Possibly the Greatest Buzzer Beater You'll Ever See

[GFB]

When I first clicked on the thread I thought "Nothing can beat the one with the kid who shot it from his back and in..."

Well, it turns out I was wrong.

The Blake Hoffarber shot?

The kid that played at Minny? Then that's the one. It had the best combination of stakes, bizarreness, and actually "beating the buzzer" that I had seen.... up until today.

Not really sure how you can say the ball is gone in time. Stop the video at :30. But anyways still an amazing play.

"New Rochelle", the high school of Ray Rice, no less, is just begging for a Seinfeld joke.

Alas, I cannot deliver it!

Because they twice freeze it at a point where the clock still says .1 and the ball is no longer touching his hands?

Can't remember who or when (other than a looooong time ago), only what, and to me it's still the best buzzer-beater ever. A guy was very near his own end and just flung the ball the length of the court as he fell out of bounds. In it went.

Yeah because they twice freeze it at a point where the clock still says .1 and the ball is no longer touching his hands.

Pretty much. Anyone arguing the ball wasn't off in time is just being argumentative. The replays clearly show the ball was off with time on the clock.

I just loved the ref ducking for cover as he runs off the court @ 0:36

That's the same thing I thought...and it instantly reminded me of that NFL game in Cleveland against the Jaguars where the refs basically had to book it for their lives amidst the onslaught of bottles and batteries (?) and whatnot.

Clevejacked?

Clevejacked is gaining some serious ground on "Today we are all..." as the most played out CCSLC meme.

Alright - I'll take the rain of boos on this one. "Today, we were all Clevejacked..." Sweet shot, though.

The kid who intercepted the inbounds pass has got to be kicking himself right now. He doesn't even need to dribble. If he just stands there holding the ball for 1 second then they win whatever championship this was for.

Rare is the occasion where I defend the idiots that make up 90% of my fellow Browns fans, but that officiating crew had it coming.

Right, because any mention of Cleveland whatsoever means a thread has been "Clevejacked." Why not nominate it for a POTD while you're at it?

On topic: they clearly got the shot off in time. And...McCarthy makes a great point; the kid who intercepted the inbound pass should have just stood there.

[DG_ThenNowForever]

It was a neat shot, but for historical significance, I don't think it gets better than Jordan against the Jazz. If only he had stayed retired.

Or at least if you feel the need to do something with the ball, chuck it straight up in the air.

I wonder if they get the call if they're playing in a gym that doesn't have the orange lights around the hoop. I bet those helped the ref make the call.
