Actually the curved backboard intrigues me. Not that I belive the post in it's entirety, but it might have elements of truth.
If the curve of the backboard is a parabola, then any shots that hit it would be directed towards the focus of the parabola. That would be especially true of shots from between the two baskets. Many light sorces that direct the output of a bulb in a single direction use this principle. Not to mention gas lasers and hundreds of other devices. SO if the basket was located at the focus of the backboard, it would make it easier to hit it.
But the other problems that have been pointed out remain. Not the least of which is the hearsay nature of the post.
