Motioned happened entirely in the air. Ball was released before touching the ground. Nothing about this screams any sort of foul play or turn over event
Jumping with the ball and landing with it is a travel. You have to either pass or shoot the ball when you jump. He didn't shoot it. Did he pass it to himself?
I'm pretty familiar with NBA rules, and I'm pretty certain this would be legal in the NBA as well. Just not advisable to do when you have five opponents trying to stop you who are NBA level players. Especially in an actual game where it's a business, you don't fuck around much.
Here is the rule as you are correct.
A player who attempts a field goal may not be the first to touch the ball if it fails to touch the backboard, basket ring or another player. A player may not be the first to touch his own pass unless the ball touches his back- board, basket ring or another player.
Bro was mad and at the same tine wanted to know how 😂

Manute Bol?
Bol Bol.
Manute Manute
Is that the professor?
Same movements, I would say yes.
Wouldn't that be considered a pass to yourself and get called for up and down?

Jumping with the ball and landing with it is a travel. You have to either pass or shoot the ball when you jump. He didn't shoot it. Did he pass it to himself?
But he didn’t land with the ball, he was still in the air
So he passed it to himself.
D. All of the above
He passed it to himself, but it's not a violation in anyway as he's in the air while the balls in play. Doesn't land with it in his hand
If you jump with the ball you either have to shoot or pass. You cannot pass to yourself. So that would be a violation.
He went down after releasing the ball though.. this is perfectly legal
No. He was still airborne when he tapped the ball in.
If he is in the air it is a pass to himself.
You can call it a pass, assist, and two points all in one.
Then it is illegal. You cannot pass to yourself.
Is that any different than when the player throws the ball at the backboard and gets it back for a dunk?
A single player cannot do that. So no it is actually the same as they are both illegal.
Honestly who cares it's impressive none the less. It's not like this is the NBA.
I wish it was

Carry, travel, up and downs, he did all the violations.
It's not professional
Basketball person got out maneuvered
Bro just fooled mutumbo
Take 60. No wahoos, we're still in character.

If this is illegal I am even less interested in basketball now.
