That move happens once or twice a season nowadays. It's no where near a unique event.

Larry Bird's left handed game: 120-119 win over the Blazers with 47 points, 14 rebounds, and 11 assists in 49 minutes of action. He shot 21-of-34 from the field and 3-of-3 from three. “Tomorrow night’s the last game of the trip; I’m going to play this one left-handed. Well, at least through three quarters,” Bird reportedly said before the game against the Portland Trail Blazers. “I’m saving my right hand for the Lakers.”

Yeah, the stolen inbounds pass is just unreal. That was literally the ONLY way the Celtics could win that game. So Bird and DJ just went out and did that. Crazy.

Reggie Miller told a story about Bird as a coach. Bird would talk trash to the rookies to test their mental fortitude. He challenged Al Harrington and another rookie to a 3 pt shooting contest. Bird was in his 40's at the time and had 3 back surgeries. Bird beat them and Reggie Miller had to explain that Bird is right handed. Bird shot all his 3 point shots lefty. He's definitely shot a 3 lefty in the game.

The Jerry West shot is so impressive to me because and was a half court shot that went right in the net! It wasn't a clean swish but every other half court shot I've seen is a bank shot. I swear I have seen a play of Kobe hitting a 360 shot. I haven't been able to find it however. Does anyone else know of it?

Jr Ridar shot is the best and most difficult shot I ever seen. I have never seen a shot more impressive and difficult too.

Wilt blocking Kareem's skyhook twice in a row.

Vince almost broke KG's jaw after that dunk. Watch Garnett coming in to steal his shine as Vince is pumped up about the dunk. KG was was a millimeter from being called KO.

Came here to say this.

Your channel is undervalued by the basketball community. I think your lack of sensationalism is the reason. Ultimately, the people who watch are surely loyal. I just wish there were more or of us here. You deserve it

Ooo I believe it was All Star 2008, Rasheed Wallace hit 2 3s with his left hand after Chris Bosh tried and missed as a lefty 😂 one of my favs, i was in school and stayed up to watch it. Not sure if it counts in the All Star game? Also in that game was the first time I saw a double alley oop, from J Kidd to Wade to Lebron 🥶

Good man adding an honourable mentions segment at the end. Nice touch.

With those honourable mentions, you can make this into a series. It'll be interesting to see more of these players and the information about them.

Hey Jhonny, as usual, I have another top 5 suggestion Since you made the 5 best passers of all time. ¿What about the best ISO scorers of all time? Despite not being winning basketball in my opinion, it still requires a lot of skill

Great concept, list, and video. My pick would be Morris Peterson's buzzer beater against the Wizards. I always used to think that players should just throw the ball up the run out the clock, then to see it backfire was just amazing.

@codyeble6764

Bro lol I was watching that live thinking the same, then when he threw it up im like that looks like enough time to come back down, what if... Then it happened lol

Awesome video, Jonny! Great list. Like you, I can't think of any other instances in which these plays have happened again. Lots of jaw-dropping moments, but I agree that the Carter dunk over Weiss is the greatest one on the list. It's iconic and amazing. I hope you are having a great Wednesday. Take care :).

At the end of the day it's just a buzzer beater but Devin Harris had one of the craziest ones in history. When he played for NJ and they were playing Philly when Iggy was on the team. Harris got the inbound and was running up the court. He tried to launch from half court buy Iggy stripped him. Harris was fumbling the ball and just controlled it for long enough to heave it to the basket and it went in! The video is so perfect cuz you see the red light come on literally just after he released

Thank you for including JR Rider insane shot.

The play where Jordan catches a cross court pass with one hand and palms it mid air, comes down and converts it all in one motion hitting a bank shot. Most incredible play.

Great video man I didn't know about most of these

Robert Horry missed dunk, hangs on the rim, reaches back, catches the ball 1 handed and dunks it, still hanging on the rim. Great play call "It does not count. But boy do I want to see it again."

Larry Bird's steal against Detroit in the Conference Finals...he was on his tip-toes so his feet wouldn't be out of bounds. Hit DJ coming back with an assist for DJ's GWB layup. Larry Bird of all guys & his most memorable play was a defensive one.

Jerry Wests full court playoff buzzer beater, he called it. no one else has ever called a full court shot

An 8 point play is crazy 😅😅😅😅

Glad to see West's buzzer beater get an honorable mention, first thing I thought of when I saw this title

Allen Iverson’s look at the camera layup is probably my all time favorite.

I don’t think we’ll ever see another player ever play 3 quarters of a game left handed. LEGEND 🕊

Cool vid I’ve seen bron hit at least 4-6 behind the backboard shots but man dude hit a behind the backboard shot spinning out of a DOUBLE TEAM😭🔥it was a sky ball and it was all net that was wild

I was hoping that 8 point play from the Blazers would be in here. Instantly came to mind when I saw the video timeline

Glad Rodney Rodgers got some shine on this list! He was one of the 1st 'stretch' fours. Sad what happened to him after he retired.

Ray Allen going backwards over the 3 point line for the game winner has gotta be up there. I know other players do step backs all the time but they're not usually continuously running backwards like he was, blindly positioning himself perfectly between the 3 point line and the sideline

I think the Trevor Booker tap shot should be on the list. I also think you could reasonably have included Teresa Weatherspoon hitting a half court shot at the final buzzer to win game 2 of the 1999 WNBA finals. I know you don't really do WNBA, but that's my pick for the greatest shot in basketball history given the circumstances.

It’s not an nba play but I remember a Euroleague one from a decade or so ago. There was a regular season game for Euroleague between Anadolu Efes and Olimpia Milano (They were Emporio Armani Milano back then) where zoran planinic basically grabbed a rebound off of a late game free throw from the opponent and scored a full court buzzer beating 3 pointer to win by 1 points (61-60). It was technically similar to a shot he made when he was in the nba in 2005 but this one in 2013 was a game winning one. I was watching it live as well when this happened and I couldn’t believe it despite not supporting either team. It’s probably isn’t the rarest ever or something but it was still a pretty rare shot to witness.

The Houston Rocket Pippen's hook from half-court at Dallas 1999-02-11 game was rare too, I have it but it's vhs quality.

Nice to see some love for J. R.

Horry's 3 vs the Kings is famous in my family because I was just stunned. How about the play where the defender gets the rebound and tried to hurt the ball but it must of slipped because as the ball came down, the opponent jumps up, shoots the ball in one motion and hits a game winner.

Two crazy shots were Brandon Ingram’s turn around hook shot buzzer beater from half-court and Baron Davis 90 footer

Honorable mentions under Vince Carter's dunk are Giannis jumping over Hardaway Jr. for the oop, and Lebron jumping over Lucas III on the oop.

Baron Davis full court shot.. Tmac 13 points in 33 seconds

I don't know if there might be other plays like these ones, but i'd say Ginobili's Accidental 3-pointer and Mo Peterson's Buzzer Beater.

Great list wish you had done a top 10

If it was extended to 6 then I would include Bill Russell's layup while jumping over someone from the free throw line.

Very nice video as always. Regarding the 3 pointer with a non dominant hand - I think Larry Bird has done it in the famous 60 points game against Atlanta Haws - At least Dominique claims he did that 3 separate times but I have never seen the full game but I imagine you probably have. Is it true or false?

Im pretty sure Damian Lillard made a shot from 15-18 ft and it counted as a 3. I also think that is the only instance of that play.

Jordan's layup against the Nets was better than the "Spectacular Move" layup.

I’m pretty sure KD hit a lefty 3 pointer for game back in OKC. He also fell into the stands I think

2:07 Reminds me of Luka's recent Hook Shot 3 vs the nets. He did use his right hand though.

"Oh, a spectacular move by Michael Jordan! That's 13 consecutive field goals!" is the first thing that comes to mind with regard to this topic. I'd forgotten about the Rider shot, probably because the pre Garnett Timberwolves were hot garbage, usually playing like girls and never making the playoffs. Seeing that shot was totally awesome baby!

One of the best shots is Jerry West 60 ft buzzer beater

I was expecting to see White Chocolate's elbow pass on here?

Larry Bird played an entire game where he only hit left-handed shots. There was nothing wrong with his right hand he was just showing how much better he was than his opponents.

Honorable Mention to DWade getting blocked by KD, getting the ball back, and hitting a buzzer beater

JJ Barea's layup on a flagrant 2 by Andrew Bynum at the end of game 4 of the 2011 playoffs against the Lakers. Not sure if anybody has made a shot by getting flagrant fouled let alone a flagrant 2.
