WATCH: Alex Rodriguez shows off unreal basketball skills to win $10,000 for student during Bucknell vs Army

New York Yankees legend Alex Rodriguez is widely regarded as one of the best players to wear the iconic pinstripes. In a hugely successful MLB career that spanned 22 seasons, Rodriguez built up a massive list of accolades, which include 14 All-Star nods, three AL MVP awards and a World Series ring.

On Sunday, Rodriguez proved that his skills on the basketball court matched the ones he showed so often on the diamond. During halftime of a basketball game at Bucknell University he was attending, Rodriguez was invited to try his luck at finding the net from half-court.

Showing off some unreal skills, Rodriguez bounced the ball in off the backboard, winning one lucky student a massive $10,000, which is set to pay for his tuition.

A triumphant A-Rod then ran around in celebration, even carrying a fan in his arms.
