completelly fake, i just saw it several times, look from the first angle when u see him trow the ball, u can follow the ball up to second 9.5/10, them u cant see it until it passes the hoop at around second 11 or 12. Shame on espn for not noticing.
any time people react with that kind of overenthusiasm it is fake. Also the velocity required to throw it that far would make the ball bounce a lot higher when it hit the ground.
Fake? Answer this, if so, where did the ball come from to reach the basket? The angle looks right to be from the upper deck where it was thrown. And, who are these students? They should be given polygraphs and interviewed endlessly till we get the truth. Just accept it as the real deal and move on already.
The cut in shot is probably do to amateur video not the creating of a fake. It is not an impossible shot (just unlikely, but there is no telling how many times he tried) so therefor believable.
i get ur point but i still find it difficult to throw it from the second deck and hit the backboard, miss the rim entirely, just passing through the net, and the ball to land next to the base of the basket. i would have believe it more if after going in the basket it would have taken a bounce away from the base, or a least a lil higher into the air.
as i pointed out, after u cant see the ball for that second, it also appears the ball curves a little bit more toward the basket on the second shot. too convenient for me.
1. LONG?? only DOWN.. that isnt LONG..
2. There is a small BLIP in the first part..as the ball CURVES back..
3. HOW many shots did it take to catch it..Checking the wind, and so forth..
They have a web site called dudeperfect.com (or something like that) Where they post some other amazing shots. I expect it took a huge number of tries to get many of these, but I think they are real. They also have two cameras that run at the same time etc.
The web site does comment on whether it is real or not. Basically saying “Believe it or not”
this was on espn top plays this morning, even them didnt know if it was fake or real for sure

If its fake, all the students pictured are in on it. I for one think it is a real shot, a one-in-a-million basket, and is worth celebrating.

“World’s longest basketball shot, take one thousand three hundred thirty seven…”
Nothing to it. It may have taken a week or three of course and thousands of shots but sooner or later you should make one.
I don’t know if this was a fake or not. Even if you used a machine to make the throw wind drift means you could only be approximate.
Editing on the other hand is a sure thing.

I believe it’s real. It just took all day and 1000 shots. It’s like the coin bouncing video.
If it’s fake or took anywhere between 1 and 1000 takes it’s still pretty stupid. How come you humans get so excited about a ball going through a hoop?
One of our local TV stations analyzed the video frame by frame and they think it’s real. (WTVT-13 Tampa.)
I believe it.

As fake as this:
#14
They make amazing basketball shots for charity and jebus according to that website.
if this wasn’t fake you think they would have been trying this over and over and over with the tape rolling until he made the basket.
The guy who threw the ball didn’t look tired, and he introduces himself and says what he’s about all in one shot. Not possible.
so it’s fake.
It real. He made it on the first try!
I think it’s real. The way he spins the ball would lead to approximately that path.
They probably had 30 guys taking turns on this.
Early in the semester, jocks, southern school with strong athletics.
Why not? With multiple attempts and time on our hands we can accomplish great things.
What about the Labron James 60 minutes interview shot(better than full court)? Much less skilled people with a week on their hands could do this.
Sorry Lebron…
