"Dude Perfect" World's longest basketball shot

submitted by justathinker
1 decade 5 years 2 months ago

There is a video circulating right now in which a guy tosses a basketball from the third deck of an 82,000-seat football stadium down to the playing field and right into the hoop.

Fake, right? Any Web-savvy person would come to that conclusion before even watching the tape. But so far the latest exploit of "Dude Perfect," a collective of six Texas A&M students who film themselves making amazing basketball shots, has baffled video experts, who can find no evidence of edits. This isn't the first time "Dude Perfect" has achieved notoriety. Earlier this year their trick-shot-making skills were featured on "Good Morning America."

Moving this video to justathinker's personal queue. It failed to receive enough votes to get sifted up to the front page within 2 days.

You should playlist this alongside the alternate angle.

I'm willing to say it seems real. The angle from the basketball hoop is more convincing, imo.

I'd say it's real. As long as your willing to take the time to tape several attempts this is easily possible. Heck, kids in grade 7&8 don't need very many tries to hit a half court shot or two(as in if they try for 30 minutes they'll probably sink more than one).

Their channel is pretty chop full of awesome shots!

Worth checking out.

Quite convincing but it could just be an illusion. Either way a basketball shooting aid should help you achieve the perfect shooting angle.
