What part of "(9) Ball passing directly behind backboard " do you not understand?

 

This part.

 

From another thread

 

Peja's shot is clear as day that those are made a lot of the time, by plenty of players and are clearly considered legal by the new rule.

Gay and Kobe's shots are close and hard to tell if they pass the line where the shot becomes illegal.

They might be passing through the "funnel" but it's hard to tell without an angle from the opposite end of the court, preferrably with the camera mounted at backboard level height, but even from the ground it would give a better view that all the other camera shots we've gotten.

I'm leaning towards Kobe's shot is actually legal, but barely. The opposite court perspective though would make it clear as day though.
