Midcourt Shot - Guy Goes Back To the Basket

[Aloysius]

Last night at the Clippers-Heat game a fat Chinese guy was the contestant for the Half Time truck giveaway. If you make a midcourt shot (you get one chance), you win the truck. Ala Niles on Frasier.

To our amazement, guy stands BACK-TO-THE-BASKET, heaves the ball flinging it over his head (of course he can't see the basket) - banked right in. Also the loudest I've ever heard Staples in my life.

Question - is this actually not a bad approach? With enough practice, if you get point of release down, could this be one of the better ways to go about making this shot?

Curiously,
