Anybody have a look at the full court inbound pass.......

Unbelievable to even hit the glass at that angle! JW was barely 3ft from the baseline!

Very few players can hit the backboard or at a weird angle to the backboard.

Isn't there an camera angle down the sideline to prove he wasn't on the court? I assume there wasn't only one camera running on that last play...

The only other player I've ever seen hit that shot in game conditions is Larry Bird.

Yup that was a classic Larry Bird type shot.

That's what I thought! I have seen him shoot over the backboard and still make the shots.

That shot will go off the side of the backboard at least nine times out of ten.

And frequently from a better shooting angle.

You think Bird ever banked that one off the backboard?

So just to make sure I understand this correctly they're bitching because he "may have stepped on the court" and not because the ball traveled from end line to within a few feet of the other end line, while being redirected to the shooter and not one of them could get a hand on it to break the play up? Definitely sounds like a great argument.

Was that one a fan of birds or something? I doubt it.

Moot point because of 2 reasons...

1) If you look at the replay it's crystal clear he didn't.

2) The rules state that when inbounding you can step on but not over the line.

Agree with you 100% but why try to argue the technicality part? There's absolutely no reason that pass should have made it through. If they're going to be pissed be pissed at the fact that your players couldn't make the stop, not cry over whether or not his foot may have been over the line.
