I'm watching the Faker vs OKC game right now and I want everybody to watch SportsCenter tonight. A certain 6'7" black man that wears #24 for LA just made one of the sickest shots I[ve ever seen in my life!!!!! Harden pushed him baseline and as #24 is falling out of bounds BEHIND the backboard he shoots over the shotclock and backboard and swishes it! Whether you hate him or not, that is the toughest shot I've ever seen! GO BLAZERS!
That's what I thought. I remember those "NBA is FANTASTIC" commercials back in the 80's and there is that very famous shot by Bird where he's falling out of bounds and shoots it over the corner and makes it. That's the last time I saw anything like this. But this was from behind! They counted it. Check it out tonight!
I remember seeing that come into play in college basketball last year, but I don't remember it in the NBA. And I think I remember seeing several shots from behind the backboard in recent years..
You can't shoot it from out-of-bounds air space behind the backboard. You can shoot it from anywhere on the baseline and if it has to go over some part of the backboard/shot-clock, it's still legal. I believe that's the rule.

Thanks HK. So that counts right? Even though he shot it while going out of bounds? Amazing shot nonetheless.
These guys say it didn't count! [video=youtube;Ebx61XuFGX8]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ebx61XuFGX8[/video]
Why is that such a hard shot? It's the exact same shot as if he were in the key 3 feet from the rim and arched the ball super high. Big deal. I'm positive "The" HCP could make that shot.
This one counted! Guess they changed the rule! [video=youtube;_H3Jow4IAE4]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_H3Jow4IAE4&NR=1&feature=fvwp[/video]
Someone clearly dislikes Kobe. You try shooting it like that and not hit some part of the backboard or shot clock. Beyond that, he was being bumped (missed foul call) and falling out of bounds. Yea, good luck making that sir.
I have made some sick shots in my day, but during game action with a defender on you! That shit was amazing!
Call me a Kobe Hater. I think this was intentional. Up 27-10, beginning of a rout. Perfect time to try that shot you've been working on after practice. Look, Harden throws his arms up in the air and there is not much contact at all. Certainly not enough to push Kobe that far under the basket. Kobe flops back, probably figured that he'll try the circus shot and if it doesn't go in he'll get the foul called. Guy is such a show.
