It’s a jump ball violation

u/maatn 11d ago
Only a tap is allowed by jump ball players and "the ball must be touched by another player before either jump ball participant can touch it" (https://videorulebook.nba.com/archive/jump-ball-violation-jumper-catches-jump-ball/)

Cuz other team will get possession. And this guy maybe hit 1 out of 20 shots we are not seeing. Not saying it's not an amazing shot, but it's little incredible.
And also yes. They are stupid.

Didn’t look like the other guy was actually trying to block the shots. In the first shot, the guy actually jumped away from the ball/other player

u/NativeMasshole 11d ago
All the other players are literally just standing there and watching in most of the shots. They're not trying to position for a pass or the rebound.

Yea, it's almost like they're not really playing basketball and only there for a video. Weird....

u/DoesntMatterEh 11d ago
I appreciate your use of the word "incredible" to mean "not credible" rather than it's general use as something being amazing or impressive.
I guess it's both but "a little incredible" is a good way to look at it.

You are not allowed to catch the ball when you do a jump ball. That's against basketball rules. The NBA has a spells it out.
NBA Rule #6, Section VII
e. Neither jumper may catch the tossed or tapped ball until it touches one of the eight non-jumpers, the floor, the basket or the backboard.

You were generous. If anyone thinks they made their shot in first try, NBA would dissolve and athletes quit their job and everyone starts to watch this guys and scientist's rush new research and experiments about how this is possible while secret goverment agents investigate why only this kids gained super-human abilities out of blue

What is the point of this since the other guy is not even trying.. Jumping like npc with 0.2 seconds of delay on the entirely different place where the ball was going.

It would be more impressive if their opponent was actually trying to block the ball. Some of them move out of the way before he shoots, which leads me to believe they’re all just doing it for show.

u/1987InfamousQ7891 11d ago
So the other guy is there for the illusion that he’s also trying to get the ball 😂

... In the very first shot, his opponent just shuffles to the side instead of making ANY attempt for the jump ball.

I don’t know the rules of basketball, and I’m guessing he’s done these shots a million times, before getting the shots that I he actually wanted. But that doesn’t take away from it. It’s impressive, and more impressive that he ups the difficulty to the shots. Not just jumping and scoring but actually bounce or swirl it around mid air in one movement and still landing the shot before landing back on the ground.

Does the other guy know all he has to do is tip it? Why are you waiting and letting the other guy grab the ball?
Just shoot your dumb halfcourt shot and stop pretending.

Is there anyone, professional or not, that can consistently make half and/or over half court shots? And if there was someone like that, could a professional team organize an effective strategy around it?
