Is the alley-oop overrated?

Alright, hear me out. Everyone loses their mind over a perfectly executed alley-oop, right? But honestly, half the time it's just a glorified layup with extra steps and way too much risk. Like, yeah, it looks cool when it works, but how many possessions get absolutely butchered because someone thought they were Shaq and Magic at the same time? It feels like teams go for it just for the highlight reel instead of getting an easy two. Discuss, but keep the tears to a minimum if your favorite team specializes in bricking these. 🙏🏀
