I don't know why Iverson's crossover shot is there. That's just a routine shot. Seems like they just wanted to include some marquee players on the list. The only non-big name player is Harris, and his should have been higher IMO.
The list and the rankings are a joke. ESPN must have delegated the task of creating this list to a low-level employee who doesn't know very much. They should have put more effort and thought into it.
Lebron shot should not have been there either personally i dont think that any playoff buzzer beater should be in there if the shooters team did not win that series. fisher's .04 should have been in there, horry's shot should have been higher (IMO) so i would personally remove #3 and #1 from those lists. why kobe's 81 isnt in there is beyond me since tmac's "play' was a series of shots as well oh and that prince block on miller while a great play is highly overrated in my book
Why do they continue to show Lebron's game winning 3 against Orlando as a top shot? I mean sure it was amazing, but, uhm THEY GOT THEIR ASSES HANDED TO THEM.
No ish. Duncan's game winning 3 against the Sun's was much more impressive IMHO than Lebron's. At least they went on to win the damned series. I guess we do have to remember this league is more about the $$$ than the game itself.
I dont see how that has anything to do with me being a "kobe ass licker", cuz i'm not one. I dont think Kobe deserves the top spot either, but i'm glad lebron isn't number one because he's been overhyped way too much in the past year by the media. Plz grow the F up before posting a childish insult here again. I'm Canadian by the way
Pathetic #1. LeBron's game winner #2? ESPN and their Lebron loving can eat me. Fisher and Duncan trading game winners was better than BOTH of those. And how can they put Baron's dunk on AK47 and not THIS? <object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/5OHUAjxPo4I&hl=en_US&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/5OHUAjxPo4I&hl=en_US&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>
It's just the media at again... Just like they love the Yankees, red sox, celtics, and of course the lakers...
More carelessness by the spurs than anything. He just made all his shots. I know it's not as easy as it sounds, but if the spurs would just hold onto the ball that wouldn't have happened lol. Still it was really exciting when it happened.
Uh, have you ever SEEN the final 33 seconds? McGrady was swishing shots with 2-3 hands in his face. The spurs played good ball during that stretch, Devin Brown's failboat not withstanding.
I didn't say anything about McGrady being unguarded...just by common sense all the spurs had to do is hold the ball for 2 possessions and McGrady wouldn't have gotten the chance.
Yeah that was a horrible top 10... T-Macs dunk on bradley was way better than Barron Davis. 0.4 sec fisher shot shouldve been on there too
You could say the same thing about every game winning shot. If only the other team could make just one more basket before that, they wouldn't have had the chance to even attempt a winning shot. Giving you a chance does not make the shot any easier. You still have to make the play.
Lol, come on. This wasn't a game winning shot. This was a series of events that had to go perfectly for him to even get the chance at it. Missed free throws, bad passes, bad fouls, and random mishandles had to all occur for him to be able to hit those shots. It was amazing, but it wasn't about the spurs hitting one more shot. It was a combination of the spurs failing to execute even a little bit and McGrady hitting some extremely difficult shots.
Huh? What's your point? Are you saying that all the Spurs failings makes it less deserving? Not a game winning shot? It's a quadruple game winning shots. That somehow makes it less?
This is a crappy top 10. What's so special about Tayshaun Price's #8? What's so special about Chris Pauls circus shot? He just got lucky. Happens all the time in the NBA, just throw it up there. Why isn't Tmac's 13 in 35 ranked higher? Atleast top 3 IMO. Fisher's 0.4 shot should be in there. Tmac dunking on Bradley is as good as Baron Davis on Kirilenko. Vince Carter dunking all over Mourning should be in there. As others mentioned, Kobe's 81 should be in there if they wanted to put in Kobe. #1 was weakkkkk.
