thanks to @Rockies’ pitcher @KFREE_21 for taking our first Western Union First Shot! #MileHighBasketball pic.
