    I don't see how that's physically possible. All of that forward momentum had to go somewhere.

    Negated if it lands just right against the backboard. The energy is transmitted through the ball to the rim and the backboard. But it had to be absolutely perfect. Like, probably a 1 in a trillion shot.

    Theoretically, then, one out of every trillion (or more) times, when someone dribbles a basketball, it will stop dead on the floor. I know some floors have dead spots, but not backboards.

    If you could dribble one time per second for several billion-trillion years, theoretical physics says at one point the ball would actually go *through* the floor.

    Far more often, then (relatively speaking), the ball would become partially stuck in the floor. If just a fraction of a millimeter got stuck in the floor, it wouldn't bounce at all, right?

    Maybe that's what happened with this shot! Enough of the molecules of the ball got interlocked with the rim and backboard that the bouncing force of the ball that would normally cause the ball to go flying back instead got absorbed by the whole assembly. Then again, the ball wouldn't have come down nearly as easily as it did in that case.

    chances of this being a complete freak physical phenomenon = 1/1 trillion

    chances of this being proof NBA rims are rigged = 1/1 million

    you do the math
