What other player has done what Kobe has 4th+OT??? 

Post#1 » by Mamba Venom » Sun Aug 30, 2009 8:34 am

What other player has done what Kobe has even once??? (really I don't know)

Specifically hitting a buzzer beater to force the game into OT, and then hitting a second buzzer beater to win the game.

Kobe has done this twice that I can think of.

The first time was the last game of the 2004 reg season vs. Portland to gain home court.

Then Kobe did it in the play-offs vs. the Suns

Has anyone else done this? Did I miss any other games like this? Maybe the Lakers vs. Nuggets were like this too?

I remember reggie miller has done it against the nets or the celtics. Robert horry and fisher has make a lot of win shots but im not sure he has done the same "4th+ot"...

I bet you somebody in that Celtics Bulls series last season did. I would guess Ray Allen and Ben Gordon could have done it. Rashard Lewis for the Magic might have done it too.

I think quite a few players have done it in history. It's not that uncommon at all to force OT then hit the game winner.

Probably quite a few players, but the list narrows if you only look at players who both hit a 3 to force overtime and then hit a 3 to win the game (like Kobe did against the Blazers) I guess if you're looking for rarity.

Carter did it vs. Toronto last season with an open dunk I think.

Did Kobe do it against other teams?

Miller was scary as hell if it was close in the 4th...

It's like he couldn't miss if he was under pressure...

But I don't know about specifically to tie and win in OT...

Vince Carter hit a three to send the game to overtime..and an alley oop to win it in overtime.
