The ball went through the hoop. The net pushed it back out, but it was valid dunk and the point should of been awarded.

How can a ball thrown down with that much force be pushed back up and out by the net???

Couldn't read the linked article - Paywall...

But this video has the slow motion. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zlAkIarPbzI

Looks like he dunked it at just the right angle for the net to slow it up as the net wrapped upwards around the rim. Pretty crazy, and the refs blew that call.

Jalen Rose had a great point yesterday - he said that if this can happen then the nets are too long.

If the ball was actually flipped up in front of the rim and rattled around and went through the hoop a second time, would it be counted as a 4 point dunk?

I’m willing to bet there isn’t a rule addressing this unlikely scenario.

it looked to me the ball went around the hoop on the way up (not through the hoop but around) but maybe just an optical illusion
