Which one was more impressive?

Well, the block shot sequence ended up being a waste so I'll go with the game saver.

it looks like im the only one who voted for the block. the reason i voted for it is the irony. james has made it a point, a public point, to focus on those kind of blocks this season. he has been doing very well too. i have to laugh at this because now he gets the same kind of block on himself.

That Korver's block play King James traveled big time... he's usually allowed 3 steps... ans sometimes even 4 steps... ala Olajuwon....

Without a doubt, the shot. Unbelievable shot, you don't see that ever happen in a game, let alone in that type of situation

How many steps is that?

i think looking at both plays individually without noticing what happened before and after each play, i like the block more. With the situation he was put in for the shot, the block doesnt have **** on it.

Kyles shot was huuuuge, and you really can't ignore how he set the Jazz up to win with it. Shot wins.

We see blocks every game. May be because this one was against James it values more.

On the other hand, a shot like that, with so much pressure on Korver (it would be diferent if it was in the first quarter, for instance).

I think the shot is the winner in this pool, without a question.

So is the play of this guy seriously encouraging to anyone else? He isn't defending particularly well on the ball, but he is still hustling hard and is just blazing his shots. I'm sure he will cool down at some point, but the rate at which he is shooting the ball is just awesome at this point. He is doing what we got him to do. Now if he can stay healthy for the rest of the season, I think we have a different tale to the second half.
