Marlin Mason Goes Windmilling Under The Rim

Marlin Mason pulled off an under-the-rim windmill and just might have finished it off with the perfect shot.

I've done pretty extensive speculating research into this and, from what I can gather, this is the least amount of net movement possible under the laws of physics. In the second half of a 70-54 loss to Virginia, Cleveland State forward Marlin Mason went slashing to the rim down the baseline and when two extra defenders stepped in his path, he pulled off an under-the-rim windmill and flipped in the perfect shot. It's a great whirling mess of limbs and athleticism capped off by the cleanest finish possible according to me science.
