Video taking off 13x its usual first day

Noah Penda's dunk goes in, then his head sends it back

NBA Europe's fast-starting highlight ends with the points taken away and viewers questioning the basket interference call.

Why this story? The video opened at a pace of 40,507 views a day, 13 times a normal first day on this channel (3,182).

The commentator has already announced that Noah Penda has slammed it home. Then the ball changes direction.

Orlando's Penda steals possession, runs ahead of the defense and rises for a two-handed dunk. The ball drops through the net, hits his head and pops back up through the rim. Slow-motion replays show the improbable return trip from several angles.

The finish becomes a basket interference call, with the commentators reporting that the points are coming off the board. "Take that off the board," one says, a very different conclusion from the confident call seconds earlier.

NBA Europe's Short drew about 35,000 views in its first seventeen hours, already far beyond the channel's usual full first-day audience for the format.

In the comments, viewers are concentrating on the ball's first journey through the hoop. Several argue that clearing the rim should have settled the basket; another questions whether interference was really the call. The replay makes the strange bounce easy to see, but it has not settled that rules discussion.
