faked 100% p[ositive not cuz its impossible but because the second view in slow motion it skips a huge portion of the original ball

 

[jclyde13]

definitely faked. if it was real obviously he wouldn't make it on his first try so he would have to stand there all day saying "welcome to aggie land this is the world's longest basketball shot" and throwing the ball over and over until he made it.

maybe this was like the 32nd try?
i posted this on AC... the guys reaction in the first vid is awesome.

 

[packer43064]

AM I crazy or in the second vid did the ball somehow shifted to the right to make the hoop.

 

[iloveoscars702]

^ yeah i saw that too, maybe he put spin on the ball making it curve a bit... but im iffy about this one, could be fake or real. if anyone's watched rob dyrdeks fantasy factory, you can see some basketball shots like this and they are real

 

[packer43064]

^^^^
I know nothing about basketball so maybe he did. IDK. I would be losing it if I was near that hoop though.Now that's how you get an adrenaline rush.

i wanted to say real until i watched the 2nd video. you see the ball's arc totally change direction in an unnatural way. granted, its possible that wind could move the ball like this, but it is unlikely since it was thrown with some force. I gotta say its fake. if it were real, wouldn't they have more people there to witness it and maybe even have guiness or ripley's there to document it?

maybe it is real, but i don't believe it yet

I would think he would have had to throw it much harder to actually get it there.
