There are certain signs that tell you March Madness is right around the corner.
The Alabama State Hail Mary is a great example of what I’m talking about.
In the NBA, March doesn’t exactly have the same juice.
But you know what?
Sometimes March Madness is so powerful that it can even elevate a random NBA matchup.
Could never be me.
Their games are insane.
Especially for a player like Cade Cunningham who has taken a serious leap as a legitimate All NBA player.
When you get that choice right, it changes your franchise forever.
When you get that choice wrong, it can set you back decades.
Many players fail when it comes to shouldering that responsibility, whereas Cade has clearly succeeded.
His being a true #1 pop in of player is the foundation of this entire turnaround.
In terms of the shot itself, that’s about as good as it gets.
A bank shot game winner on the road right in the face of Bam Adebayo?
That’s a tough ass shot, even if he didn’t intend to bank it in.
Getting it off that cleanly with such a quality defender closing out like that is big time stuff.
The broadcast is right too by the way.
When your fortune turns as a franchise and you become a winning team, those shots go in.
When your fortune turns the other way, that shot goes in against you.
This led to the Heat’s 9th straight loss.
Heat Culture isn’t even on life support, it’s dead and in need of a revival.
That’s just how things work in the NBA.
You’re telling me you might’t see him pulling a Trae Young and having huge moments in that building?
Maybe a shot just like tonight?
