Oh come on that's gotta be fake! I mean why wasn't it on national news or something? That's too far to be realistic. Remember that nike comerical for Lebron James (NBA) with the free throw shots from the other end of the court? Totally fake but looks real.

It doesn't necessarily have to be fake. But I don't know why it has so many views. First of all, we have no way of knowing if that is in reality 100 yards. Second, the throw is going downhill (from a place of elevation down to the riverbank). It's easier to throw farther when your slope is decreasing.

There is no way of knowing that is 100 yards.....doubtful.

notice which way the wind is blowing too? All sorts of factors in this. I'd say it was closer to 60-70 yards at most, from an elevated position, & wind pushing the ball. He probably practiced that shot several times too. I can throw 200 yards from the top of a friends driveway. His driveway is on the side of a steep cliff and the wind blows over the top all the time. If you hit a golf ball right with a little back wind, you can get some 500 yard drives. My wife hits 300 yard drives off that hill.

More impressive in the last second of a game
