GoPro Gets Stuck In Hoop

The GoPro camera is one of the great innovations of modern life. Never before have we had the ability to capture moments allowed to us by this newfound technology. The limitations that existed with the old, bulky VHS camcorders to even the newer lightweight ones and cameras on smartphones simply made it impossible to get the kinds of exciting shots you’ll find in this clip. The Coen Brothers were able to show us a point of view shot for a bowling ball in the cult classic The Big Lebowski, while here this young boy gives us some insight into what a basketball might see.

A boy gets his basketball stuck in the hoop. He figures there’s only one way to get it down.

This starts out pretty innocuously: just a boy recording himself shooting hoops at the local school court. Anyone who’s ever played at their local municipal court sometimes knows there are flaws in their equipment. In this case, the regulation basketball gets wedged in one of the nets.
