That might be the greatest shot I've ever seen

[HurricaneDij39]

I've followed this game for a long time, but this shit is fucking crazy.

For literally every other player, it's a terrible shot, but for Dame...

It's clutch. That had to be close to 40 feet.

NBA or College? If we're expanding it out, Laettner's shot is probably tops

I'm not sure I've ever seen Terry Stotts smile...That alone says something.

I’ll go on a limb and say his buzzer beater 5 years ago to eliminate the rockets was bigger. A miss and blazers lose. In this game, worst case scenario for a miss was overtime.

I get it from a fan's perspective, but to me the degree of difficulty makes this one #1. Sean Elliott's Memorial Day Miracle is right up there as well...

You know, I'm not normally one to get on a player for failing to tightly contest a low percentage attempt, but George could have come up on him more once there was less than 3 seconds left. That is just what my honest initial impression was.

Pretty sure it was from the 15th row. lol

What about Steph?

 

[tducey]

It was a great shot for sure. Lillard's 1 amazing player.

Still the greatest shot ever, NBA wise.

To win a series against what was really a superior opponent on the road, thoroughly contested by a great defensive effort, and if it misses they go home.

I actually watched on TV live. That's what an old fart I am.

This shot pretty much cost the Kings an NBA championship...

Nah it was a free throw that he made look way more difficult than it was. Great shot but far from the best

Great shot, meaningful shot. I actually watched it live too although I was pretty young.

Sorry though. Not even Jordan's greatest shot. That would be the Byron Russel shot to win game 6 against the Jazz in '98.

 

[Sparhawk]

Laetner winning the game at one of the highest levels and finishing perfect from the floor.

 

[lebron23james]

Kyrie Irving game 7 on the road in Currys face is far better...And a much more important moment imho

 

[TurnUpTheHeat]

I think it was actually poor shot selection, with a great result if you are a Blazers fan.

I don't count the Byron Russel one because I really never thought the Jazz had a chance to win the series.

Plus didn't he kinda push off?

Remove the kinda.

This one should actually be way up there, but doesn't feel that way because it wasn't the last shot of the game

Yep.
They'd have called that foul today.
