Shots are real, I do this kind of crap all the time with my cousin. It takes 20-50 tries to get a shot to go in, but you slowly get closer and closer as you get a feel for what you need to do. The baseball Pass off the backboard was the only one I was pretty impress with. They should've done some over the house, that's what we do a lot is shoot over my grandma's house.
My biggest claim to fame was I shot about 75 feet from a basket, behind it about 10 feet below the bottom of the goal (so about 20 feet below the rim) I was swimming at a party at my parents house, and someone missed a shot, and it rolled down the hill to me. I pick it up, and shoot it, and it swishes. Still no idea how it got in. Pretty much just threw it up and somehow went in. Still talk about that shot, and every one goes crazy over it.
Also shot a ball from across an Olympic size pool, but it was a little bigger hoop, and It wasn't a regulation ball. It was still about 160 feet though, talk about that one too, even though it happened about 4 years ago.
