Easily the two worst game winners ever. While I’m so bitter, why does Rudy Gay get so much love?

Rudy.
He beat his man on the dribble, made space, iced it.
West was more lucky.

I’ll take West’s awkward fade away jumper. And even if it’s probably a lucky shot, that make’s it better: it stings the opponent more.
‘What an awkward shot, no chance’
….
‘NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO’

David West says to Kevin Durant “Karma’s a bitch”
sorry but i’m still pissed at Durant for the buzzer beater against the knicks.

I AGREE DAVID WEST HAD A MUCH HARDER SHOT TO HIT WITH THE PUMP FAKE STEP THROUGH BUMP IN FADE AWAY KICK SHOT. BUT IN RUDY GAYS CASE I ALWAYS GO WITH THE FAKE CROSSOVER IN CLUTCH SITUATIONS SINCE THE CROSSOVER IS SO OVER USED THE DEFENDER USUALLY BITES AND BOOM YOU TAKE THE SAME SHOT YOU HIT PLAYING THE HEAT TO WIN THE GAME…SO YAH DAVID WEST CAUSE I SEEN RUDY DO THAT BEFORE…

Gotta go with Gay’s shot. You can tell he practices that and got the exact spacing he wanted. That was a smooth stroke.

LMAO @ people saying West’s shot was lucky. West has done this ish a number of times in his career. Ain’t that much luck in the world. LOL! Pay more attention to the guy and you’d know this.

Matter of factly, he did it quite often when the team was based in OKC for those 2 seasons. Pay attention people. Of course not all of them are on youtube but yeah, West is called the 17ft assassin for a reason. I know his game isn’t all flashy and exciting which is why people sleep on him but wake up and pay more attention.

Where is the coaching? Going ISO with the ball and a few seconds left is lame. At least Rudy beat his man off the dribble and had an uncontested shot.
West had a more difficult shot, but I’m not giving him credit for not making a better play.

WEST TOOK HIS DEFENDER TO HIS SWEET SPOT DID A 3 MOVE COMBO, PUMP FAKE STEP THROUGH TO LEAN IN TO THE FADE AWAY IN DUDES FACE AND HE COULDNT DO NOTHING. IF IT WAS PAUL PIERCE HITTING THAT SAME SHOT WE WOULDNT BE HAVING THIS CONVERSATION. WHATS HARDER? CROSSING OVER SOMEONE AND HITTING AN OPEN SHOT OR PULLING OFF A SWEET FADER WHILE THE DEFENDER IS ALL OVER YOU. BUT I’LL GIVE RUDY 1 POINT CAUSE HE HIT IT ON THE ROAD…SHHHHHHHHH!

PLUS WEST HIT IT OVER SERGE IBAKA (DUNK CONTEST CONTESTANT AND PROVEN SHOT BLOCKER). GAY HIT IT OVER JULIAN WRIGHT(DONT KNOW WHY HES EVEN IN).

West had the harder shot but still if Rudy can make that a signature finishing shot a la Paul Pierce then teams opposing them in the final seconds need beware.
