YB asked us to submit a few questions for the athletes/celebrities at the Super Bowl, and Alana G picked a couple to ask at the 4:58 mark.
Check out Antonio McDyess’s tip-in at the buzzer to beat the Lakers last night at Staples Center.
Was it goaltending? Lakers fans think so, but a quick read of the NBA’s goaltending rules leads me to believe that it wasn’t:
Section I-A Player Shall Not:
a. Touch the ball or the basket ring when the ball is using the basket ring as its lower base.
EXCEPTION: If a player near his own basket has his hand legally in contact with the ball, it is not a violation if his contact with the ball continues after the ball enters the cylinder, or if, in such action, he touches the basket.
b. Touch the ball when it is above the basket ring and within the imaginary cylinder.
c. For goaltending to occur, the ball, in the judgment of the official, must have a chance to score.
The view from the side shows that the ball was coming off, but I think it was still in the imaginary cylinder when McDyess’s hand touched it. However, as part “c.” states, if the official did not think it had a chance to score (which it didn’t), then it cannot be goaltending. This appears to supersede the fact that the ball may have been in the cylinder.
Spurs win.
Alana G of Yardbarker had a chance to ask some of the Steelers a few goofy questions at the Super Bowl’s media day. There was quite the debate about what a player should do when he has to pee during a game.
Good find by Kegs & Eggs. Apparently, Rodriguez was told he could leave the set during the Hoke interview but he declined. The interview wasn’t overtly awkward, but it was fairly obvious that Rodriguez wasn’t too pleased about sitting there.
