Sounds like a jet engine

God did not put Mykal Riley on earth to become a hall of fame basketball player or win a national championship…. God put him on Earth make a shot that saved over 2,000 lives from a tornado!

2024 and the post all star game Phillies could use a good fuckin booing right now. BOOOOOOOO

At least it was more entertaining than the game lmao

In the late 2000s i went on that platform to throw tshirts to the crowd at the first quarter break and got paid $50. I smoked cigs up there while i was waiting and i had an oz of "coca cola" and half oz of H in my pockets that i picked up in ATL otw there lol. The guy that got me the gig was also working that game... he was also one of my "customers" so he drove me to get the stuff then to the game where i met up with my people who went separately with tickets. We had season tickets that i gave to my friend and gf and her friend... I got the catwalk spot right above their seats at the 10th row of the top level. I tucked away a few shirts so i didnt try to throw any to them, i played it lagit. That catwalk was nuts tho. There was 3 different levels and we were on the lowest 2 catwalks. I was trying to hide the cigarette i had and not ash on anyone's helmets. I wasn't supposed to be able to get back in but my girl brought her ticket and one of the tickets my friends already used for me and i just acted like it was my ticket all along after leaving the office where i got paid. Sort of confusing but thats the jist of what happened. The guy who got me that gig later overdosed and passed away years later. He was a genuinely good dude who just had a problem. Sucks man.

Leaky Dome!

I remember watching this happen when I was 12 years old. What the video doesn’t capture is that the “CW21” card was all we saw for several minutes. It was scary, because without social media, there was no way to know what was going on. We just saw the static and then had to wait in silence for the broadcast to come back.

0:46 you can hear the confusion in his voice once he hears whats going on. He says without saying anything: "what is going on out there?"

"In situations like this, a dome stadium is the best possible place to -" *Broadcast cuts off*

God bless the dome and overtime game best safe place go to arenas for shelter lol

Bruh thats scary

hey, a sports event having vastly better reporting than the news offers

Tom Scott watcher incoming...

Lateral Podcast listener checking in - this is amazing. That really was such a full building of people, glad they were sheltered from the storm.

There is a video that showed the shot that made the game go into overtime and people were remarking that something seemed "off" about that shot, like the basketball should not have been able to get into the hoop the way it was thrown. Some people are speculating that there was some divine intervention going on. I'm having trouble finding that shot on KZbin now, but (IIRC) it did look a little strange to me when I saw it years ago.

Had I been in this stadium (despite avoiding large crowds) when this happened, I dont think I would ever want to set foot outside my house during a storm ever again!

I'm probably the only one who does this, but I often wonder how this guy reacted to the Birds winning the Super Bowl. Loved this guy back in the day!

Was thr scoreboard above the court moving also?

These people were lucky that tornado wasn't strong enough to destroy that dome. Eventhough it's shaking like crazy it's scary.

The tornado just wanna watch the game

The people who watched this live on tv probably skipped a heartbeat when the static went in

Best episode by far...🤣🤣🤣🤣

An ef2 tornado that’s rare to hit the stadium twc

Thats just scary

Did they realize that they were in danger?

0:47 The sounds of heavy wind made from the tornado

Sucks we lost this game but at least we saved a lot of lives this day. If he hadn't have made that shot that to go into OT, a lot of people would've died

I am so glad that Georgia dome saved all the people who arrived at the game that night

2017 it happened

I wish this dude made more videos.

Worse places one could be!

My uncle was in there lol

Whoever made the last second shot to take the game to overtime saved lives that night

Such a relief the tornado wasn't as bad as it could have been ef 2 for a normal is basically a average tornado

i guess tornadoes can be a method of march madness

Sports fans are idiots. It takes too much brain power to enjoy watching a ball bounce around. It leaves no room for common sense or to take cover.

4:40 HE WAS RIGHT?

I hated sports but loved storms and my dad was watching this game and I heard him say what's going on and I started watching lol

If smart phone weather warning apps had been then like they are now, perhaps people would've been warned even if the shot had been missed; because the warning had to have been issued before the shot that forced overtime was made. But, we will more than likely never know.

Damn 12 years ago!!! I remember this night like it was just yesterday I lived in kentucky we had storms that whole night and I remember I was like I'm going outside to play basketball in the back yard damn!! Such good times and great memories miss those days!!!

Hi

*0:35** You can hear the tornado roar*

Nice that this was filmed on a potato

There could've been an untold loss of life if the shot that forced overtime had been missed. 🏀🌪

This is a First! I have heard of Tornado Warnings stopping games (Main one I can think of was a game MLB in Colorado) but I have never heard of a basketball actually getting hit by one as play is happening, but the arena actually got somewhat damaged. I don’t even know how you would taken precaution from this

So is no one gonna talk about the fact that the tornado clearly hit before they noticed cause you can hear the roar before and these fans and people jad no idea till the tornad started shakimg the dome ceiling Imagine if the dome ripped off the amount of chaos that could of happened here

4:37, also has this ever happened during an NBA GAME And or a Basketball game since this time? Also, at 0:43 the commentators look confused at first.

“A dome stadium is the best place to...” (static)

Here is another reason I miss the Georgia Dome

I guess that most likely any Tornado could very well pick up a Basketball.
