Watch: Should this Ja Morant missed dunk have counted?

While according to the letter of the law, the basket rightly should not have counted but it did prompt some interesting online debate about what constitutes a made bucket in those situations.

Upon slow motion replay, it appears as if the ball fully clears the rim before bouncing off Morant's head and exiting back the way it came.

Either way, Morant potentially could've been called for offensive basket interference for hanging on the rim as the ball was passing through the hoop. It's rarely called in a dunk situation but this was weird enough to potentially qualify. Ultimately it did not.

The play was not reviewed, nor is it clear if it was even reviewable, but the unfortunate bounce made for a wild moment in an already close game.
