Basketball has become a worldwide sport but not all leagues have the same rules as the NBA. In fact this rule is the weirdest one I’ve ever seen.
During the final second of the Liga Sudamericana Game between Aguada and Limeira, a player of Aguada made an intentional own basket trying to force the game to the overtime with his team up by 2.
Aguada had to win by 5 to pass the round. The team was leading by 4 with less than 3 seconds on the buzzer when two free throws made by a player of Limeira cut Aguada’s lead to 2 points.
The referees did not count the basket because it is prohibited by the rules. Aguada won 74-72 but did not advance to next round.
