Is it though? Isn't the final shape just a paraboloid, like a parabolic antenna with the hoop in the focal point?
- seaish 7y agoIt's optimizing for an average of shots from more or less arbitrary locations, so it's not necessarily a perfect parabaloid.
- 0-_-0 7y agoThe average of paraboloids is more or less a paraboloid too
- learnstats2 7y agoThe video justifies that it isn't: that paraboloids work to focus straight lines but not parabolic basketball trajectories.
