Video: Gareth Bale is surprisingly good at NBA’s half-court challenge

In your American face Brad Friedel.

Kitted out in a Miami Heat singlet, Gareth Bale took part in the NBA's half-court challenge while he was back in the UK on international duty. The Real Madrid and Wales attacking midfielder played some hoops when he was a sprout and, if this video is anything to go by, must have been handy at it. Bale nominated Lewis Hamilton and Luka Modric to have a few darts and try beat his total. We doubt if the loveable sapling Modric would even be able to lift a basketball.
