That is awesome! That should be a TV show. "That's So Lakers"

That video is exceptional. I love watching both Lebron and the Lakers fail.

It's an amazing shot, and I appreciate you posting the video. I wouldn't call it the greatest game-winner in NBA history. Others should chime in, but I thought of a few that are more impressive and memorable to me, in no particular order:

- Reggie Miller beating the Knicks with 8 points in 12 seconds or whatever it was
- T-Mac with a similar end-of-game comeback for the Rockets
- Curry's 3 to beat the Thunder when he had 12 3s in the game (record)
- Jordan's playoff game-winner over the Cavs where he jumps waaaaaay into the air and pumps his fist afterwards
- Ray Allen's 3 to help the Heat beat the Spurs in the Finals

Marbury vs. the Spurs.

Allen’s wasn’t a game winner, it tied the game.

My memory is so bad these days that I was about to chastise you for not mentioning the Chapman shot. But it only forced OT.
Go Suns!

Nice buzzer beater but not the greatest in history.

Maybe the longest game-winning buzzer beater. Greatness is subjective.

No mention of Derek Fisher's 0.4 second playoff game winning shot?

I think by "greatest" Bobster might be judging by degree of difficulty. This remains the craziest one for me:
