When A MISSED Free Throw Causes CHAOS At The Buzzer...

These are the most important buckets that came after a missed free throw in NBA history. In 1999, the Lakers were down by 2 points to the Warriors with less than 2 seconds on the clock. Shaq was ejected long before due to a scuffle, but young Kobe wheeled his team right back into it with some spectacular shots. I'm pretty sure the fact that Michael Jordan was in attendance had something to do with it. Regardless, Glenn Rice steps on the line and… Afro Kobe flies in from the 3 point line and sends the game into overtime. Bryan scored 25 of his 27 points in the second half to finish the Warriors in front of their Speaking of hazardous, I gotta show you this iconic dunk off of Pippen's free throw miss. Other than stylistic points, that was just a random mid-game dunk. What JaVale McGee did on this one was much more important. JaVale waits for the ball to bounce once again before throwing it down in the rim, securing the win for the Nuggets eventually. However, last season, Denver found themselves on the receiving end of a missed free throw madness. Stone Cold Reeves pulls off one of the most chaotic game tying sequences in recent history. That's a perfect execution of an impossible situation, and he didn't forget to thank the basketball for bouncing his way. In OT, the Lakers had one last trick left in their magic bag. This time, Austin gave the ball up to Luka, who eyes the game with a beautiful fadeaway midrange over Jones. Tim Hardaway Jr. had the last shot with .5 on the clock but came up short, and the Lakers hung on for the wild win at the end. Thing is, this was just a deja vu for Luka Doncic, cause back in 2022, he orchestrated one of the craziest comebacks ever. From down 6 with less than 20 seconds to go, Luka converts the amazing end one and cuts it in half. Still, 10 seconds later, the point differential is still the same and the Mavs need a miracle. Doncic draws the foul and makes the first free throw ever so calmly, but the real tension starts now. Two Knicks defenders failed to secure the rebound before it reached the boy wonder. That was just magical. Luka finished the job in overtime, becoming the first player in NBA history to put up a 60.20 rebounds and 10 assists game. Two years prior, the Slovenian had the front seats of a similar scenario against him. Robert Covington circles around the world for the putback and ties the game, which eventually needed an extra period. And he was the guy that sunk in the dagger 3 as well, giving the Rockets the comeback win at the end. The same season, but before the pandemic hit, Houston was a part of another thriller. This time, it was James Harden who lost the rebound before it luckily ended in JB's hands, Cash. The TD Garden was rocking for the Celtics, giving them a huge boost in overtime. Regardless, this was Russell Westbrook's night. The Brodie came up with 41 points, 8 boards and 5 assists in this one. And Jalen Brown had the chance to prove his clutch genes once again, but missed the potential game winner and the Rockets survived for another close win. Before he paired with the beard, Westbrook had his fair share of heroic shots in OKC as well. Now this is an iconic shot by Russ off of a textbook execution by Adams. But many people forget that it came in vain as they lost focus on the next possession, leaving Nene all alone inside the paint for the clutch-aimed one. And although it got very close with 7 seconds left when Russ almost stole the inbounds pass, the Rockets were able to celebrate and take a 3-1 lead at the end. And here's a long-forgotten moment of the Bulls vs Wizards series back in 2005. All tied at 2 apiece, Chicago was trailing by 10 points with 40 seconds remaining in Game 5, until Janero Pargo went God Mode. The Bulls went on an electric 9-1 run in the blink of an eye to make it a ball game. So down by 3 with 9 seconds on the clock, Kirk Heinrich messed up everything by missing the first free throw. Well at least that's what everybody thought until… This has to be Pargo's best minute of basketball in his entire life. Unfortunately, it happened to be on the same exact night as Agent Zero's first game winner. Arena stuns the entire city of Chicago with the cold-blooded jumper over Heinrich completely erasing the superhuman effort by Pargo. And De'Aaron Fox looked like Superman on this one because… The Kings outscored the Timberwolves 41-22 in the 4th quarter and Bogdanovich drained a difficult fadeaway in overtime to secure the win for his team. The Sixers found themselves in the same situation against the Heat when Ben Simmons decided it's not over yet. Of course it hit the rim, I mean it just grazed it on the side but that's all that matters as Banz sends the game into extra 5 minutes. However, that didn't help them much cause Jimmy Butler gave Miami the slight edge on the free throw line and Tobias Harris failed to hit the potential game winner from the corner as the time expired. The Bucks had more luck on the road as Bobby Portis turned the Giannis miss into a cause for celebration. Bobby was the most focused of the whole bunch to get his hands on the ball and put it back in the rim of the glass. On the other end, Drew Holliday came up with an excellent defensive stop on Marcus Smart and the Bucks hung on to take a 3-2 lead in the series. Last but not least, I present to you the most important free throw miss of the century. Jokes aside, I had to finish the video on a light note with Bobby giving the fans some free chicken. On the contrary, my last video of Ron Artest's most hostile fights of his career ain't nothing to joke about.
