The greatest shot in WNBA Finals history needs a deep rewind

The WNBA began with a dynasty. The Houston Comets' hand-picked, star-studded roster immediately took over the league, winning the first two championships with ease.
In 1999, following the heartrending loss of a beloved teammate, Houston appeared on pace to do it yet again. But with seconds remaining in a surprisingly close Game 2, the New York Liberty's Teresa Weatherspoon had one shot -- one halfcourt prayer -- to at least delay the three-peat.
Welcome to a moment in history.

I love the comments talking about how a last second buzzer beater from half court doesn't qualify for a rewinder video. It obviously does, because its a pivotal moment in sports history, is extremely dramatic(as buzzer beater shots tend to be), AND, while not an absolute requirement for a rewinder, it a moment a lot of us, myself included, haven't seen before. People can be as salty as they want in the comments, but as long as the stories are actually interesting(like this one)...keep 'em coming.

When you have to go play in Russia during the off-season because your league won't pay you enough and you're still willing to yank a lady's ponytail off, you've gone beyond love of the game.

@@MikeBNumba6 at the time it was simply marketed better. You had more commercials on tv, a lot of the games were nationally televised, the names in the league were already established stars grouped with up and comers. Collegiate womens basketball now has not only been poorly marketed, but so dominated by one team that its difficult to find a number of talent. Add to that the small markets that some of these teams are in and you get a league that is seemingly holding on via big brothers money. Also not helping was that your 1st big dynasty had on, sideline and off court issues....

It's almost like sometimes, you need people who are good at catching the ball if the good shooters miss, and people who can stay really close to the shooters to make harder for them to shoot, and people who can keep track of what everybody is going to do on the court so they can throw the ball at those players when they are ready to throw the ball at the hoop in an easier way than you can in that moment.

I was a Houston Comets fan from the beginning and in 1999 i was starting my first year of college out of state when this game took place. I recorded the game on my roommate's VCR and watched it back without spoilers (though my roommate did make some vague ominous comment beforehand). While the loss was shocking, looking back I give credit to T-Spoon for playing until the buzzer sounded and creating a lasting image for the ages. Weatherspoon asked the Comets Big 3 to present her in the Hall of fame a few years ago which says a lot about the love and respect they have for each other. Great thorough history of this moment by you guys and thank you so much for continuing to highlight women's basketball!

Used to work for the Detroit shock, it’s easy to make fun of the WNBA if you haven’t really ever seen them play but when you go to see a game up close, at least back then it was some of the most physical basketball you’ll ever see. I’m sure it didn’t hurt the shock coaches were laimbeer and Mahorn but still…

I remember being so excited that there was going to be a women's basketball league. My sisters, mom and I watched the games while my dad was at work. Then I stopped watching basketball completely when Michael Jordan retired. I started watching basketball again this year for the WNBA's rookie class, I was surprised to see T-Spoon as a part of the league still. I remembered her from those two seasons I watched. Judging by this video, it looks like Becky Hammond ended up taking her job. I read that she only played 4 seasons in the WNBA. I had never seen this shot, but it really is something! I've watched some practice videos for her team, the Chicago Sky, and the players were practicing that half-court shot. Just last weekend during practice for the All-Star game, Angel Reese made that, and she thanked the Chicago Sky for helping her do it. I hope T-Spoon is around for a long time.

Whether you knew about it or not, whether you think the WNBA is garbage or not, it's a professional sport that has moments in history. If you don't agree, don't watch the video.
