Does that count as an assist?

We went like this, he went like that. I say to Hollywood: Where'd he go? Hollywood says: where'd who go?

the backboard lights up right when he dunks it. Its too bad we cant see the clock, I bet there was only like .1 or .2 left on it. I wonder if it was reviewed by the refs? It musta been, because the shot counted. Boy it was closer than close.

I think for dunks the rule is that the ball has to be more than halfway past the iron.

Clock

When the clock above the backboard changes to 0.1, his arm is still extended high above the basket. The clock changes to 0.0 when the ball is in the net. I’d estimate the center crosses the plane at about 0.03 seconds.

they did review it, and it was ridiculously close.

I don't think there was any way to argue it one way or the other

They just gave Marty the benefit of the doubt. And made for an excellent SportsCenter highlight I bet!

Blazers win!

wow .. the light went on as the ball was going down

How many frames apart was that?

by jayfisher on Nov 8, 2009 1:38 AM PST up reply actions 0 recs

It actually took about 3 frames for the light to come on.

It comes on kind of gradually. The second picture is two frames after the first picture. The frame in between has just a hint of red light. The frame after has an even stronger red light.
