Question Amazing play but is it legal???

Watch the video here: http://www.i-am-bored.com/bored_link.cfm?link_id=14263

*When I viewed the video, all content and links were safe for work. I cannot be held responsible for any current content or links.*

With that being said, should the basket count?

*Edited to hopefully fix stupid spelling mistake in subject.

I would say yes. A foul on #33(I think) would have prevented all this though as it came before the shot.

Hmmm, can you call BI on a net?

It looks legal to me - the ball entered the basket from above and went all the way through.

Ok, just because it's Monday, let's say the player was falling OOB just outside the 3-point arc.

2 points or 3? And, like any good quiz, show your work.

Count 3 points for a try behind the 3-point arc going in the basket.

Edit: No books, in a computer lab right now.

Hey! Get back to work! What are you doing in a computer lab looking at things like this when you should be working on your education? Man, I just hate it when people use their computers at school or work for personal stuff. I mean, when you're at work, like I am now, you should be concentrating on work...er...no personal stuff...I mean...uh...

Never mind.

Is this guy left handed or not? I use this same shot all the time when I play H-O-R-S-E but I always use my off hand. So if he's right handed, no letter for him. LOL

ok, home and watched it.

I'd say no points (to bad) Foul on #33 on the floor, pushing is obvious before shot is released. I think anyway, but darn it's a nice shot

I am not sure I'd call the foul there on the defense. The hands were there and went out but with the palyer chasing the ball it made no difference to the play. Incidental. Guy tosses ball in give him 2
