it's up there but recency bias is also doing some heavy lifting here

[Andalusian girls]

an all time shot but tie game 53 seconds left idk

if it had been a buzzer beater and /or a make it or lose most def

game 7 Finals does a lot of heavy lifting but the shot didn't decide the game still needed two defensive stops + Bron's free throw which made it a two possession game

Look hate the Lakers or not, Derek Fisher's .4 second shot is criminally underrepresented in these lists

which sport is better for throwing up weird random stat lines, basketball or baseball

[Andalusian girls]

baseball ushered in the fuckin math nerds revolution and has more history but basketball virgins doing their best in recent years to close the gap

i prefer Horry's 3 against the Kings down 2 because the sequence leading up to it was so nuts but aye, that was a fantastic one. Timmy hit an absolutely insane shot before that to go up 1 then lil ol Fish flares in cuz Kobe is doubled and bang

both go down a lil because they were game 5's not series deciding but still

[Andalusian girls]

we really just need someone to hit a go ahead buzzer beater in a Finals game 7 then boom no more debate

Ray Allen's 3 for the Heat was insane

but it was to tie

a game 6

[archibaldcrane]

try as you might, nothing you say could ever match baseball's inane convolutions when it comes to stats

[kisada]

BUT THAT DOESNT MEAN I WANT YOU TO TRY

[Krandor]

Baseball is so much easier to math out due to much of the game being directly based on pitcher vs batter, and individual defense being easier to quantify since everyone (shift notwithstanding) is locked into specific portions of the field. Too much variance in every other sport.

it was insane - tops Kyrie's imo, a heroic game 7 moment yet an isolated jump shot from the right side. Allen's shot took team play with the rebound and kickout and an incredible level of precision footwork and court awareness in a more hurried and frantic moment with <10 seconds to elimination. the Heat were closer to elimination than Kyrie's Cavs; desperation wasn't really a big part of Irving's shot in a tie game with multiple possessions remaining

What about the one and only 3 that Shaq ever made?
