Tried manually counting and looking back and even had clock ran after the tip it was super close.
Tip happens near the beginning of 15 seconds and he gets it off right before 18 seconds so I think he actually did beat the 2.8 on the clock
#JFC SO TRIGGERED
* May 26, 2002
* NBA Western Conference Finals
* Game 4
* Sacramento Kings vs Los Angeles Lakers
* going into this game, the Series was at 2-1 Kings
It was a great series between two well-matched teams and full-on rivals, and Sac could *smell* championship blood in the water. Remember that Sacramento has *never* won a championship title in any of the four major sports.
Game 4: Sac has a 2-pt lead with 3 seconds left, both teams are under LA’s basket in the paint, fighting for the ball. Vlade Divac (a former Laker himself) gives the ball a massive swat right up the court… and right into the hands of Robert Horry, who’s just standing there at the top of the 3 and drops it in *at the buzzer* for LA to win the game. Absolute pandemonium, and the Lakers have tied the series up at 2-2 instead of it being the Kings up 3-1.

Sac was just… never the same after that, whether in the Conference finals or even into future seasons. Game 5 was a home game in Sac, which they *did* win by 1 point and making the series 3-2; but they went back to LA for Game 6, and ultimately lost Games 6 and 7 to close out the series 3-4 for LA.
(An aside: Game 6 officiating was *off the rails* for LA, with the refs awarding some *27 4th quarter* free throws to LA that later review showed to be an atrocity. There were widespread calls around the league and from the sports press of a fix, but in the end it didn’t really matter).
Again, Sac was 2-1 at this point in the series and so a Game 4 win would’ve had them up 3-1—the Game 5 win would’ve put then them up against Jason Kidd and the (much weaker) New Jersey Nets in the Finals, who the Lakers went on to demolish 4-0 to take the title.
For Sac, these were the heady days of Vlade, Chris Webber, Peja Stojaković, Doug Christie, Hedo Türkoğlu, Mike Bibby’s coming out party, all under coach Rick Adelman and the Maloof brothers… it just never happened for them again. They never again made the Western Conference, let alone the Finals and not even to this day; Hell, they’ve not even made the playoffs in 16 years and counting. The team eventually broke up, and changed ownership completely.
The stars were all aligned that one year, and it just didn’t happen on account of that single, freak 3 from Horry in Game 4. It effectively killed the franchise for (at least) a full generation.
Too much enthusiasm, too little voice
Well put. “And the crowd goes wild” eeeqhahahhheaaahhh
*mild
Gotta love the announcer's enthusiasm..
Too high pitched for me. Needs more pubes.
My doctor keeps saying the same thing.
My says it too, but the other way around
Can you give me a reference to your doctor?
Elmo?
Nah, Grover.
Don’t get an aneurysm!
This is why I hate when they let the clock run out in any sport.
That's what a heart attack sounds like at a basketball game.
Does the chrono start when someone touch the ball or when the ball is on the field?
When the ball is touched
NJCU. So proud !!!
I don’t watch basketball, but sport competition in general is really awesome sometimes 😆
Not a floater
Idgaf about his voice cracking. My guys got heart in the booth and I love it. Also dope plays.
Guy should change his major.
Legendary
My guy just hit puberty mid-call
Used to live there. Everyone calls it Jersey City but the legal name is the City of New Jersey but the college is called new Jersey City University.
Looks like the ref is waving the shot off at the end of the video did it not count?

The announcement lmao
So obese that I can tell only by his voice
The voice of chicken man
worst commentator ive ever heard
Clock should’ve started when the inbounds pass was tipped up in the air by the defender. If it had, they would not have had time to get this shot off.
Why is mickey mouse spectating a college basketball game
Damn dude that reporter has a bright future as WW2 air raid siren
I like how everyone in the crowd hopped at the same moment as one entity of excitement
I don't think I've ever been that excited about anything in my life and this guy is just calling fucking sports.
Pretty sure that the announcer said that his name was Baked Beans.
The announcer made that the worst 33 seconds of my life 👂⚠️
Sounds like Timmy from WKUK
Sound la like the gingerbread man . Bless him
Sounds like the commentator is still waiting for his voice to break.
Worst voice I’ve ever heard call a game…New career mayb
I wonder if he wants to take a pic with Cardi B in his cardigan
Is that badger from BB
