Why Purdue Fort Wayne/Youngstown highlights? I've seen this done in dunk contests but never in a game.
Just watch from 0:55 until 1:00 marks.

It's a helluva athletic move considering the distance he threw it. He tossed it from the 3 point line.
)Seen it happen a few times in NBA. Especially with all the steps they get and how big those guys are - sometimes it looks even like a ho-hum kinda dunk.
But Vince Carter did this in a game way back in the day. Kobe has done it. Lebron. Many others.
Edit: Its way more prevalent than you think. Look up "self pass off backboard" on youtube. Kobe has a 3 min montage of all the different ones he did - some pretty creative stuff.

throwing it up for yourself is different than a backboard-alley-oop to someone else.. OH.. THAT WAS TO HIMSELF
The athleticism is what's most impressive. Guys here are talking about Carter, Kobe and Lebron. This kid plays for Purdue Fort Wayne!!!!!
This is the first person I ever saw do that, when I was about 10 years old.

I saw this live at a high school game in about 1992. My school, Highland, vs Camden. Greg Barr scored 94 in the game. His teammate, who had about 35, did this. I this Camden won by about 90. Something like 160-70.
