It was kind of fun to watch. But did he make the shot on the first, second, or 8,273rd take? That is the part we don't know. If you spend enough time with any of the shots to lern to get it in the general area, and then do it a thousand times, sooner or later one will fall in the hoop.

Pretty cool but I'm feelin a fake vibe. Some of those shots would take rediculous strength. The video quality wasn't that great but i thought I saw some areas where it looked like he had done some post production work with some kind of cloning/blurring tools. Either way it was good enough that you just don't know..props for him getting his 15 minutes. Isn't the internet great!

I'd definitely say fake. Some of the shots would require ridiculous strength (try throwing a ball half-court behind your back) and he doesn't look that ripped :). Also many of the shots seem to change trajectory in mid-air.

why would these be fake? most of the non full court shots aren't that difficult, just might take 100s of takes. it would seem faking the shots would take more effort than to keep shooting until you make one

The guy who filmed it said the last shot went in on the 14th shot for what thats worth.

Video editing software has come along way and this stuff wouldn't be that hard, especially considering the quality of the video, which was not good. People do all kinds of things for fame and notoriety. Any image or video on the web could be fake. A good photoshop by a talented production person would be very hard to decipher as fake.
