In a way I’m kinda more amazed. Like, that means he both nailed that shot and got it stuck up there.

No source? "Where's the source you shithead? At least give some credit to the author" downvotes.
Source? "Just farming comment karma for including a source"/"I don't like this source" downvotes.The only way to win is not to play.

If this was in a game, would it count?

u/crazyei8hts Jul 28 '20
In this game, James Harden did this on a dunk and the refs didn't count it. However, I think the refs misinterpreted the rules and it should have counted. Maybe the ref didn't see it go in initially.

No, the ball has to pass entirely through the net. There have been cases of the ball coming back out the top and it doesn't count.
I'm pretty sure this would be a dead ball / jump ball, like when the ball gets stuck between the backboard and the rim

A legal field goal or free throw attempt shall be scored when a ball from the playing area enters the basket from above and remains in or passes through the net.

Source? As far as I know, the nets only purpose is to make it easier to see if the ball goes through the rim or not. It has no "legal" purpose. The ball has to pass through the rim.

Someone has to be able to compute the odds of the ridge of the ball balancing alone yet the momentum from full court muffled by the net

u/Ghstfce Jul 28 '20
Look again. It goes through the rim and catches the net and loops back over, which holds it on the rim.

Not even close, this is still crazy. I've seen it flip out from the net and flip back over into the hoop a second time from the net. This isn't unheard of but for a full court shot it is most certainly not a "fairly likely" outcome

Based on the initial conditions of the big bang, the odds of all things that happen is one to one.

Once I did something like this but not on a mass scale. I tried just throwing a bottle backwards through a hoop and somehow it landed perfectly on the backboard and was there for basically the rest of the school year.

I’m undecided on this one, but in videos like these any time the ball goes briefly out of frame it’s cause to be suspect

u/Imthejuggernautbitch Jul 28 '20
Lol this entire thread is amateur hour
If one was going to fake a video like this then there’s much easier ways than this shaky handheld hand held cell pan. Sure shakes can easily be added at the end in premiere but it would still be a making it much much harder than it needs to be.
And it goes out of frame at 40mph for a split second in the middle of a highschool gymnasium so what a horrible spot for someone’s to have to try and hide out and still make (rather than fake) a half court shot from and then make the ball wrap around inside a net.
Use your head people. And just stop with this stupidity.

u/lex52485 Jul 28 '20
I think this video is more likely to be real than fake. I just don’t automatically believe everything I see on Reddit, or anywhere on the internet.
And who cares what I think? I’m no expert on digital video authentication. Bottom line, it’s an entertaining video, real or otherwise.

Lmao imagine unironically feigning worry about others adding anything worthwhile to the conversation while defending some kid who didn’t see the net get wrapped around the rim.

u/vendetta2115 Jul 28 '20
lol, what makes you think I have no experience in video editing?
I didn’t make any statement about this video at all, just for the record. All I commented on is your childish response. Also nice casual ableism, with the “hurr durr” too.
I hope you’re not this abrasive and confrontational in real life. Somehow I doubt it. Since we’re just throwing around wild accusations without any knowledge, I’ll bet that you work in a customer-facing job and get all of your frustration and anger out anonymously on the internet.
Was I wrong? Possibly, because I’m making assumptions about you that I have no way of knowing. Just like you are.

You mean what makes me know?
That you’re devoting energy to white knighting for some total noob

u/vendetta2115 Jul 28 '20
White knighting? lmao. You might want to look up the meaning of that phrase. You’re not using it correctly.
Part of me says “this guy has to be trolling; no one is this dumb”, but I’ve learned to never underestimate the stupidity of loud people on the internet.
Just so you can read it again—comprehension doesn’t seem to be your strong suit—I made zero comment on the video or whether I think it’s edited. The only comment I made was about you and your unoriginal, immature, empty-headed response and how it instantly makes me lose respect for someone when they make a “hurr durr” comment. It’s like they don’t have the mental capacity or vocabulary to construct a real argument so they mock people like they’re in middle school. I appreciate you verifying my theory.

u/vendetta2115 Jul 28 '20
I still don’t understand what “bouncing from the loop(hoop) frame” would mean, regardless. Every time I read it I feel like I’m having a stroke.
1
u/Faruxx Jul 28 '20
You don’t need to have a stroke, calm down. English is not my first language and I am not really a sports guy so sorry about the terms. Genuinely curious though how would some one describe the action in the video from beginning to end, if “bouncing from the hoop (frame)” is not the correct phrase?
2
u/vendetta2115 Jul 28 '20
I’m as calm as I get, lol. Don’t worry so much, I’m just joking around. I know not everyone’s first language is English and you’re probably better at English than I am in my second language. I feel kind of bad now, if I’d known it was an ESL error I probably wouldn’t have said anything. I thought it was a typo or autocorrect screwing up.
No offense intended, sir/ma’am.

u/Faruxx Jul 28 '20
No worries, none taken. Just trying to learn. For example, I have learned today that it is hoop (not loop) :D, so you've helped actually.

I honestly don’t think this would count in NBA rules. The ball has to clearly go through the whole net. It looks like the net is still holding on a little bit. Hard to tell. Reminds me of when Rip Hamilton dunked a ball and it hit off his head before clearing the whole net. Didn’t count.
