How many points for dunking from the 3-point line?
If a player jumps from behind the 3-point line and dunks the ball, how many points are awarded?
OK, dumb hypothetical play but, BY RULE, what is correct answer, 2 or 3 points?
Oh, and what about dunking a free throw? Shooter can't cross line until ball makes contact with rim/backboard after release but if dunking, there is no release until it has made contact or gone through the rim.
Yes, I know, they are dumb plays that can't happen. Just thinking too much this X-Mas morning prepping for day of NBA follies.
