Game-Winner

Andrew Wiggins is a party pooper…if you’re an Oklahoma City Thunder fan. The Minnesota Timberwolves’ 22-year-old ruined a magnificent fourth quarter from Russell Westbrook on Sunday night, as well as what should have been a game-winner by Carmelo Anthony. And how: by sinking an actual game-winner just inside half-court. Here’s a video of the play: [...]

Deron Williams had 25 points, four assists and two rebounds in the Mavericks thrilling 117-116 win over the Kings in Dallas Tuesday night. His last three points were special though as D-Will looked like the Deron Williams of old by knocking down a smooth three pointer on the move at the buzzer to pull out [...]

April 9, 2012 – The Hoop Doctors The New York Knicks were up by 21 points in the first quarter against the league leading Chicago Bulls yesterday. Even though the Bulls had Derrick Rose back, at that point most would have thought the Knicks were set to cruise in for the victory they so desperately [...]

March 4, 2011 – Allen Moll We have been waiting all season for this type of highlight from last season’s #1 rated high school player, Harrison Barnes. After all, Barnes was the first ever freshman selected to the Pre-Season NCAA All American Team.  But success has come slow in his first season on Chapel Hill [...]

January 11, 2011 – Allen Moll Win or lose, buzzer beaters are arguably the most entertaining of any type of shot in the game of basketball. After all, how many games come down to the final ticks of the game clock, with a player attempting a last gasp, final toss towards the rim and who [...]

January 3, 2011 – Kevin Burke Is it me or does defending Rookie of the Year and “Mr. 20, 5, and 5”, Tyreke Evans get somewhat overlooked? When people mention the best young guards in the league, his name will get mentioned, but it’s not until after a handful of names are rattled off already. [...]

December 20, 2010 – Allen Moll Every member of Jayhawk Nation and college basketball fans in general could hardly wait for December 18th to finally arrive. That’s the date that everyone circled on their calendars when Kansas’ top recruit Josh Selby, fresh off a 9 game suspension to begin the season, was set to make [...]

January 15, 2009 – Dr. J-Water This morning I discussed Kobe Bryant’s “Big Balls” dance and I mentioned how Kobe should have waited until the final buzzer sounded and he knew they secured the win before displaying that level of cockiness.
