OHIO — Custodians spend hours and hours in schools after everyone else leaves. They clean, they repair, and they refurbish. Oh yeah, and they also sink incredible shots in the gym.
This video comes from Liberty Benton Middle School in Ohio. The custodian is Joe Orians, and he apparently likes to go all Steph Curry on the court during his cleaning routine.
Our custodian is better than yours. Just casually walking through the gym with no one watching but the security camera. Trick shot, nothing but net. @espn@DudePerfect#WeAreLBpic.twitter.com/uxkDKJhG8S

Orians' over-the-shoulder shot has "circus" written all over it. When he mentioned to the school's principal later that he'd pulled off quite a stunt in the gym, the principal went and got the footage from the security camera.
"Our custodian is better than yours," principal Kyle Leatherman wrote in the original tweet. "Just casually walking through the gym with no one watching but the security camera. Trick shot, nothing but net."
Leatherman actually promoted the video, as any good principal would, and it ended up on Sports Center's Top 10 earlier this year. But Orians isn't letting the notoriety go to his head.
"I had just as good of a chance to make the half-court shot as a layup," he reportedly told principal Leatherman. "I'm not very good."
