When will the first ever title-clinching buzzer beater happen?

[Hizack]

The closest we've seen are:

Vinnie Johnson's shot in 1990 (video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gieo5zTf_SA#t=447)) but it had 0.7 seconds on the clock,
John Paxson's shot in 1993 (video (https://youtu.be/DfqkJsu15XI?t=431)) but it had 3.9 seconds on the clock,
Steve Kerr's shot in 1997 (video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ty06aQi2o1k#t=539)) but it had 5.0 seconds on the clock,
and Jordan's famous shot in 1998.

When will the first ever title-clinching buzzer beater happen? This'd be the greatest moment in NBA history.

It has to be in the game 7 too. A buzzer beater to win in 4, 5 or 6 is a lot less dramatic.

Yup, can't disagree.

Didn't the Celtics do it in the 60s?

I was thinking about the 1969 finals but it wasn't a buzzer beater.

[L.Kizzle]

There was one in the 50s or 60s I believe.

I'm just glad the Parker shot missed because Duncan getting subbed back in illegally for those last few seconds after the review (even though he had almost nothing to do with the play) likely would've become a huge deal and put a stain on everything if Parker hit it.

MJ almost had another one in 1998. If he hit that three at the end of Game 5, the Bulls woulda won their 6th ring then.

Oh, well. Just set up an epic Game 6 for him (though I was mad pissed the Bulls shit the bed in Game 5).

Airballed the game-winner his last game in Chicago as a Bull. :lol

I mean damn, tough way to say goodbye

I'm pretty sure his goodbye came after the parade celebrating a 6th title.

Although Ray Allen's shot in 2013 wasn't a game-winner, the outcome of the series was riding on it.

I mean damn, he said goodbye to them a few days later with ring #6. I think Bulls fans would still take that.

[sportjames23]

Damn :roll:


Why you laughing, ****boi? Lebron about to leave Cleveland again with NO ring.
