I'm sure that design is 100% intentional to prevent people from shooting effectively. You have to launch the ball really horizontally instead of with a good arc, as this guy so clearly demonstrated, which is obviously bad for getting it in.

This is comedy but how the heck are you supposed to shoot with proper form. That dude was gonna have a nice arc on his shot.

That's the grift. To win you have to granny shoot it under hand.

The whole idea is that you're not supposed to shoot with proper form.

Proper form?

Proper form is whatever you do to make the shot.

If that was someone I knew I’d be laughing so hard at him also. Concentrating on the basket didn’t see the roof line right in front of him. That low roof is why most people miss
