  It didn't defy physics because that would be impossible(unless it a new force
  which we don't know). With the millions upon millions of free throws shot
  annually at least a few have probably given some strange results. I was a game
  where after a poorly placed shot the ball rolled back and forth on the top of
  the backboard. It was surreal. But again..not impossible.

  I'm not sure that a headline containing a tiny bit of hyperbole required a
  semantics lesson. We all know that the laws of physics are safe and in tact.

  He was just quoting the wired article which did indeed question the laws of
  physics.
