    What happens when rich kids get bored... Wonder how much videotape they used. It obviously took a lot of time. Id be more impressed by some amazing golf shots tho

    God, it may just be the fact that I really suck at basketball, but when those guys made some of those shots, they didn't even flinch a muscle in excitement... it's like... whatever.

    Someone's going to be famous one day tho.

    The video got old after the first 60 seconds, because it is just the same crap over and over at the same place. Maybe switch venues or something to show you just haven't practiced the same shots for 2 years in your driveway.

    10 bucks says that there was no wind and they simply used physics to make all those shots.

    Knowing physics doesn't make you throw a ball with accuracy

    You can just calculate the speed you need to throw it at and stuff, then just make a backwards formula from the ball hitting the backboard or falling at the right angle into the hoop. It'd take awhile but you just work backwards from the ball going in. It's possible I'm sure.

    because when you throw you can easily and accurately calculate the speed you are throwing at... I can buy the angles, but speed? no way

    Yeah I was thinking this too, but I'm sure with practice and a photogate you can learn to control the speed at which you throw something.

    They approached this much like billiards players approach pool...
    Once you have the angles down, the only hard part is speed and that is easily solved with several tries

    The only shot that impressed me was the behind the whole house shot...jesus christ...

    The one where they used two balls and one knocked the other in was pretty slick.
