ballhog apparently he put up that shot to get to the line. He got an and 1 instead. No whistle was heard though
I loved it when during the second half, Kobe made a sick fall away jumper (he was kinda behind the backboard when he let the ball loose) and then the commentator was like: well, that's like a lay-up for him (referring to the circus shot in the first quarter). Dno but I laughed.
i'm pretty sure it's still illegal to shoot over the backboard like that. http://www.boston.com/sports/basketball/celtics/extras/celtics_blog/2009/11/rondo_rules_bir.html
