From the front, it is very difficult (though doable--just have to jump about a 4" gap). From the alley side of the court, it carries a risk of penalties, though it's quite doable. From the other side, however, there's plenty of room to make a 2-pointer without risk of penalties. The math works out such that a 14" appendage could half-cover the near 2-point basket at full extension.
