I feel more humble than Dikembe Mutombo
After a stumble left him covered in a big pot o' gumbo.

He's no one. Just one of the best shot blockers in NBA history.

Ik this is probably a joke bit just in case you or somebody was curious blocking a shot on the rim/above the cylinder, the shot/layup already hit the backboard, or if the trajectory of shot or layup already reached it's apex and is on a downward trajectory goaltending is called

The last one can lead to some dicey calls but you clearly needs to get to the shot before it reaches the top of the rim or is layed off backboard

It's goaltending if the ball starts its descent or touches the backboard or rim first.

(when the Mayan apocalypse was supposed to happen)

It was a simpler time...

No, its goaltending if it HASNT touched the backboard or rim first. Goaltending is basically blocking a shot before you see if it was nothing but net. Youre not allowed to block those. The second it touches the backboard, it's basically a rebound.

Nah, if a ball is on the way up toward the rim, hits the backboard, and then it gets blocked, then it's goaltending. Also, if a ball is bouncing on the rim, but isn't obviously bouncing out and you block it, it's goaltending.

No, like if a player is shooting a bank shot or using the backboard for a layup, you are not allowed to touch it after it hits the backboard unless it very clearly has no chance to go in. And if the ball is touching the top/inner part of the rim (fine if it's clearly falling outside of the rim) or is within the imaginary cylinder above the rim, you're not allowed to touch it there (though this IS allowed in FIBA, but not the NBA/NCAA).

https://official.nba.com/rule-no-11-basket-interference-goaltending/
A Player Shall Not:
...
b. Touch any ball from within the playing area when it is above the basket ring and within the imaginary cylinder.
c. During a field goal attempt, touch a ball, which has a chance to score, after it has touched any part of the backboard above ring level, whether the ball is considered on its upward or downward flight.
d. During a field goal attempt, touch a ball, which has a chance to score, after it has touched the backboard below the ring level and while the ball is on its upward flight.

You are absolutely not allowed to reach into the net and pull out a ball just because it bounced off the rim.

I just saw it in one of the last few Lakers games lol. Can't remember if it was against the Grizzlies or GSW. I think it was Jarred Vanderbilt who tried to block a shot, but it had just barely touched the glass as he hit it, and it got called for goaltending.

Goaltending is called nearly every game I watch now. They even have replay challenges in the NBA now, similar to the NFL

The NBA completely allows Up & Down now & it annoys the shit out of me. Players take 3 steps, then a hop, then finally go up to shoot on drives to the rim all the time. Fucking garbage that should be 2 turnovers.

Lebrons crab dribble was not what you described at all lol. it was just an extra step after he gathered the ball

also the crab dribble is a real move. My coach taught it to me in HS.

The scenario you described doesnt happen regularly or at all.
