With his Detroit Pistons facing what appeared to be an impossible deficit, Saunders tried to give them a last-second pep talk. "I told them that strange things happen," he said. "We might as well try to get something crazy." Did they ever. Rasheed Wallace scooped up a loose ball and hit a 60-foot buzzer- beater to force overtime, then added another key 3 to help the Pistons defeat the Denver Nuggets 113-109 Monday. The Nuggets appeared to have the game won as they prepared to inbound the ball at midcourt with a 98-95 lead and 1.5 seconds to play. Marcus Camby's short pass, though, was tipped by Tayshaun Prince, and Wallace threw up a desperation two-handed set shot that banked in as the buzzer sounded. "We shoot those all the time before the game," Wallace said. "This one went in, but it isn't like it won a championship or anything." Wallace tried to claim that he called the bank shot, but was drowned out by the jeers of his teammates. "OK, I'm lying about that," he said with a laugh. "But I'll take it either way."</div> Source
Rediculous shot. I've seen it a 100 times but still cracks me up to see it bank it and to hear George Blaha yell "OHHHH, YES, YES, YES, YES, SHEEEED STICKS IT!!" man I love that guy...

Hunter, one of the genuine good guys in the NBA if not all of sports, has an offer on the table to join the Pistons front office after the season and says he is likely to take it. Hunter has been a valuable role player throughout his 14-year career. He averaged 9.0 points and 2.8 assists while collecting championship rings with the Lakers and Pistons. The NBA needs more players like Hunter and if he does choose to retire, he will be missed.</div> Source: SI.com
What do all these guys end up doing in the front office anyway? It's one thing joining a team as an assistant coach or something..Joining the front office is just a lazy assed job.
