USA-Argentina

[gostars]

After watching the game I have a question. During the first quarter, one of the US players was fouled and missed the shot. (I think it was Odom.) He then picked up the ball and dunked it pulling the rim down in the process. Is that legal? I thought you weren’t allowed to dunk or pull on the rim (or do any practicing for that matter) during a ball. Maybe FIBA rules are different.
