What is the craziest NBA shot ever? 

Post#1 » by KyleH186 » Fri May 23, 2008 8:39 pm

My vote is between Ben Wallace's:

and

Isiah Rider's:

on a sidenote, I came across this which is by far the craziest basketball shot ive ever seen, but not necessarily NBA:

This Rider shot was the one that popped into my mind before I even opened the thread.

Funny thing about Mo's, Big Ben's, and Sheed's shots is that they all happened within the same week [I think].

Rasheed Wallace towards the end of last season I think, not really the shot but the play in general. It was against Denver, Pistons were down by 3, 1.5 seconds on the clock, Denver is inbounding, Tayshaun Prince stole it and tipped it to Rasheed, he launched it from 3/4 court and it went in, Pistons won in OT.

Probably the only thing to be remembered in the NBA ( in a positive way ) of Zoran Planinic our 2003 first round pick . :(

Yea i don't think i've ever seen a shot as crazy as the J.R. Rider shot, and we probably never will, unless someone like gets a rebound and then just hucks it over their head backwards and it goes in (full court) lol.

Rodmans jump ball was the one that came to mind

but now I would have to agree it is Rider's shot...and that Iverson one was badass.
