This is one of my favorite laker moments all time!!

[@crb4059]

I was a Laker fan living in SA when this shot pierced the hearts of all Spurs fans that night, I reveled in glee. The Lakers dominated after that before losing to Pistons.

[@aaronwin33]

Gregg Popovich was the only one who didn't celebrate. Smart man, he knew Kobe/Fisher were on the other side and he knew what they were capable of

I will never forget this game

Greatest clapback in NBA history

I remember this game.. Amazing shot Fish!

[@Timasion]

Still one of the most incredible endings in NBA history. They left out Kobe Bryant's shot right before Tim Duncan's was incredible.

Naw its fishers time to shine on this clip. Kobe gets enough already but no one ever appreciates my favorite nba player ever! D FISH BABY THE TRUE 5 TIME CHAMP GOAT!! KOBE couldnt win any without fisher thats all im saying

[@joshuafult84]

This isn’t 2004 quality lmao

[@JokersRWildStudios]

Let's think about this: Duncan and the Spurs were a Derek Fisher 0.4 shot and a Ray Allen miracle 3 from winning 6 and possibly 7 titles in 15 years. Additionally since Shaq left. Duncan has been to more finals and won more rings than Kobe. Yet clowns think Kobe is better than Timmy even though he takes 24 million a year from the Lakers and pretty much seals his fate for never winning a 6th ring. Meanwhile the Spurs take pay cuts in order to win more championships. Duncan>Shaq>LeBron>>>>>Kobe

[@RodJVon]

They both have 5 rings sir and Kobe will go down in history as a better player than Duncan, whether he is or isn't.

[@dtox12]

Your argument failed when you tried to compare kobe and duncan. They are both pure greatness in their own fashion.

[@krierp8]

And don't forget Dirk Nowitzki 3 point play against the Spurs in 06, when Manu fouled him when he shouldn't have to. The Spurs would have beaten the Suns in 6, and the Heat in 5, and would have won the championship that year. The five-peat was taken away from us.

[@johnnyrevels6627]

Consider the fact that Duncan had stability throughout his entire career. One coach, one system. He's played with the same core year in and year out, only replacing role players. Kobe has played for 6 or 7 coaches, meaning 6 or 7 systems. If you don't think systems matter, look at Steve Nash's career. Kobe has done more with more to juggle. Pay cuts mean nothing. Clown.

[@javierlandaverde8680]

@ royal Tim Duncan led them to 3 championships? nope, 5 dude

[@stlopez17]

One of my Golden memories on this earth.

[@Una2Cold]

I was 12 years old staying up late on the east coast to watch this game with my dad. I remember being so drawn into the moment and the end of the game was almost slow motion for me. I remember him catching and turning in one motion, the ball going through the net and Fisher running into the tunnel. Ever since then every once and awhile I search for Fishers .4 second game winner and watch it again like I’m 12 years old sitting in my basement... What a shot

[@marinobrea6837]

Every shot made with less than a second that is not a single tap on the ball is total bullshit. The only way these shots are valid is because they don't start the clock as soon as the ball touches the player's hands. There's no way anyone can grab a ball, jump and release it in less than a second. Impossible. When they started the clock Fisher had already wasted like 2 seconds getting in position, lol. Even in this horrible 2 pixel video you can see it. Not until he's already in shooting motion the clock starts running.

[@alexaguilar7019]

Ray Allen shoots the ball as fast as .6 seconds And I think curry in .5 so it's possible . It's been tested look it up:)

[@michaelgalante4308]

i think you're a dumb ass thats all

[@PhillipG34]

I think u just hate the lakers

[@RGlennChicago]

Incorrect. Sorry. It is very possible.

[@PhillipG34]

By rule you can catch and shoot with .3 or .4 left on the clock I cant remember. But .2 an .1 u need to tip it in.

[@JDefoe1882]

Just take stopwatch in your hand and do 0,4 seconds... You will see how impossible it is. No way you can catch, turn around and shoot.

[@JDefoe1882]

I tired to measure it in slow motion frame after frame and it took 0,83 seconds.

[@NICEDOPPY]

it takes 0.37 before the ball go out of his hands....maybe close to 0,81 seconds to land right on the basket...the play is clean valid!...not like lakers but u know considering that game at the end just like shaq said after all (...one lucky shot deserves another"....

[@BLT1967too]

It really isn't impossible, but you are right that he didn't manage it quite in 0.4 seconds. However: (a) The clock started about 0.1 to 0.2 seconds after Fisher touched the ball-an entirely ordinary delay-and that *was* enough for him to get the ball off before the buzzer; and (b) Duncan's shot went through the bottom of the net with 0.7 to 0.8 seconds left-the clock should have stopped there, and Fisher's motion definitely did not take that much time, your 0.83 second measurement notwithstanding. One must be very careful to identify which frame shows Fisher touching the ball for the first time; this requires analysis of at least two angles. I did a frame-by-frame count, and posted it on my blog. It's about 0.55 seconds, give or take a few hundredths. (I think it's a few hundredths shorter, but I'm a Lakers fan, so I tack on a few hundredths of a second to correct for bias.) There's nowhere enough time resolution without the Phantom camera (not in use in this play) to get anything like the hundredth-of-a-second precision you claim. thenullhypodermic.blogspot.com/2009/06/infamous-fisher-04-shot.html

[@JDefoe1882]

he could shoot under 0,4 seconds if he stood still looking at the basket and started shooting immediately after he got the ball. But he took a step, turned around and shot with a high release. No way that is even under 0,8 seconds... I might be wrong but commons sense tells me you can't do as many motions so quick. It doesn't even look that quick to be honest. The best way of testing it would be in a gym.. there you would see how impossible that motion is in such a short time if you try it yourself.

[@BLT1967too]

There's no need to speculate. Just look at the video analysis. As I said, he didn't get it off in 0.4 seconds; he got it off in about 0.5 to 0.55 seconds. He also should have had more than 0.55 seconds to do it in. It's in hard video evidence. No need for a gym. ETA: I play basketball, too. You can make the motion in half a second. Probably a pro could do it faster. He's not going through each of the motions sequentially.

[@ryan49er1]

This was never a controversial shot. Stop trying to be one of the few who try to make that argument.

[@HoxFeesh]

I didn't know who was watching this game in my apartment complex until he made that shot. We all yelled in surprised unison. What a crazy 3 minutes of ball.

[@DodgerFan1988]

[@raferalstonisgoat4457]

[@JohnRambo7910]

0.4s is totally a joke. It should not be counted at all. The clock started after Fisher got the ball and jumped for a large step.

[@boricuafrican1]

JohnRambo7910, is the clock supposed to start before he gets the ball?

I remember seeing duncan making that shot and being ticked so I went up stairs to bush my teeth. I came back down to get some water and when I did I saw the game was still on so I walked towards the TV. About half way to it, Fisher makes the shot and my tooth brush goes flying and I am screaming, "HE MADE, HE MADE IT!!!" With tooth paste flying out of my mouth. Those are the memories you will NEVER forget. BEAT OKC!!!

This was the BEST geame ever against the Lakers & Spurs in the 2000s! As a Lakers fan I have much respect for the Spurs & their 4 titles from 99-07. Thats 1 thing the bulls in the 90s never had to worry about. From 99 to 2005 it was all Lakers & Spurs. You knew none of those 90s teams would beat the bulls in the playoffs. Thats why since 98, only the Lakers & Spurs have qon multiple titles.
