In professional basketball, teams go into a bonus situation once an opponent’s team commits five fouls in a quarter. However, there is no 1-and-1 rule in the NBA. After the fifth foul, fouled players get two free throws.

a free-throw attempt will change for the 2008 season. The defensive player, who used to line up below the block, will be positioned above the block.

Fouling a shooter always results in two or three free throws being awarded the shooter, depending upon where he was when he shot. If he was beyond the three-point line, then he gets three shots. Other types of fouls do not result in free throws being awarded until a certain number have accumulated during a half.

The free throw shooter shall not purposely fake a free throw attempt. PENALTY: This is a violation by the shooter on all free throw attempts and a double violation should not be called if an opponent violates any free throw rules.

Can you dunk a free throw? No. Basketball players are not allowed to dunk a free-throw attempt. The free-throw shooter should not step over the plane of the free-throw line until the ball touches the rim, backboard, or until the free throw ends.

No, you can not dunk from the free-throw line because there are rules in place forbidding you to cross the free-throw line until the basketball hits the rim.

In all basketball leagues, a self-pass or self-alley-oop is illegal if it didn’t hit the backboard or the rim. You can’t pass the ball to yourself without hitting the backboard. So if you are going to make a self alley-oop, make sure you hit the backboard first.

LeBron received a pass in his own end, breezed right by four Denver players who apparently had no interest in defending him, going coast-to-coast with a grand total of two dribbles, and proceeded to dunk it from just in front of the free-throw line.

Michael Wilson is a former player of the Harlem Globetrotters, the Memphis Grizzles and the University of Memphis, also known as ‘Wild Thing’. Wilson, 6’5, holds the world record for the highest dunk.

A dunk would mean releasing the ball after touching the rim (which is considered within the two-point field goal area). However, a floater / layup could count as 3 points. This is definately a 3. The rule is that the foot closest to the basket when a player jumps determines the type of shot.

It is considered a type of field goal; if successful, it is worth two points.

If and when the dunk is attempted and completed within the “Dunking Zone” and/or it is completed over two or more opposing players in that specific area of the court, score it as four points.

In terms off dunking from the three point line. This is only counted as a three point shot if both of the players feet are behind the line before he takes off. If he is fouled in flight to the goal and finishes the dunk, he will be awarded a 4 point play opportunity becuase he was fouled on a 3 point attempt.

In basketball, a field goal is a basket scored on any shot or tap other than a free throw, worth two or three points depending on the distance of the attempt from the basket. One type of field goal is called a slam dunk.

Yes! Many often wonder can you attempt a layup from the three-point line and would it count as three points?. We often see a player like Giannis Antetokounmpo steal the ball at halfcourt and takes one or two steps to get to the rim with only one dribble.

Your feet must be completely behind the three-point line before you shoot. If your toe touches the line as you jump, for example, the shot is only worth two points. If you’re behind the line when you jump, but land on the line after you release the ball, a successful shot is worth three points.
