**SPEAKER_1** (0:00)
Kissing opponents, million-dollar shots, and getting poster three times in one game? But first, Jared Dulley shoots the wrong way.

**SPEAKER_2** (0:08)
Oh, we've seen that happen on a free throw. We have.

**SPEAKER_1** (0:12)
Dang, that's low-key impressive, yet this next moment is high-key ridiculous.

**SPEAKER_4** (0:20)
Andrew gets a valley alley drop.

**SPEAKER_5** (0:22)
Oh, what an unbelievable shot.

**SPEAKER_1** (0:28)
Although it's still not as crazy as Taj Gibson.

**SPEAKER_6** (0:31)
At Notre Dame, showing off that. Wicked up on the deflection by Taj.

**SPEAKER_7** (0:35)
Good, and it goes!

**SPEAKER_5** (0:37)
He got it! What a shot by Taj Gibson!

**SPEAKER_1** (0:43)
But if Jamie Lamb teaches us anything, it's that you should always believe in yourself.

**SPEAKER_5** (0:48)
Giacom disrupts it.
Oh my! It goes! It goes! A desperation free from Lamb.

**SPEAKER_1** (1:03)
Lesson learned. Always trust yourself. Either that or mess with the backboard.

**SPEAKER_6** (1:07)
KCP drives baseline, and the ball just came out of its hand.

**SPEAKER_8** (1:12)
And Trez commits the foul to stop the break.

**SPEAKER_1** (1:15)
But does it get any more fun than your first ever three-pointer?

**SPEAKER_2** (1:20)
Simmons from three!

**SPEAKER_9** (1:22)
For the first time in his career.

**SPEAKER_1** (1:26)
Damn, that's so inspirational. I almost shed a tear. But now, let's transition to the other sideline king, Kyrie Irving.

**SPEAKER_2** (1:37)
Oh no!

**SPEAKER_1** (1:39)
Oh no!

**SPEAKER_2** (1:40)
Oh!

**SPEAKER_1** (1:41)
Yo, that's still in another man's dignity. Although, at least it's better than getting panced by yourself. Dang, this feels like a gym class all over again, which reminds me, every class has one kid who's faster, stronger, and more athletic than everyone else. Something tells me Yanez was that kid.

**SPEAKER_4** (1:58)
Here's Middleton.

**SPEAKER_10** (1:58)
Yanez trailing the lob.

**SPEAKER_1** (2:04)
He already won the genetic lottery. Now this? But in the end, it's George Hill with the last laugh.

**SPEAKER_4** (2:09)
In position.

**SPEAKER_1** (2:11)
Hill dribbling.

**SPEAKER_8** (2:15)
Absolutely crazy that he put it in.

**SPEAKER_1** (2:19)
Just like one could assume how Stephen Adams feels about this shot.

**SPEAKER_5** (2:21)
It'll be Stephen Adams. They give him Stephen Adams.

**SPEAKER_2** (2:23)
And, wow! The one-hander from half court.

**SPEAKER_6** (2:28)
I was gonna say, that's the second percent is busted after they've given him.

**SPEAKER_1** (2:31)
Sheesh! If anyone deserves that, it's him. Unlike Gary Payton, who doesn't deserve anything after he almost committed the worst crime to basketball, that was a close call. Let's hope MJ doesn't take it personally, which brings us to a moment that I wouldn't wish upon my worst enemy, the time Mike Hoeven airballed a three on national television.

**SPEAKER_6** (2:49)
Mike Hoeven throws up an air ball, and you see the stunned crowd.

**SPEAKER_1** (2:55)
The catch? The shot was worth one million dollars. Don't worry, kid. Ben Simmons would have done the same thing. Yet, Hoeven isn't the only one going through it. Imagine getting called for the fastest foul in NBA history.

**SPEAKER_4** (3:06)
And we're set. And a loose ball foul to start this one.

**SPEAKER_1** (3:11)
Well, I be damned. It's hard to focus with horses on your mind. Speaking of which, I also can't keep it together. But it's not because of Nicola Jokic. It's because of Steph Curry.
I mean, how is this not inspirational? But not all Curry moments are so inspirational. And in 2017, Curry found himself on the wrong side of a fast brake, staring down a seven-foot monster. That's when he had to make a difficult decision.

**SPEAKER_3** (3:42)
The steal. Takes all the way with Curry just looking to get out of the way.

**SPEAKER_1** (3:52)
Roe dodged a bullet, but not all players are as fortunate. And 13 years ago, the NBA witnessed something much bigger than basketball, the time we almost lost Carmelo Anthony. That's when things got really scary.

**SPEAKER_10** (4:02)
We rise together.

**SPEAKER_9** (4:05)
Anthony checked by Garand.

**SPEAKER_6** (4:08)
He thinks that he falls down, and he travels.

**SPEAKER_3** (4:11)
Intercepts the pass.

**SPEAKER_6** (4:13)
Anthony out on the floor.

**SPEAKER_5** (4:14)
What is he doing?

**SPEAKER_6** (4:19)
Another plan around it.

**SPEAKER_1** (4:20)
Wow, the refs just crossed the line. And if you think that's bad, imagine fouling yourself.

**SPEAKER_11** (4:25)
Yeah, that's Monk. Savonis.

**SPEAKER_10** (4:32)
Look at the space between the bodies. There literally is no contact there.

**SPEAKER_1** (4:38)
Is it too late to start questioning the process? But it's one thing to call an imaginary foul. It's another to go into UFC mode.

**SPEAKER_3** (4:47)
Over to J-Mac.

**SPEAKER_7** (4:52)
I mean, does J-Mac catch a foot?

**SPEAKER_4** (4:55)
Oh, that's crazy.

**SPEAKER_1** (4:57)
Yo, Israel Adesanya better be taking notes. But now, let's transition from a knockdown blow to the ultimate fist blow.
