Probably no. If you shoot it OVER the rim and it hits nothing, it will go out of bounds and be awarded to the other team.
If the shot is from the corner, a team mate could get a rebound and pass it back.
So, possibly, but not likely.
AnswerNo, that would be considered travelling.Well think about this if you shoot the ball over the backboard it will likely go out of court and tha ball will be awarded to the other team. but also even if you did shoot the ball over the backboard it is called a voilation of the rules so the other team will get the ball so most likely the other team will get the basketball even if the same team catches the ball
What would happen if a player fielded the ball with his cap?
Sure, as long as he keeps it in his hand while fielding the ball.
Rule 7.05 states:

(b) Three bases, if a fielder deliberately touches a fair ball with his cap, mask or any part of his uniform detached from its proper place on his person
(d) Two bases, if a fielder deliberately touches a thrown ball with his cap, mask or any part of his uniform detached from its proper place on his person

Was it ever legal to dunk a ball from the free throw line in the NBA?
It has and always will be legal to dunk from the free throw line. No one has ever attempted to do so in a non NBA dunk contest, as the odds of doing so with about 7 people in the way is very unlikely. Most people get a head start, as well, and there is little chance of that happening in an NBA game.
What is a clear path foul in the NBA?
It's when a team goes on the fast-break, and a defender BEHIND the offensive player with the ball fouls him before he can get to the basket. The player gets 2 free throws and his team also retains the ball.
This rule is implemented because:
A) The team would've almost certainly had two points had the defender not fouled from behind.
B) Often the foul is out of frustration and commonly leads to injury, so the league wants to discourage it.
