Speakers: James Harden
**SPEAKER_1** (0:00)
Curry, way down top, bang, bang!

**SPEAKER_2** (0:03)
These are legendary last-minute moments. And first up, it's time to give Unibrow his flowers. Trying to disrupt Rondo, he puts it in.

**SPEAKER_3** (0:13)
Here's Davis, 4-3 in the wind.

**SPEAKER_4** (0:14)
Oh, it's gone! Anthony Davis has won it for the Lakers!

**SPEAKER_2** (0:19)
A game-winning buzzer beater in the playoffs? Man, that's almost as legendary as our 19th moment. The time Devin Booker told the whole world, I'm him.

**SPEAKER_1** (0:29)
Calvin, 6-to-play. Booker, this is for the win.

**SPEAKER_4** (0:36)
Got it! Wow!
What a shot by Devin Booker, right there.

**SPEAKER_2** (0:44)
The spin, the dagger, and the celly? This man's dangerous. LeBron woke up feeling sloppy, because this man really had a chance to put the game away and disappeared like post-retirement Tim Duncan.

**SPEAKER_6** (0:57)
Expect him to put his head down and get to the basket.

**SPEAKER_7** (0:59)
Chain's weaving, driving, moving, no hand.

**SPEAKER_5** (1:02)
Way up, no food!

**SPEAKER_7** (1:04)
LeBron missed!

**SPEAKER_5** (1:05)
LeBron missed!

**SPEAKER_6** (1:07)
Dang.

**SPEAKER_2** (1:07)
How's this man going to call himself the Chosen One? When he's out here bricking layups. It turns out, I'm the one who owes LeBron an apology. Because this man passed up the easiest shot of his career, just to show the world his greatness.

**SPEAKER_5** (1:20)
Whoa.

**SPEAKER_7** (1:23)
The lead is three.

**SPEAKER_5** (1:25)
Love, LeBron, and got it! Bakes it in!

**SPEAKER_4** (1:33)
I told you, Kevin, you gotta card that man.

**SPEAKER_1** (1:36)
He just hit three three-pointers earlier in the game.

**SPEAKER_7** (1:39)
That looked like Christian Leitner.

**SPEAKER_2** (1:45)
Wow, Roe really had everyone fooled, but James Harden had no one fooled. See, this man isn't a system player. He is the system.

**James Harden** (1:53)
I'm not a system player. I am a system.

**SPEAKER_2** (1:55)
But real talk, this dude was a different breed in Houston. So when the game was on the line, it wasn't a matter of who was getting the ball, it was a matter of when.

**SPEAKER_7** (2:03)
Cheryl Green to inbound. Harden trying to get three.
Down to three, down to two, it's a three.

**SPEAKER_5** (2:09)
Good! Good! He got it!

**SPEAKER_7** (2:14)
James Harden, a flamethrower!

**SPEAKER_2** (2:17)
Two defenders were all over this man, and he still hit the shot in their face, which is almost as cold as what Reggie Miller once did. See, everyone knows the Bulls were the team to beat in the 90s. They won six championships in eight years. But what if I told you their last dance almost ended with the ultimate L? Because in 1998, the Bulls had to get past Miller's Pacers, and bro wasn't going down easy, because the Bulls thought they had the series in the bag, up 2-1 and three seconds away from a 3-1 lead. Everyone thought this series was over, but the Bulls made one costly mistake. They gave Reggie Miller three seconds. Three seconds too many.

**SPEAKER_6** (2:56)
He gets it in the middle for the win!

**SPEAKER_4** (3:01)
Four tenths of a second!

**SPEAKER_6** (3:02)
He's going to come off one screen, gives Michael a bump and he lets it go!

**SPEAKER_2** (3:08)
It doesn't get any better than Kong against Michael Jordan. However, another player called game when the lights were even brighter. See, the Celtics had no room for error, because against Jimmy Butler, you make one mistake and it's already game over. But with just two minutes remaining, time was running out for Jimmy Buckets. The heat were down seven, but Celtic fans weren't celebrating yet, because they've learned the hard way that this man can turn the impossible to possible in the blink of an eye.

**SPEAKER_5** (3:36)
Butler with a long shot of three.

**SPEAKER_7** (3:47)
Butler catches his way inside.

**SPEAKER_2** (3:56)
The excitement was rising, and the fans were electric. You knew this game was slipping away from the Celtics, but all they needed was one more stop, and the series would come to a do-or-die game seven. But to do that, they had to stop the man who couldn't be stopped.

**SPEAKER_7** (4:17)
To time.

**SPEAKER_2** (4:23)
And at this point, it was only a ticking time bomb until Miami was off to the NBA Finals. When the Celtics inbounded the ball with three seconds remaining, you just got the feeling that Miami was going to finish the game, especially when Marcus Smart was shooting the final shot. Dang, man, this game's over. I mean, look at these guys.
Yeah, Pro got married, and his favorite team was heading off to the finals. But those fans turned off the game one second too soon, because until the game hits triple zero, anything is possible.
