Meek Mill didn't even have to take his Timbs off to sink a backwards, half-court shot and win $50k. Philadelphia 76ers co-owner Michael Rubin gave the rapper 25 chances to hit a reverse shot from the Sixers logo and hit it with plenty of shots to spare. 

In a video posted to Instagram, Meek misses the first attempt before nailing a second one, sending the entire gym into fits. 

"50k bet on these shots!" Meek explained in the post's caption. "I had to make 1 out of 25 backward shots from half court against [Rubin.]

Backwards, half-court shots are Rubin's challenge of choice. He previously posted a video of Joel Embiid hitting the shot on his first try.

"How many tries do you think this would take ME???," Rubin wrote. [Embiid] got it on his first try!!!!"

Rubin followed that up with a video of himself hitting the shot and screaming as he ran toward the camera. 

"[Joel Embiid] HAS NOTHING ON ME!!!!!!!" he wrote. 

While Meek would have every reason to take a break, given his recent stint in prison, the rapper has remained busy. When he's not sinking trick shots for ludicrous amounts of money, Meek has been steadily racking up guest slots and building toward his own album of new material. 

He appeared on T.I.'s Dime Trap and Belly's Immigrant albums in the last several weeks and, if Bangladesh's Instagram is any indication, he has a song coming up with his ex's archrival Cardi B. It might not be a diss track, but with the sort of hotstreak Bardi is on, it's probably going to be a hit.
