What does s/he think with practicing these shots? Those I've talked to say there are so many differences from actual basketball (ball size and density, etc) that it's less than helpful. This was also the case in 2006 and even 2009. If you can make them, more power to you. For the rest of us, I'm willing to bet that most big end game climaxes will come from (triple) robot balancing.

Edit: Mathking and Eric, good point. This actually seems more realistic (albeit as far as this goes)

I used to play basketball with him during our freshman year, and I would remember us attempting to make 1/2 or even 3/4 court shots. I of course couldn't make it, for I wasn't good with throwing with one hand, but I am sure he did...

But even with that, I would be so ready to hear the teams go "OOOOOHHHHH" over the triple robot balances!!!!!
