**SPEAKER_1** (0:00)
This is a one in a million game winner. This is a one in a million dunk.
This is a one in a million block. And these are one in a million NBA moments. At first, Paul George picked the worst time for a wedgie.

**Stephen A. Smith** (0:14)
Paul George, this could tie it. Oh, a wedgie, four times to get it.

**SPEAKER_1** (0:21)
But one in a million can also be painful, because Kyrie tore his ACL.

**SPEAKER_3** (0:25)
Banging knees, knee to knee on the right leg, and the left leg was clamped.

**SPEAKER_1** (0:30)
And still made two free throws.

**SPEAKER_3** (0:33)
2.35 left in the first quarter.

**SPEAKER_1** (0:35)
But this next player took game winners to a whole nother level, because the Pacers were down three, with only 3.9 seconds left, when Tyrese Halliburton did this.

**Gilbert Arenas** (0:45)
He's got the ball, Halliburton runs his own.

**SPEAKER_5** (0:48)
Still a foul, and again, the Pacers, the lead, Halliburton does.

**SPEAKER_1** (0:52)
But sometimes players look like amateurs, like the time Killian Hayes made the worst jump shot in NBA history.

**SPEAKER_5** (0:58)
Killian Hayes creates some baglives.

**SPEAKER_1** (1:01)
Man, that shit was ass. But this next one was out for violence, because Shaq blocked a shot straight through the television.

**SPEAKER_6** (1:08)
Chapman comes in deep, all the way.

**Gilbert Arenas** (1:10)
Shaq blocks it, he hit it so hard, the light from it went out.

**SPEAKER_1** (1:13)
But some NBA teams do the impossible, because the Bulls were down 5 with 12 seconds remaining, when we got to witness a one in a million ending.

**SPEAKER_3** (1:21)
Big pass to Williams, big shot for three, good.

**Stephen A. Smith** (1:34)
Those are a lot of timeouts, two seconds left, Gidey for the win. Oh my God, I cannot believe this.

**SPEAKER_1** (1:44)
I don't know which was better, the ending or the announcers. But what I do know is that Jason Tatum made the craziest move this NBA season, as he turned in to Reynaldo in the middle of the game.

**SPEAKER_7** (1:54)
Collier threw it right to Tatum with a head of steam behind the back.

**Stephen A. Smith** (2:00)
Oh yeah, give it an assist! How about that for vision?

**SPEAKER_1** (2:03)
Ain't no way the refs watched that and still allowed it, but pay attention to Clint Capello on this play, because he's about to make a steal without looking. There's nowhere to go with that.

**SPEAKER_6** (2:13)
Oh, look at the steal. With the right hand.

**SPEAKER_1** (2:16)
That was unbelievable, but this next moment is one in a billion, because Victor Webinyama made a block without jumping.

**Stephen A. Smith** (2:23)
Over and around defenders. Oh, my goodness!

**SPEAKER_6** (2:27)
I don't think I've ever seen a block like that before.

**SPEAKER_1** (2:30)
There's no way he's real, and neither is Nikolaj Jokic, because his one in a million moment set the record for the fastest foul ever.

**SPEAKER_7** (2:37)
And we're set.

**SPEAKER_1** (2:40)
But look, some NBA players do the unthinkable, because Spencer Dimwitty once scored in the most bizarre way possible.

**SPEAKER_7** (2:47)
Dipped out again and up and in by Dimwitty. 12 points for Dimwitty.

**SPEAKER_1** (2:53)
But Javontae Green took accidental buckets to the max, because he had no idea what he was doing.

**SPEAKER_6** (2:58)
The Bulls, Green got to the passing lane. Dosubu trying to find him.

**Stephen A. Smith** (3:02)
Oh my goodness.

**SPEAKER_1** (3:03)
But look, this next moment might be one in a billion, because during the game between the Pistons and the Timberwolves, one fight ended up with seven players being ejected.

**LeBron James** (3:12)
Man, oh come on now.

**SPEAKER_6** (3:19)
Big time roll now in the front row.

**Stephen A. Smith** (3:22)
It's going to take a lot to break this up.

**SPEAKER_1** (3:24)
Who can't play in that craziness? Just ask Steph Curry, because he couldn't even stop himself from throwing in threes.

**SPEAKER_6** (3:29)
Now who's going to go to the rim? It's Igadala. It's a tip.
Steph threw it in. You can't do that.

**LeBron James** (3:35)
But he threw it perfectly if Igadala could have gotten an angle on it.

**SPEAKER_1** (3:40)
But look, some one in a million shots just don't look real, because Robin Lopez took everyone to the circus.

**SPEAKER_6** (3:45)
Here he is again. Whoa, Lopez!

**Stephen A. Smith** (3:48)
Are you serious?

**SPEAKER_1** (3:50)
How the hell did he even come up with that idea? But he wasn't the only one who went backwards. I mean, Scoot Henderson pulled up from half court without a clue what was going on.

**Gilbert Arenas** (3:58)
He's going to get a good shot from the back court.
