What is the white rectangle on the basketball backboard? Why is it there? Some rule associated with it? Or just for aiming?

Just for aiming the ball for a bank shot.

Just for aiming for those of us who still use the backboard for shooting.

simply for aiming, that's all, and really only for aiming layups, bank shots have nothing to do with the rectangle and all with a shooter's feel.

It helps when you're aiming. Like when you do a lay-up, you aim at the corner.
