[johname]

"Dude Perfect" Throws a basketball off the 3rd floor of the Texas A&M's Football Stadium and banks it in. Is it real, sure looks like it.

looks real, doesn't look that hard either
if you gave me a bucket a balls and and afternoon, I could come pretty darn close too

You're CRAZY Loco, that guy is sooooo special, no one else on earth could ever do that. I bet pro ball scouts are chasing him around with those skills. I mean if he can hit the hoop from that far away, all the team has to do is hand him the ball from the other side of the court, and it's an instant three pointer!!!

But really, Loco pegged it, throw it enough times and it will go in once, then get everyone to run around screaming Oh my God. Three million views, now that's the incredible thing.

unbelievable i don't think so its real, need 100% accuracy to basket the ball for a very long distance

 

[KingDon]

I believe he really did make the shot, on a flat surface you can throw a basketball maybe 80 to 90 feet, but this guy is so high in the air, that as the ball is dropping, it is still moving/carrying out towards the field.

If you're standing on top of the grand canyon and throw a basketball towards a hoop set up at the bottom, and after 10,000 throws it finally goes into the hoop, because it fell 1/2 a mile, did you really throw a basketball a 1/2 mile?

You have to admit, it got millions of people watching and talking, and that makes it genius.

It's legit. A&M has even confirmed it on their website.

It's gotta be real. I mean even I could make that if I took enough shots.

 

[notlikeyou]

real
semi-flat basketball, (so it won't bounce off the rim & backboard as hard) an afternoon with your friends taking throw after throw
millions of viewers & 10 minutes of fame......priceless

I don't doubt it's real. As said before, try enough times, and you'll hit the target once. They sure do have a lot of time on their hands.

 

[dnb8]

Looks real but I'm curious how many times he tried before he did this

 

[kev]

heres what I think will happen

1) Gets 5,000,000 views and becomes viral
2) Some company says they did it as a promotional stunt and that it is indeed fake
3) News programmes will report the story and the company who produced it will get their publicity

:kickass:

I love all the people that think they could do it to with enough throws. I could easily see some one throwing from sun up to sun down and not make a single shot.

The throw does go horizontal enough to make alot more than a drop shot.

I like the idea of a low air pressure ball.

I was thinking too on ways to help increase the odds of making the basket. Not saying they did it but would be nothing to the most basic metal man to make a rim that was a inch or so wider. lol

We all know why "Dude Perfect" is a team of guys, it takes 6 guys to do this efficiently for 3-4 hours before the shot gets made. There is a guy in the stands haft way up, makes me believe they relayed the balls to the top. Maybe they used only one ball, but good they didnt show 30 balls laying all over the feild lol

The double camera shot was the key to this as far as believability

I am crazy about the basket ball,but i think that it is true.
