College Hooper Had one Of the Best Alley Oops Off the Backboard Of All Time

There are a lot of exciting plays that can happen on a basketball court.  One of the most electric, and toughest to pull off, is the famed alley oop to yourself.  Now there’s a few ways to do it, you can bounce it to yourself and finish at the rim.  Or you could just throw the basketball off the backboard and throw it down.

We’ve seen this before.  LeBron had a memorable finish back in 2018 in the Finals.

Now this wasn’t on a stage as great as that however, Demetric Horton still had the balls to go for the legendary play off the backboard and his teammates went absolutely crazy.

The angle on the pass was pretty impressive.

The finish wasn’t that crazy, but the speed of the pass, and the angle makes this one of the cooler self alley oops I’ve seen in a while.

How can you not love basketball?
