off the backboard is no longer legal (ones that tmac and vinsanity has done). they made it illegal after the two did it in consecutive all star games.
I dont know why off the backboard would be illegal, because technically you're getting an offensive rebound. I remember they took it away when Bob Sura threw it off the backboard to complete a triple double though
The off the back board always was legal and will still be legal...When the ball touches the board, it counts as a rebound...The only thing is that its not an assist to ourselves anymore...And that Steve Francis dunk was not legal, but its a Rookie game who cares :p
legal because he is in air when recovers ball

come on people this is a rookie game NOT the playoffs so the refs dont count it as a travel.

Illegal or not, this was a great dunk by Steve Francis. I never saw a player doing something like that in a game. Very hard to do it!
