Luckiest "shot" ever. Still pretty crazy though.

It reminds me somewhat of Rex Chapman's amazing shot.

Rex Chapman was a CLUTCH player. I wasn't a huge Suns fan back then, but if you were rooting for the other team, I know you didn't want the ball in that dude's hands. Is that how you guys remember him, or was he just a streaky shooter, i.e. J.R. Smith, who killed us so many times while he was on the Nuggets, but most of the time he's not all that special? Honestly, Im just curious how longer-time Suns fans viewed Rex.

This is how I remember Rex Chapman... as a clutch player. His shooting percentages, however, were not that great. See link below.

Too bad the Suns lost that game in overtime.

It's funny, I don't think much about losing that game after Rex Chapman made that amazing shot. For me, that memory lives unto itself.

I never watch the Suns triple OT loss to the Celtics as that memory still hurts.

I remember Rex being a Warwickesque defender. He seemed to have a reasonable bball IQ on the offensive end but on defense he was lost. Yeah, he was clutch shooter at times but he was streaky and shot us out of some games, too. Overall I thought the team would be better off without him - he didn't raise his game in the playoffs, for one thing.

Yep, you can't call them best shots ever as they are lucky shots. Chapman's was skill though.
