Devon Harris Makes a RIDICULOUS Buzzer Beater - MUST SEE

It seems to me that every year there is a set of game ending buzzer beaters that make sports one of the most exciting things to watch on tv. However, i dont know if its just my deteriorating following of the NBA, partly because I have learnt how to watch college basketball on ESPN360 :), but it seems to me as if this is a weak year in terms of buzzer beaters. The last couple of days changed all of that.

It began with Dwight Howard's pre game warm up of firing a turnaround from the ball rack that is placed at half court. It was the biggest swish I have ever seen, I am surprised the net didn't just vanish into thin air. If you missed it and want to see the highlight check out ESPN360.

Dwight's drainer was almost like a warning. A warning for us mere mortals to get our eyes prepared for what was about to come two days later. There have been many half court buzzer beaters, even to win games, but Devin Harris' chuck to beat the Sixers was without a doubt one of the most ridiculous buzzer beaters I have ever seen. The reason is simple. If you look at the replay it shows how Devon has no control of the ball. The ball is merely bouncing between him and Andre Iguodala and in the last .1 seconds he somehow grabbed the ball and heaved it at the same time. You can see everything you need to on the Sixers coaches' facial expression. He looked as if he just realized he dropped a load in his pants and had no way of getting to a bathroom to clean it up.

I don't think there is anything more that has to be said on this topic, except to provide a link to the actual video:
