that bastard, that was right when i loved orlando too.

Especially when Penny Hardaway actually did something awesome

Mo Williams 3 to beat the pacers 2 seasons ago. Saw that one live and I couldn't believe. That is one of my favourite Bucks games to watch.

Did you see me after the game throwing all the shit I could find all over the place? I wanted to tear that ugly fucking Bradley Center down. That was my damn birthday too.

Actually a pretty fun game up untill that point though. I had cheap seats for that one, but my gf and I sat down right behind the Pacers bench. When the people with those seats finally came (in the 3rd quarter) the rest of the section gave a standing ovation for me finally being kicked out of their area. Damn did I annoy them.

I can't believe someone already posted the Memorial Day miracle, that is one of my favorites.

I was going to try and pull out the Travis Best hitting the game winner in game 5 of the first round of the playoffs one year against Milwaukee, but I can't find it on youtube. That was a wild series. We were the 1 seed and Milwaukee was the 8, but it was hard fought as hell. I think that was 2000.

Chris Bosh's Fling from Beyond Half Court Last Year. . .Dwight Howards Slam. . .Reggie's Push On Jordan and Then Dagger. . .Kobe's Shot to beat the Suns. . .Jermaine's Turnaround fade against Miami in Overtime. . .All Of Steve Nash's Daggers (That guy is crazy insane)

Forgot Reggie's Turnaround on the NEts to send it to OT, in the 1st round of the Playoffs. . It was controversial. . but whateva

oh snap, this one was my favorite from this decade:



over Krummy Brown. turned the whole series around.

what do you mean over brown, he is like 10 feet away lol.

well Kwame got completely faked out and flew by TT, if you don't remember.


lol @ Thomas after he hit the shot... he went back to the bench and pulled on his jersey like kobe did the game before when he hit the game winner.

yeah i remember, its just funny, specially in that pic. brown is looking at him like "hey is that the guy i am supposed to be guarding? over there? about to win the game and make me look like an ass again"

then ya got walton in the back ground going "damn it kwame cant you guard anything"

Forgot Reggie's Turnaround on the NEts to send it to OT, in the 1st round of the Playoffs. . It was controversial. . but whateva

I think you probably mean half court bank shot, not turnaround.

Chapman's game winner from 1997 reminded me of a memorable Reggie Miller shot from the same season:

I can't believe I didn't mention my favorite shot of all time.

Edit:

It was a turnaround.

I can't believe I didn't mention my favorite shot of all time.

I hate you. worst game ever. this was before the instant replay and apparently Samaki Walker hit a half court 3 at the end of the 1st half that replays showed it was after the buzzer, so the Lakers shouldn't have won that game. Damn Vlade for missing those crucial free throws. Damn Portland for fucking up that big lead. man, life was hard as a Laker hater then.

Muahahahaha, I can totally see you jumping up & down going ooh yeah, Lakers lose, Lakers lose and then Horry comes and knocks the wind out of you.

Hehe, oh how sweet it was to watch the Lakers play the Kings back then.

yep, that was great....I hated the Magic, so was good to see the Pacers win that....a great sequence....

my other fav game winners (in no particular order)

- Mario Elie baseline 3 to bury the Suns in game 7 of Conference Semis
- Jordan shot over Ehlo
- Nick Van Exel's running 3 to beat the Spurs (back when the Lakers were a joy to watch with Ceballos, Peeler, Van Exel & Eddie Jones)
- Paxson's 3 to get the Bulls their 3rd title in a row
- Magic Johnson's running hook in the lane over the Celtics at Boston Garden
- Kukoc turnaround, fading jumper to beat Knicks (yes, the one when Pippen refused to re-enter game)

probably more, but yeah, can't remember at present....

Muahahahaha, I can totally see you jumping up & down going ooh yeah, Lakers lose, Lakers lose and then Horry comes and knocks the wind out of you.

Hehe, oh how sweet it was to watch the Lakers play the Kings back then.

i never rooted for a team not from boston as hard as i did for the kings and blazers back then. i was intent on watching the lakers lose, they just didnt. sad stuff

Ray Allen's 3pt shot from between halfway and 3pt against Phoenix.

yeah that was also nice.

Even though I respect him a lot (although this year that cheap shot was unprofessional, I don't believe that suspension bullshit was really his fault), he seems to break my heart nearly every year.

I remember watching the Kings/Lakers game in a store and when the Kings looked to have won, I was rubbing it in his face, but then Horry hit that shot. I was so pissed.

Then there was 2005... that fucking sucked, but Detroit almost won anyway.

And now 2007... Damn it Bob!

Ray Allen's 3pt shot from between halfway and 3pt against Phoenix.

YES! in the triple overtime. That was insane.

If I ever make a shot like that in a game, I'll retire.

retire from what?

Retire from posting.

nooooooooo, dont do it man

i gotta say Gilbert's game winner over the jazz where he turned around before it went in was amazing.

oh snap, this one was my favorite from this decade:



over Krummy Brown. turned the whole series around.

Man Hell No this is not the best of the decade. the lakers were 4 seconds away from a historic defeat. Kobe's reaction in this pic is priceless.

But Kwame got OWNED
