Looks real to me.

 

[Jagger69]

Anything an Aggie claims to accomplish is probably bullshit. :1orglaugh

 

[Skyraider22]

It looks pretty real to me:thumbsup:

The real question is how many tries did it take to make the shot?I'll bet he was working on that shot for weeks.

 

[STDiva]

Fake

 

[BAYAMONXXX]

Super Fake

That's not fake guys. I was the basketball in that video... Fucking haterz.

 

[Hypergalaxy]

Hard to believe thats not fake but it looks real

 

[D-rock]

Considering it was shot from more than one angle, and how the ball smashes of the glass I would side more on it being real.

 

[BlueBalls]

Why not be honest and say .... hi we're [blah, blah, blah] and this is attempt #1359.

At that distance all you really have to do is throw the ball in the right direction and hope for the best. There's no skill involved.

That shot was just on sports center top plays. That vid is going to get millions of hits now

 

[DreamSparrow]

Hard to say. It's obviously not an impossible event, but it's also just a ball passing through open space - just as easy to make a very realistic looking edit of it on your home PC.

The little wiggle motion of the ball when it's coming down leads me to suspect it's fake. It'd have to be a pretty strong and sudden change of wind to alter its course in both directions like that when the forces of gravity and his throw are still affecting it.

ITs probably real but wasted a couple days trying it

 

[zimie]

looks fake

 

[Ace Bandage]

It looks fake, but apparently it was real. According to a news story on them, they tried the shot 231 times before getting it right. So it wasn't like this was their only attempt for the day; they had been working on it for awhile. Even if it took them that many tries, it's still pretty impressive.

 

[JacknCoke]

looks fake but who knows

 

[Bonezstorm]

I say it's a fake. Too bad I don't have slow-motion, but I always have a close eye at the moment when the ball leaves his hand when he throws it and it looks like an animation from up there

 

[JakeSnake]

Real.

 

[Spleen]

Not impossible, but like BlueBalls said, some honesty would make it more believable.

As for a guiness record of longest shot, I don't think it should really count seeing as the point he threw it was much higher up than the net. Still impressive though.
