👉 Basketball missiles, also known as "basket bomb" or "shooting stars," are a humorous and exaggerated term for a type of offensive play in basketball where a player uses a basketball as a makeshift weapon to try and score. The concept involves the player dribbling or throwing the basketball towards the basket, often with a surprising or comical twist, such as hitting it with a surprising force or using it to distract defenders. This play is typically considered unconventional and not a standard strategy, but it adds an element of creativity and humor to the game, often seen in comedic sports parodies or fan fiction.
