Video: Real Madrid star Gareth Bale takes on NBA half-court challenge

Real Madrid star Gareth Bale has accepted a challenge from the NBA to attempt a half-court basketball shot.

The Wales international was asked by the league's official Twitter account to take on the ambitious task after he posted a video of himself scoring a basket with his feet.

The NBA wrote, "@garethbale11 nice skills, how about a #HalfCourt Challenge?", to which Bale replied saying: "@nbauk: Challenge accepted ??"

The 25-year-old, who has since nominated teammate Luka Modric and Formula 1 champion Lewis Hamilton to do the challenge, uploaded a video of himself attempting the shot while decked out in a basketball kit.

Have a look at my @NBAUK​ #HalfCourt challenge!! Luka​ and @LewisHamilton​ you're up! https://t.co/MfdCVTERSw
