    Yeah if they don't win a game, I have no idea why a quarter or half ending heave is even on the list.

    That Bulls / Lakers ending was something else. Definitely on the list for all time greats.

    Or Jokic’s heaves “lucky”? He seems to hit them with near regularity.

    What stops that from being a great play? Is a 360 layup a better play than heaving the ball 70' and swishing it?

    Or better, how many players can do a 360 layup vs how many can make a 70' one handed heave?

    I wouldn't discount them from being top ten.

    Who else does that though? It seems elite to me. Just because one person can do it often doesn't mean anything. Shae can throw down a tomahawk dunk regularly, it doesn't diminish his 5th spot any less.

    The long heaving shot is more about luck than skill IMO.

    And unfortunately we only had like 3 decent replays of the dunk and no SUPER-MO cameras. Horrible camera crew that night….lucky we even got that. Had that dunk been at home, we would have had 15 angles with 3 SUPER-MOs. Sigh…….

    I dunno. If it were different guys doing it, sure. But when the same guy does it several times im thinking its more of a skill he has that no one else does.
    Are Dames half court makes luck? Or skill?

    I was talking about a heaving one handed toss shot. Different IMO then when Dame or Steph take a long range 3 with pretty much their normal shooting form.

    Im failing to see the difference though. Joker has done it several times and his form is the same when he heaves. To me, once is luck. Several times? Skill.
