[Gutter92]

I still can't get over the fact that we lost in 06 we were up 2-0 Dwyane Wade tore us a new one having 0 rings sucks!

I feel ya man, we're only 4 rings apart.

bump for obstructed view and philip.

rules are rules? clearly stated? so why wasn't kobe given a missed fga and a rebound on the play? why does NBA.com highlight kobe's self pass? is the self pass legal or not? the rules say nothing of a pass, they talk about a FGA. why was bob sura's layup off the backboard for a rebound removed from the record books (deemed not an FGA), but when a player whips it of the backboard for a dunk/jumper there is not only no rectification, but a highlight of the great play?

thanks in advance for taking the time to answer

may God help you in your search for answers to these mythical questions

Yes. It's a missed FG and a made FG (assuming they make the second).

Kobe just missed a FG, got an offensive rebound and made the FG.

It's a shot and offensive rebound. It's what it's scored as. It's what it is. Yes, it's a pass in reality, but technically, it's a FG attempt that meets all the criteria for a shot attempt, and is rebounded.

You could have checked the box-score first, tbh.

It's up to the scorekeeper to award them the rebound or the field goal attempt, and I wouldn't reward them with a field goal attempt or a rebound on that play unless the league said I was required to. There's nothing I've been able to see in the rules that clearly states that it's illegal.

What Bob Sura layup? Was it a lame attempt to get a rebound? As I said, I wouldn't award someone a rebound on a play like that. If the NBA wants to make that play illegal I have no problem with it, but they haven't, so it was a good play by Kobe.

was it counted as a miss and a make in the box score? i doubt it

No, it was counted as an assist and a basket dip .

[Obstructed_View]

I doubt it's counted as an assist. It's likely counted as a single made shot attempt.

The backboard pass was a historical Spur innovation as a way to get the ball to Billy Paultz.

Scorers make mistakes -- or, in the case of the Jazz' home official scorer, conduct a long-term, orchestrated campaign to stretch the definition of certain plays -- so I wouldn't use the box score as the Bible in settling this matter.

No, it was counted as an assist and a basket dip .

How is it an assist if you get the ball to yourself, dumb Laker .

No assist or Rebound, only a field goal attempt. No difference to an off the backboard slamdunk. No assist, NO rebound or No extra points for the degree of difficulty, Just a field goal!

I saw Isaiah Thomas, in an all star game, take a running shot, catch it while he was still in the air, and shot it again and make it...it was spectacular. He basically tried to shot over a tall player, which left the shot way short....but as the defender flew by after attempting the block, Isaiah caught the shot and shot it again before touching the ground.

That is the only time I have ever seen it. I am sure it has happened before or since, but I do not watch every moment of every NBA game.

there has to be a rebound....

if you get to a missed FG, that is called a rebound.

So if you miss a shot, get the ball back and put it in the bucket...you get a missed FG, a rebound (offensive), and a made FG.

Would you count a rebound on the off the backboard dunk? How about the bounce the ball off your opponents body inbound play, Would you also count an assist? .
