    First one is .9.


    The Wave is the best I can come up with for this one.

    All great players have that moment. Unfortuantely, 2 have happened to us (The Shrug and the Shaq-Kobe alley-oop).

    This is going to need a poll.

    Exactly. We can can get a consensus top 10 and vote from there. Make it so.

    This was discussed in another thread too. Some suggestions have been:
    • 37
    • "Bye-bye"
    • The "Bad" shot (a la Paul George's post-game comments)
    Personally, I think I like 37.

    Logo Lillard is another possiblity but that's more of a nickname.

    The Logo

    More importantly, I don't think we can call the Houston game winner "the shot" anymore...

    I like them all, ha ha. 37 is good but I like Logo better and it fits with his now permanent recent nickname of Logo Lillard. Bye Bye, The Wave, and The "Bad" Shot are all good too.

    I couldn't imagine a moment being cooler than Dame grabbing the mic and yelling "Riiiiip Ciiityyyyyyyyyyyy" but to just give a little good bye wave instead of going crazy is freaking classic.

    My vote is The Bad Shot, but a half-serious suggestion would be OKCya. Kinda fits with the wave buh-bye.

    It's really the only perfect choice.

    Walking the perimeter and working with the fans was pretty epic too. Wish I could think of a way to bring that in to the nomenclature.

    My early favorite is "The Wave".

    I do think that The Bad Shot is the most unique to the particular circumstances leading up to, and after, the shot.
