    The ball bounced off of you. You never had control of where it was going. Like the question said, he intentionally hit the ball back into play, then tried to come back and get it without someone else touching it first. That is illegal.

    Behad owned or uh, pwned joo guyz.



    You straight up, cannot be the first to touch it after coming back inbounds.

    I think they might call it in and out.

    I remember this play as well. It was replayed many times in fact.

    From what i learned the definition of a team rebound is something like.

    the other team takes a shot and the ball goes over the basket after hitting the rim and goes out of bounds. Technically there was a rebound after the shot but no one actually got it. So therefore the statistic goes to your team rebounds since you do get the ball after that position.

    Im sure Behad can bring it into more technical terms then i did but that is the gist of it.

    What about a missed front end of 2 foul shots?
    I am not 100% sure but I think I've seen it credited as a team rebound too.
    There is some rule calling for a rebound after every shot (including FTs) so they can balance the book.

    speaking of self passing, i'm sure all of you remember the famous francis dunk where he threw the ball in the air and caught it himself. why was that legal?

    Are you talking about the game against Vancouver, where he threw it off the backboard, and then caught it, and then dunked it or shot it or layed it up.

    I guess cause it was a "shot attempt." It went off the backboard, got the rebound, and shot it again.

    In the playoffs, Marcus Camby threw the ball in the air on the fastbreak, caught it in midair and jammed it(prompting the announcers to cringe at the flashiness in such a serious game) but nothing was called. Is there a rule against that in the rulebook? I've seen Eddie Robinson do this too.

    Was it the one where he threw it up under armed? I think it's because he never landed with the ball in his hand. Kind of like you can take three steps, but only in the act of shooting.

    No wonder we got so many travelling violations called on us.

    yes, this is the one. well, if he dunked it then the ball had to land in his hands, right? he threw it in the air while still on the ground. then, he jumped up, grabbed the ball, and dunked it. wouldn't that be the definition of self pass? sort of a mini alley-hoop to himself.

    as long as you simply take two steps, throw it up, jump and catch it and slam it, i don't see how they could call you for travelling. now if you threw it up then ran after it while taking a bunch of steps, but what steve and other do is simply toss it up as they finish their steps then jump and dunk it. nothing wrong with that.

    hmm, interesting. just seems contradictory that you're allowed to give up possession of the ball and regain it later just b/c your feet are still off the ground.

    3 steps in the act of shooting? that is just applicable to NBA right?

    international rulings, even in the act of shooting, u can only take 2 steps.... no?
