Isn't this from http://www.pumpupthemovie.com?

And is it real or shopped?

I can't remember who sent me the clip, and where I read it was shopped, but they positively showed that it was shopped.

You can approximately frame-by-frame (pause and start moving the little square on the progress bar) it at the pumpupthemovie site and that there are only 3 frames where the girl is in the vicinity of the hoop, and in one of them, thanks to compression, it's too blurry to see the hoop, but pretty apparent that she would've hit it, had it been their.

Plus, the net could easily catch on feet or hands, making this sort of thing a career-ender for an actual cheerleader. Start the clock--how long until someone makes the news with an injury, trying to replicate this stunt?

It's what George Tennet would call a slam dunk.
