The "Have Your Random NBA Question Answered" Thread

[benji]

Again, the odds against it are so astronomically high nobody will ever waste the time to think about it because it's not going to ever happen in a NBA game.

It's like asking, what happens if someone jumps from out of bounds the entire length of the court and dunks it, would they count it? Who knows? It's not going to happen.

If anything, the league would simply declare the location of the players feet at the start determine the value of the shot. Therefore your question is a two pointer, mine is an inbounding violation.

[gyezra]

just to answer that question they wont count it cuz he never stepped on the court cuz he jumped from out of bounds

[benji]

Which is what I said, but if he took one step inbounds and did the same thing it'd still be irrelevant because it's not going to happen.

[gyezra]

yeah ok thumbs up for the realism
okay now another question: whatever happened to isiah rider?

[benji]

Endless arrests. Kidnapping, assault, drugs, etc.

[gyezra]

How do three to four team trades work in terms of salaries?

Same rules as a two team trade.

[john26]

Which NBA team came up first with the idea of giving their crowd something after the game when they score 100+ points?

[JaoSming]

a pass off the glass, does it count as a rebound for the dunker or an assist to the player who passed off it?

[Martti.]

Blake got the assist tonight dishing it to Gasol. I'm guessing it's always like that, unless it's a brick jumper that doesn't touch the rim.

[rise]

If you bounce it off the glass to yourself, you don't get an assist do you?

[Andrew]

No, you don't.
