Just like high school, five sides of the backboard (top, bottom, left side, right side, front) are inbounds. In HS, if the ball goes over the top of a rectangular backboard, it's OOB, whether or not it hit the top first (sometimes it hits the rim and then goes over). In the NBA, if the ball attempts to go over the top, it will hit the 24 second clock and this puts it OOB.
