No matter the level of basketball being played, few things beat a game winner.
Make 18,000 people leave the arena unable to comprehend what just happened.
That’s very elite.
It’s one of those situations where there’s really no wrong answer.
A perfect example of this question can be found at the ending of Tuesday’s Hawks/Jazz game.
You guessed it, we had another incredible night of basketball in the Association with more incredible endings.
Talk about a wave of emotions for Jazz fans.
As expected, making a big time shot at home in that situation was awesome.
Great crowd reaction, a bit of a prayer but that’s usually how these things go.
The thing about Trae Young is he’s an all-time villain.
He LOVES to go into another team’s arena and shut everyone up with a dagger game winning 3.
First off, good on him for letting that shit fly FG% be damned.
That’s why you ALWAYS get the shot off, you never know what can happen.
You just never know.
From the thrill of victory to the agony of defeat all in an instant.
But hey, that’s why you have to play a full 48 minutes.
Can’t fall asleep on defense in that spot just because you’re amped up things were now tied.
That lack in mental focus, even if it’s only for a second, can be costly.
