Reply to comment by sleepytoday in Golden Retriever Does a Tippytap by leinathan

He intentionally missed a free throw in the last few seconds of a game to avoid turning over the ball and then the ball got back to him and he somehow got a bucket to tie the game with one second left, taking the game onto overtime. It was a huge 4D chess move that paid off.

It's not exactly a huge 4d chess move play.

It is the standard and only winning play if the foul shot can't tie the game but a a regular bucket can.

I guess that's why I'm not in the NBA.

it may not be a 4d chess move, but the fact that it even worked is what makes it incredable since the other team is suppose to have the positional advantage when foul shots are missed. if i remember correctly, in this instance 3 of the knicks actually tipped the ball before luka got it.

Definitely, I am by no means trying to take away how amazing it is when this very difficult and unlikely play succeeds.
