It's not completely inside the lane is it? The LDB extends to 3 feet outside the lane, I believe (bordered by an imaginary line from the 3 foot post-up mark that intercepts with the dotted line extended). Correct?
From the NBA rulebook p.53: "The lower defensive box is the area between the 3-foot posted-up marks, the bottom tip of the circle and the endline."
