The first few shots, over the backboard, the kneeling 3-pointer, seemed plausible. Doubt crept in as the full-court jumpers swished in a little too easy. By the time Larry Bird and Michael Jordan started calling bank off the scoreboard and through windows, well, there wasn’t much question the shots were made in the editing room, not on the court. Denis Clemente’s shot, the one that generated 5,000 views in one day on YouTube? Believe it. Off the scoreboard, off the floor, nothing but net — all real. No director, no Big Mac on the line, no post-production splicing. Just two Kansas State players engaged in a game of H-O-R-S-E. “I just started laughing,” Kansas State coach Frank Martin said. “I couldn’t believe it. But, coming from him, I wasn’t surprised.”
