Nothing about the ball not being live either. The ball is literally not in play until someone touches it, so it doesn’t matter that it’s above the rim when Ayton catches it. You get that, right? Ayton just happened to gain possession while the ball was above the rim. It’s not ball above rim first. It’s Ayton possession and then dunking it first.
