This incredible three-quarter court flip shot by Brecksville-Broadview Heights Middle School's Aaron Shutway needs to be seen to be believed ... and even then I'm sure angry, bitter people will cry that the ball is computer generated. To which I say, easy there Michael Bay. It sure looks legit. But have a look and decide for yourself.

I think that’s travelling.

Why does the ball immediately disappear once it goes through the net? This is obviously fake.

If you watch the ball in the slow mo part you can see it bouncing under the basket. It is close to the same color as the mat on the wall.

[FlJoePa]

You’re right...my apologies

After shot, ball on floor on left

No problem. That kid is going to be telling his great grandkids about that shot!

[Grammy]

Thanks. That makes it clear.
