Basketball is filled with unforgettable moments, and the NBA has seen players create iconic shots that define legacies. Here are ten such moments where time seemed to stop:
Derek Fisher’s 0.4-Second Miracle (2004): In a clutch Western Conference Semifinal game, Fisher’s near-impossible buzzer-beater against the Spurs with just 0.4 seconds left secured a critical win, despite controversy over the clock.
Kawhi Leonard’s Game 7 Buzzer-Beater (2019): Leonard’s memorable shot over Joel Embiid in the Eastern Conference Semifinals, bouncing four times before dropping in, gave Toronto its first-ever Finals appearance.
Michael Jordan’s “The Shot” (1989): In a decisive playoff game, Jordan’s game-winning jumper over Craig Ehlo sealed his legacy as a clutch performer and marked the beginning of his legendary career.
Damian Lillard’s 37-Foot Dagger (2019): Lillard’s iconic game-winner from almost half-court against the Thunder not only sealed the series but showcased his confidence and elevated him to legendary status.
Ray Allen’s Corner Three (2013): In the Finals, Allen’s clutch three-pointer with seconds remaining tied the game and helped the Heat win in overtime, shifting the series’ momentum.
Stephen Curry’s 38-Foot Buzzer-Beater (2016): Curry’s awe-inspiring three-pointer from beyond half-court in overtime against the Thunder was a typical display of his unmatched shooting ability.
Larry Bird’s Behind-the-Backboard Shot (1986): In a moment of pure creativity, Bird made a nearly impossible shot over the backboard against the Rockets, cementing his status as one of the NBA’s greatest.
Vince Carter’s Reverse 360 Layup (2005): Carter’s jaw-dropping 360-degree reverse layup was a testament to his incredible athleticism and creativity on the court.
LeBron James’ Falling Three-Pointer (2018): With seconds left in a tied game, LeBron’s contested three-pointer against the Pacers highlighted his determination and earned him further "King" status.
Tracy McGrady’s 13 Points in 35 Seconds (2004): McGrady’s explosive scoring streak against the Spurs in just 35 seconds remains one of the most improbable comebacks in NBA history.
