Something we don't see everyday!

Anybody ever see this happen-its from a game between Idaho State and Utah State earlier this week?A free throw literally stops on the rim before falling in.

Impossible, unless there was some subsequent outside force applied to the ball.

That's either Photoshop or Kryptonite.

I've never seen such a thing in basketball....but such an even is certainly possible.

I'd never seen that even either. How odd, eh?

I have [twice] seen the ball lodge on top of the rim and against the backboard, i.e. on top on the mounting. First was on a large 'throw and hope' at the end of a game (shame it did not drop and go to O/T) and then again about two weeks ago on the free throw.

I don't think you could do it on purpose but it was kinda fun to see.
