Ah these clips are great. Stuff like these are always entertaining. It's not that they portray some superhuman skills. It's just that sometimes even throwing up an unbelievable freak shot can work out. These freak shots are the kinds that even no-name rookies and 3rd-stringers could potentially make and they'll still get featured on the highlight reel.

ive watched this a few times now..... wtf is meant to be so special about it ?

its not behind the back either, and "flip"?

i was expecting some guy to throw the ball from behind his back, while doing a mid air flip. all he does is lift the ball up into the net which he's point blank under.

wtf ?

^Yes, it's behind-the-back. He was facing the opposite direction of the basket when he shot the ball. Yes, it's a flip shot. If you've ever seen a game of basketball before, you'd know that players do not perform backflips and Liu Kang bicycle kicks during the game. A flip shot is a "flick of the wrist" shot.

Based on your assumption that this shot is easy, you're probably not very familiar with basketball. I'd recommend doing a search of some of the other cool basketball videos on the Sift to get a feel for how unique a shot like this is.

Can you do that with two people pulling you down, falling backwards, shooting over your head with your off hand all with your back to the basket?

I didnt think so. Otherwise you would be playing ball right now.

That is an incredible shot. Specially to have that much strength and awareness of where the basket is in such a hectic situation.

A 6 foot backwards heave-on-a-prayer that bounces around isn't spectacular, coming from a 7'6" injury-prone big man with limited mobility and questionable defense.

Allen Iverson has made a career out of such shots, and he's only 6'1".

ok on the flip thing ;-/ but behind the back ? - behind the back would be either passing behind his back while facing the ring, or somehow throwing it from behind his back while facing the ring. -- this is just "overhead" ;-/

sorry to rain on the fire and all, but is that really as exciting as it gets ? -- as i say, from the title i was expecting something spectacular

This was more "over the head" than "behind the back". Behind the back would require him to wrap it around his back and release from the opposite side of his shooting hand. This was actually more a "over the head" flip shot.

Okay lets stop arguing about the behind the back/over the head. Can we all just agree that its a nice (lucky) shot?

Oh son, you must not have watched much basketball in your life. You're so wrong in thinking its "behind-the-back" that I can't even explain it to you. Go back to loving Obama or give up sports. And no, don't ask any of us what is behind the back...it's pointless for you.
