That shot certainly wasn’t 30 ft

I'm dumb. Thought the 3pt line was 3 feet away from the basket. Fixed the title

One step inside the arc, 21-foot left-handed floating hook over Jokic for the win.
That has to be up there with some of the best game-winning shots ever in terms of degree of difficulty.

See Doncic's shot to tie the game for more confirmation that NBA players are better nowadays as compared to the good old days.

Left handed at that..and over Jokic. When Dallas is on, they can be a threat to win the West. Problem is the inconsistency

Good things happening for good people. Cheers to Kyrie and all of my fellow Lions who took a brave stand despite insane amounts of pressure.

If he had missed, no one was going to yell at him. He had less than 3 seconds to create something in a tied game.

Great shot though.

Kyrie is one the most fun players to watch, and one of the best shot creators and finishers I’ve ever seen.

I thought Cuban sold the team? He was out there in the green hoodie?

Not only was he out there, he was hamming it up and making sure his mug was front and center.

Cuban is an attention whore choad

The Adelson’s bought majority ownership of the franchise but Cuban still retains control of day to day operations as part of the deal.

Not a skyhook, but still an incredible shot. Just a left handed shot. Awesome shot to be his non-dominant hand.

A left-handed hook shot from 20 feet out, with a 7 footer guarding you.

You may be hard pressed to find a game winner through all of NBA hisory with a higher degree of difficulty than the shot Kyrie just took.

Do we have a new definition of a skyhook?
