2681854, I've heralded that shot many times - but let's be clear: Posted by Vex_id, Fri Dec-14-18 12:07 PM
that shot did not "win the title" all by itself - nor did it "save Lebron's legacy" like so many Skipy Bayless simps purport. Did Steve Kerr or Paxson "save Jordan's legacy?" Did Horry "save Kobe's legacy"? No - they did what role players and/or accompanying stars do: make big shots in big moments. They would never be in a position to make those shots if Jordan/Kobe/LeBron didn't will them to that moment with individual greatness.
So yes - it was an epic, all-time great shot by Ky - and he deserves all the credit for making it (right in Curry's grill) - but if it wasn't for the greatest 3-game stretch in NBA Finals History that Bron had (in Games 5, 6 & 7) - there would be no potential for that moment.
