Gary Neal hits a deep three point shot with no time on the clock to prevent playoff elimination.

Has anyone in NBA history hit a bigger shot than that? Has anyone ever hit a shot at the buzzer to prevent playoff elimination?

If not, that's the greatest shot ever in the history of the NBA.

OK, Neal now has the 2nd greatest shot ever. Anyone else?

when that shot went in i was thinking to myself how massive it was and how the significance of it was just being over looked but now that we are talking about it, it really was huge, i think nobody would be surprised if san an now took this series. they are not going to get by okc but if they did and then somehow beat the lakers(not gonna happen either) and then lebron gets injured in the east finals and has to sit out the finals and san an takes the title. then i think we can give this shot the title of greatest ever. but as it is, even if they loose next game it is still an absolutely massive shot.

I really miss the 5-game 1st-round format: more drama, teams more focused, now it's just too long and you know the really good series mostly take place in the 2nd round and beyond. **** Stern.

I can't be upset because the Pistons ended up winning the series and eventually the NBA Championship, but I've always been just a little bit bummed that Chauncey Billups' half courter to send Game 5 into overtime did not help propel Detroit to victory. It was such a glorious life-saving moment. I was so sure the Pistons were going to go be down 3-2 in the series heading back to New Jersey. But then Chauncey hits that miracle (and the Pistons end up going down 3-2 heading back to New Jersey anyway - thanks Brian Scalabrine).

I've been saying that for years. Back in the 2002 playoffs, Baron Davis's catch-n-shoot was ruled off because the refs admittedly determined beforehand that no player had enough time to catch-n-shoot with 0.7 seconds.

But the lakers weren't playing so that might have been the difference :rolleyes:

that last 25 seconds was sooooo fun to watch. You got two teams throwing haymakers. ZBo abusing everyone, one handed rebounds and put backs (multiple times) Ginobili's shot was off the charts, the Neal shot although not as pleasing due to all he did was catch one dribble and shoot, it was better than Manu's because it was a game saving shot with no time left.

The Horry shot though saved the season against Sac, if LA loses that game they go down 3-1 while not having home court, that saved the series just as much as the Neal shot, and it wasn't even drawn up, it was shoot from the hip-like.

And the Fisher .4, they reviewed it, and fg stands

It's not just him but other fans and the media feel that way too. If that had been Kobe/LeBron/etc. making the shot, we'd see multiple threads about it, ESPN would play it over and over, and "experts" would be talking about it all week.

Ok I'll give you that. I thought you just were just talking about how the shot was made. But you gotta admit, though Gaines' game winner was a regular season win, it's context is pretty significant too because it could have costed him his job in the league. Remember, he did this during his 10 day contract with the Jazz.

It's the 2nd greatest individual shot AT THAT MOMENT. After Jordan's Cavs shot. You can't say "we have to see what happens rest of playoffs". None of those other moments were as "do or die" as that shot, besides Jordan's and Allan Houston's.

I win. Again.

This shot was good, but it sent the game to OT.

Reggie over Jordan was better.
Eddie Johnson agaisnt Jazz was better.
Charlotte Mourning against Celtics was better.
West half court was better.
Horry against Lakers was better.
Stockton against Houston was better.
jordan over Ehlo was better.
Smits against Magic was better.
Fisher over Spurs was better.

You win the Clueless award. You are the epitome of ISH dummy. A teenager living in the moment of each game. You think a buzzer beater to tie a game in the first round when you deserve to lose is the best one ever.

Remove your head from your ass.

Hopefully you are trolling because this is asinine. When these playoffs are done it won't even be one of the five biggest shots of these playoffs.

In fact Jordan game 1 over Russell was better. That was big time.
Gary Neal? wouldnt even be on that roster.

First round buzzer beater to tie a game against the Memphis Grizzlies?

Outta here.

A teenager? I wish.....but thanks for the compliment.

Beside Jordan and ok, I'll give you Allan Houston, was there ever a more important shot at that moment in time? All those other great shots there were either more games to play or more time on the clock. It wasn't absolutely positively vital to make.

How many buzzer beater, made elimination shots have their been? Very few.



I cluelessly win again. :banana:

Maybe not ever, but it is as big of a shot as you can get. Down 3 at the buzzer, and if you miss you're eliminated? How much more high pressure can it get?

Inbound with down by 3 and 0,5 sec left in the game 7 of the NBA finals with 2 defenders on you and getting the foul for a 3 + 1 that win the title

That would be the uncontested greatest shot ever

And by a dominant low post center that have never made a 3pts in his career

Reggie Miller did it twice to the Nets in one game. In an elimination game. The Nets did it to the Pistons in a 3 OT game 5. In a later round. Lou Williams hit a shot with like 3 secodns left to stay alive against Miami. Have some perspective. SA most than likely is going to get killed with all the energy they expended and only the one day off. This is going to be a footnote shot. You are talking like it won the series. For this shot to be important SA not only needs to win this series, they need to win the title. Otherwise it becomes part of a collage of game winners and nothing more.

Gary Neal hits a deep three point shot with no time on the clock to prevent playoff elimination.

Has anyone in NBA history hit a bigger shot than that? Has anyone ever hit a shot at the buzzer to prevent playoff elimination?

If not, that's the greatest shot ever in the history of the NBA.




Close thread. :pimp:

Here is some NBA history.

Check out all-time great Jerry West's half court shot against the Knicks in the NBA Finals. His shot tied the game at the buzzer and sent it into overtime.

Given that West's shot occurred in the NBA Finals, had a higher degree of difficulty and was more dramatic given the circumstances and teams involved

Dude it was a big shot, we get you point. But it didn't even win the game, and it was in the first round against a lowly opponent.
Too stupid for words.

Come back here in 4 weeks. If the Spurs make some miraculous run to the finals, you have your historical perspective to prove your point. UNtil then, it's just a great shot. If Gary Neal becomes historically relevant for some reason, same thing. Otherwise it's great moment without great context.
