Ellis Coleman might not have won the Junior World Championships last week in Bucharest, Romania, but his electrifying three-point throw in his quarterfinal win over Iran's Mehdi Chooli Zeidvand has caught the attention of the mainstream media.

After being talked about by dozens of wrestling and mixed martial arts message boards, Coleman's move, the flying squirrel, has caught the eye of ESPN.
