I don't dispute the conclusion, only your reading of what the photo shows....

I zoomed and cropped to just the rim in your 3rd shot.



It doesn't show enough detail to determine anything. For all I know, that is bigfoot that is near the rim. It definitely doesn't make it clear that the rim is in front of the ball. (The 2nd shot is equally inconclusive)

You can totally see the rim and that the bottom of the ball is clearly within it. How could the ball possibly be in front of it?

Fair enough. I still maintain the video in the OP was not that clear though. So this raises the question, why didn't the L do anything?
