But he's at a 45 degree angle from the basket, D Wade wearing him like a bad toupee....and everyone knows who's going to shoot the ball.....and he still does it. I think Kobe is one of the most underappreciated athletes in the game, because as good as he is, people really don't appreciate just how good he is, day in and day out, how often he hits the big shots. Just incredible.

The shot was pure luck, but pure genius all at the same time. What no one seems to mention or to have noticed about the shot was that Kobe had to split a fronting double just to c atch the ball. Dude's desire is off the charts. Even if he had made the FT, Kobe would have sent the game into OT. The shot was pure luck, but pure genius all at the same time.

Wade opened the door for Miami to lose this game by going 1-2 at the line just before this shot. Everyone knew Kobe was going to win that game after Wade missed that free throw. Charity begins at home. One of the big statistical differences between Wade and Kobe is free throw shooting percentage.

YES! I was watching this game last night…and I saw Wade step his game up to another level, and then Beans did what he does best…make shots, and win games. YES!
