A janitor has become an internet sensation after he was caught on camera making an incredible basketball trick shot as he cleaned the school courts. 

Joe Orians, who is the custodian at Liberty-Benton Middle School in Findlay, Ohio, was filmed on CCTV nonchalantly bouncing a ball as he strolled across the empty court.

He then stood with his back to the hoop and without taking a glance over his shoulder launched the ball backwards.

It hit the target with ease before Orians lifted his arms up in the air to celebrate his victory.   

The clip has since been met with a wave of support after it was uploaded to Twitter by School Principal Kyle Leatherman alongside a caption that read: ‘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.’  

The clip, which was recorded in the school’s gym on February 4, captured Orians as he was preparing for the school day.

The janitor, dressed in all black, walks to half court as he casually bounces the ball to warm up. 

He then effortlessly pulls off the trick shot before peering over his shoulder just in time to see the ball fall through the hoop.
