    I don't know. It looks pretty genuine to me. The reverse angle seems to show a ball slam off the backboard as you would have expected. Come to think of it, I wonder if he called "off the board." :D

    I saw some signs a while back about "basketball at Kyle" but had no idea what it was.
    It might be real...

    In any case it wasn't me! :lol:

    It could be a function of how many times it was filmed, all they do is have to make one that way.
