    Erm … did they miss Devin Harris’ fumble 1/2 court shot ???

  2. marcus the great says:

    that vince carter one was the funniest to me

    cosign the devin harris shot

    surprised dwade didnt make the list, he’s good for a circus shot like every game

  3. Kevin says:

    -the # 1 wasn’t any better than like 3 of the other ones on here.
    -loved the full court lop shot, awesome.
    -agreed on the devin harris shot.

  4. That's whats Up says:

    d-harris at #1 – that shot actually meant something

    I’d put #3 ahead of 1 and 2 on this list

  5. runngun22 says:

    Devin Harris’s circus shot from halfcourt was the best, followed by #4 then #3 from the video.

  6. Dagomar says:

    Lebron’s was pretty crazy. Loved the Vince shot. I’m also pretty surprised Wade wasn’t on the list!

  7. Brado says:

    The Jason Richardson 360ish thing….shows how much hop he has lost.

    B-Roy getting stuffed by Brewer and picking it up midair then draining the shot…..best part though was Ronnies reaction after that shot went in. Blocking B-Roy pulled Brewer to that tipping point of joy then Roy grabs it mid-air and sinks the shot. From Ronnies reaction you know it hurt. Any who have experienced “blue-ball” can empathize with Ronnies fealing.

  8. BNZA says:

    Isiah JR Riders shot of the century is best.

    how can the NBA forget Devin Harris on a circus shot of the season compilation? At least Lebron wasn´t number one….

  9. max says:

    best of all time is VCs 360 layup vs the lakers in 2005

  10. Soopa says:

    Best part? How depressing the Griz’s announcers sounded while LeBrons shot was about to go in/after it went in.

  11. K Dizzle says:

    @ 10 – lol totally cosign that
    Dudes sounded right depressed lol

    Best of all time – Mo Pete with the headback coverin his eyes and definitely JR Rider’s three point flip goin out of bounds

  12. FK says:

    Best all-time for me is Rex Chapman and the fall-out-of-bounds game tie-er for Phoenix. Every kid with a basketball practiced that for 10 years.

    Bonus points for the fact that he is remembered for this over anything else from his career – including an okay showing in the dunk contest.

  13. FK says:

    Mo Pete also springs to mind repeatedly:

    with the Wizards ‘3′ (off of Haywood’s brain fart) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_l5nHDIcOAE

    and the blindfolded layup: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sTo0EY-5Yrk

    And the trip, skip, flip: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9HtMHmyKZa0

  14. weezy f says:

    LMFAO AT THE GRIZZLIES ANNOUNCERS SOUNDING DEPRESSED BEFORE AND AFTER THE FACT LEBRON MADE IT..THATS NUMBER 1 IN MY BOOK

  15. doc says:

    Yeah Dvein the Dude shoulda been here.@FK-I actually made one of them in AAU days to send the game to OT.I dont remember if Rex got smashed in OT but if he did I did that too.

  16. M Intellect says:

    The Wizards have Jiffy Lube sideboards? WTF. Check clip 9.

  17. sk says:

    marco belinelli’s behind the backboard shot was better than most of these…

  18. Bing says:

    #3 was by far the best shot.

    All the other (cept maybe lebron’s) were just prayers but AI was mad skill

    PS where’s KObe in that top 10?
