The pair arrive on the roof, where Blakes sinks a basket from 100 feet up and 100 feet out.

The shot was arranged to promote the Globetrotters' upcoming Bay Area tour.

"Steph, KD, Klay and the fellas have made some pretty unbelievable shots at Oracle Arena, home of the Golden State Warriors. But we'd like to see them try this one!" the video's description reads.
