Pretty good selection there, though I'm surprised Gaines' gamewinner took the top spot.

I'm surprised Gaines' gamewinner took the top spot.

So did I. He's pretty much nobody, but in one game, he was outstanding. To honor such a player the best play of the season, alone is a surprise.

[Andrew]

It was a great shot but putting it at number one is banking heavily on the "feel-good" angle of a D-Leaguer getting a call-up and hitting a gamewinner, before going on to get signed for the rest of the year.

[NovU]

I see. That's one way to look at this situation. Though, it is really surprising when cracking the top 5 alone would have been a surprise.

[Andrew]

Fifth or so wouldn't be unreasonable for a gamewinning shot like that. Number one may be overselling that particular play just a little bit.

Stephen Curry...

I remember watching that game and freaking out. However, the face that there was like a 40% chance of him making it diminishes it a bit. (Also Crawford's game winner a couple days later was way better)

I really liked #2. He came out of nowhere on that play. Like #7 too. Agree that #1 probably wasn't worthy. Maybe top 10 but that's it.

ONly 1 of Kobe's 6 game winners? and at 3rd? Number 1 was good, but it wasn't worth the top spot, #2 should've been one in my opinion

I was surprised at that too, but I guess they wanted to avoid players getting in the countdown too many times and just picked the one they felt was the most remarkable. If that was the goal, I think they picked well.
