It's nothing more than luck. A guy launches a prayer and it happens to go in and it is immediately #1 on plays of the week/day.

It's not like it's even rare anymore.

Overrated by who? Sportscenter?

Maybe some random top 10 may play it too much but don't watch if it bothers you.

I know if i made a last second shot i would think it's pretty fricking fantastic.

I'm confused as to how it's overrated. It's the potential game winning shot. Make it, go home a winner. Miss it, go home a loser.

the overrated part is MJ's mythical 100% shooting percentage. time has warped everyone mind into thinking hes never missed a shot.


its not luck. its a low percentage shot that everyone struggles with. even the amazing assassin kobe bean bryant

How the frick is it luck? Seems to be more of good skill rather than luck, unless the shot is longer than a half court shot.

Do you mean like a half court shot or something like that? If so, yeah thats mostly luck. But last second shots during NBA games were they run a play or isolate isn't luck at all.

Winthrop hit a pretty crazy one today in the Big South tourney

I am sure High Point feels good, winning the regular season title and losing in the quarterfinal on a desperation shot

I can only remember him missing one game winner, tbh.

And he got rim-robbed like a mug
