Bell hit a $100,000 half-court shot during a break in action, and plans to spend it wisely. 

"But I'm going to treat myself to something nice, maybe a special pair of Kobe's or something like that, something definitely to commemorate it."

Bell said, "I spent pretty much the whole third-quarter in the tunnel just kind of like getting ready for it, and so it was kind of down in the area where all the celebrities are walking through and stuff," Bell said. 

"I'm sitting there trying to focus on like a potentially life-changing shot, and I've got celebrity after celebrity walking by me. It was kind of a wild experience. I was trying not to get in my own head about it."

After Bell drilled the shot, he said he "blacked out" in celebration. 

"I blacked out man, I blacked out. It's funny, my wife has been giving me a hard time about how the PA announcer woman, she like asked me how I was feeling, and my response is 'Go Lakers.' Honestly, I didn't hear her question at all, I had no idea what she asked me, and 'Go Lakers' just felt like a safe response to give to whatever it might be."

Bell said his wife hasn't asked for anything specifically, but he will get something for her with the newfound money.
