Now all we need is a guy that can jump 22' and stay high enough to be able to dunk it.
For the record, the rule actually states "One foot must be behind the three-point line, and the other foot must not be in front of the line".

c. Outside or inside the three-point line with at least one foot in contact with the playing floor behind the line and the other foot not contacting the line or the playing floor in front of the line.
