LBJ behind backboard shot

Not gonna lie, I've done that before playing some back yard basketball. I'm not impressed at all. The backboard is not even an obstacle when you are taking a fadeaway like that because you are going to be putting so much arc on the shot all the matters is if it's not target. I don't see why everyone is making a big deal out of this.

Fish7718 is correct here.

That really is not a hard shot to make, it just seems hard because it looks like something is in your way (when its really not). In reality if you can block out the idea of what you are doing, most players who have a decent jump shot would hit that on a regular basis. When i was younger we would always try trick shots and what not. One thing we would do is play behind the basket and take shots (we didnt have a clear board) and we would still make it probably 50% of the time.

I guess you were playing against a bunch of dudes the same height if not taller than you, in the middle of a game, with thousands of spectators?

The mechanics of the shot are the exact same as a normal shot, it just mentally screws with you because there is something kind of in the way.

Yeah but I also haven't been playing basketball all my life, won an NBA MVP or got drafted #1 overall.

:lol: I don't get what all the hype about this shot is... I do that all the time when I'm playing one on one, sure, that was a 5 on 5 but the commentators make it feel and look like he just won the game with that shot. -_- How many over the backboard shots have happened this season, alone?
