Same spot, not the same result

ICYMI, Vince Carter sinks a shot against the Spurs that  he once took 13 playoffs before. Yeah that's right, it leads us back to the 2001 Eastern conference semi-finals against the Sixers. A pass from a former Raptor, Jose Calderon, just makes it much sweeter for redemption for the man who Canadians call as 'Air Canada.' I saw this clip on 'The Starters' and I'm glad to see VC was able to convert a very identical shot in which he missed on a do or die game during his prime.

Vince Carter may have been not the same man we used to watch but it's really exciting to see someone redeem himself all thanks for a pass right on the money and some pump fakes to create just enough space for the needed shot.

Hey, I was once a Carter fanatic until he had some issues with the management of Toronto Raptors and left. This shot really makes me look back at some of his highlights while he was still the best 'wing' man of the league. I also once thought "what if he made that shot against the Sixers?"

Triple Dose of the Wild Wild West

Feeling nostalgic without a WCF (Western Conference Finals) match-up to watch now that Spurs swept the grit n' grid Grizzlies? Don't worry I got yah covered. Let's take a quick trip down the memory lane to witness wild buzzer beaters that transpired during the NBA playoffs. 

1. John Stockton game 6 game winning triple at Houston (1997)

Stockton shooting over Charles Barkley providing a late second heroics to seal the series 4-2.

Stockton, the last man who wore short shorts in NBA, scored 11 of Utah's 14 during the 4th Quarter on a road game against the Rockets during the game 6 of the 1997 Western Conference Finals.  This reminded me of Kevin Love's game winner against the Clippers when he popped out on a series of screens and gave a dagger, on this play it was Stockton who was given the shot to give a punch to the mouth. Thanks to Malone's wide body providing a solid screen on Stockton's defender; Drexler, Barkley, and Olajuwon - Houston's version of Big 3 - fell short to reach the NBA finals to face the Bulls. Watch the video here.

2. Robert Horry game winning triple against Sacramento Kings (2002)

Chris Webber closing out a desperation shot from Robert Horry on a game winning triple to put the series at 2-2. 

Game 4 at LA, Kings leading the series 2-1. Sacramento had the chance to take a commanding lead but when they surprisingly missed those free throws and put the purple and gold back on striking distance, they got rob by "Big Shot Rob". One of Horry's crazy game winners, Kings on the other hand, never recovered after this awful loss. Watch the video here.

3. Derek Fisher game winner against the Spurs (2004)

Fisher sinks an impossible shot to put the Lakers ahead on the series 3-2 with just 0.4 seconds left on the clock.

After Duncan made an unbelievable shot to put the Spurs ahead 73-72, Fisher made his own miraculous fade away over Manu Ginobili. With 0.4 seconds left, Derek Fisher stunned the crowd, the Spurs themselves, and the basketball world. Ever wondered why Fisher gets heavily booed by fans when at San Antonio? This shot is the reason, watch the video here.
