March Madness

I know it's old news, but did anyone miss the shooting-from-the-ass shot from the Minnesota state finals for boys' basketball?

I have been thinking about it a lot and I would argue that it is the greatest shot EVER made in basketball. Think of the context of the whole play. It may not be the most amazing shot, but it's the greatest because even Hollywood wouldn't expect us to believe a shot like that could happen. If some director choreographed that play for the end of a Disney movie we'd all be rolling our eyes saying, "Yeah right, like taht would ever happen in real life."

The frustrating thing is my sister was visiting from Texas and we were watching the NCAA Tourney (Go Red Raiders!). I didn't think she'd want to be bored by watching Minnesota high school sports. On a few occasions I was tempted to switch over to the Hopkins/Eastview game but changed my mind. Damn! If I just done it once, we would have seen how close the game was and we would have seen the shot.

Maybe next time.

Oh yeah, a play like that in a championship game happens only once in a lifetime.
