    I am sure those kid's mothers down in Hoover weren't too happy to see their homes used as backboards :) Hopefully the short celebrity (and paycheck) will keep them from trouble.

    :D

    Very cool. I've seen the Hampton Inn ad and wondered about it. Thanks for posting this.

    That's pretty amazing. I wonder how long they have to work on each shot before they get one to go.

    Terry,

    I believe the article stated that they had been filming these shots over 3 years. Those kids had probably been 'measuring up' mom's roof for God knows how long before they found the right angle. :D

    Some of those balls have some pretty good bounce to them.

    Remembering my old "driveway" basketballs, you could fling them to the asphalt as hard as you could, and mebbe get a bounce up to your chest.
