Steff Posted February 1, 2005 Share Posted February 1, 2005 QUOTE(LosMediasBlancas @ Feb 1, 2005 -> 04:34 PM) In most cases, a woman's hips are the widest part of her body. She could have 36 inch hips. Too close to risk it, fake. I think at her age (guessing late teens so I assume no kids yet) her shoulders would still be the widest. But she's no where near 36 inches anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WHarris1 Posted February 1, 2005 Share Posted February 1, 2005 I say they did a damn good job just by sparking a long conversion on fake/real. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AssHatSoxFan Posted February 1, 2005 Share Posted February 1, 2005 QUOTE(Gene Honda Civic @ Feb 1, 2005 -> 05:09 PM) The Hoop is an 18 inch diameter... I don't think she wears a 36" waistband, so in theory she could fit. 18" diameter means 18 inches ACROSS not 36 unless you meant radius then it would be 36" across not 18 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WilliamTell Posted February 1, 2005 Share Posted February 1, 2005 I was able to freeze it by holding the X on the close button. It looks like her legs do go through, I wish it would've let me paste it though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LosMediasBlancas Posted February 1, 2005 Share Posted February 1, 2005 My co-worker who is rail thin (110 lbs.) just told me her hips are a 34. Even if the girl is a 32, it's still too tight to risk it.

It's simple math, or clothing construction. You need a front and a back to the pants. Edited February 1, 2005 by Gene Honda Civic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texsox Posted February 1, 2005 Share Posted February 1, 2005 I remember in 8th grade fitting a kid through the hoop, without a net. We were screwing around after practice with one of the adjustable poles and put him up through, the reverse would be slightly hard with the arms.

SoxFan1 Posted February 1, 2005 Share Posted February 1, 2005 It's real...vindication? Go to stupidvideos.com and #7 to the left is "Basketgirl". Click on that one and watch the video...it des it in slow motion so you can see how she goes through. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buehrle>Wood Posted February 1, 2005 Share Posted February 1, 2005 This was made for a movie promotion(a cheerleading comedy, I believe), so they obviously have the best edit guys in the world. They could easily do this without any flaws. I'm giving it a fake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KipWellsFan Posted February 2, 2005 Share Posted February 2, 2005 QUOTE(Texsox @ Feb 1, 2005 -> 04:32 PM) Fake, her hands would have hung in the net. Looking at the GIF confirms it to me. But excellent work by whomever Umm I'm not sure what you mean about her hands but if you look closely at her hands as she passes through it appears as though it rips some of the mesh off.

danman31 Posted February 2, 2005 Share Posted February 2, 2005 If you look at the slomo her color is off. She looks too defined while the basket is clearly blurred. Basically what I'm trying to say is that the lighting in the room she is in when they filmed this for the faking is much different from the lighting of the gym. She is too bright.

qwerty Posted February 2, 2005 Share Posted February 2, 2005 QUOTE(LosMediasBlancas @ Feb 1, 2005 -> 03:54 PM) No hoop I ever played on was that wide. I remeber our coach would use this ring which sat on the inside of the rim which made it even smaller, but now way would 2 balls get through. If that's regulation size, than guys should be shooting like 80% from the field. I didn't read the rest of the thread yet but it is fact that two regulation basketballs can fit side by side in a rim. I will look for an actual article on it but on here it is seventh from the bottom on the person's list. http://www.snopes.com/message/ultimatebb.p...000418/p/1.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

3E8 Posted February 2, 2005 Share Posted February 2, 2005 I read that the diameter of a correctly inflated basketball is 9.5". If that is indeed true, it would squash the two basketballs at one time theory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
