Very Strong Evidence That The Legendary Shots Faked At Least One of Their Baskets

I had seen some videos of the Legendary Shots and they seemed legit (as if you do something enough times, even low probability events become possible), so I checked them out further. In this video, I came across a trick shot that was obviously fake, as it defied the laws of physics. In Amazing Basketball Shots: The Legendary Shots 4 at point 2:28, without putting any spin on the ball, the Chicago Bears shirt wearer throws the ball in one direction, it hits a relatively flat service, and then it bounces back to him. As I was looking carefully, I realized a big detail that none of the 100,000+ viewers apparently picked up. The middle of the basketball pole is gone. You can clearly see the brick wall continue behind where the missing part of the pole is supposed to be. Here is the best evidence: the brick wall overlapping the ball:














It seems part of what they did was combine two different camera shots. One from the top and left and one from the bottom right. Notice how this ball properly blurs when in the bottom right area because of the speed it is traveling at (that is why you can see the brick within the ball area):














But when it is in between areas moving down at a fast rate it doesn't:














Also, notice the elongation of the ball as it travels upwards:













The first downward path seems to check out, but the upward path is fishy. It seems they digitally elongated the ball to make it appear to be going left and then shot a separate shot to change the angle of trajectory when the ball got back into the top camera view, which included digitally elongating the ball to sync it with the first shot. This is just a guess of how they faked this shot, but the lack of a middle of the pole shows the video has been altered without any likely motive besides tampering with the basketball shot itself.

  4. I recommend that you don't become a lawyer, first off. You misuse the word irrefutable. Lets give you a refresher course.

    irrefutable |ˌirəˈfyoōtəbəl; iˈrefyə-|
    adjective
    impossible to deny or disprove

    See, it's easy to disprove of your findings, it's easy to deny your statements. The burden of proof is on you. See I believe you photoshopped the pictures you used on your blog making you a liar and a fraud. See how easy it is to disprove your credibility. Again, don't become a lawyer.

    Next, even if they had faked this shot, it wouldn't matter. See you would have to prove that all of them are faked for anyone to care.

    Finally, you have wasted your time calling someone fake, this makes you the ultimate wannabe look you will never have a girlfriend, you are sad and lonely, stop trying to get with boys. So sad!
