Now, how could Joakim's contact be legal at any level? It was a try that was on the way down, was above the rim, and had a chance to go in????
It wasn't an alley oop, which only becomes legal to grab because it is off to the side/front of the basket....where it isn't going in.

Sorry for the confusion. I wasn't talking about the play from the first clip...I meant the play that bob was referencing in the 2nd clip posted.
