Inane commentary on a game that deserves far better


Monday, March 21, 2005

Did you see SportsCenter this morning? It included not only the Holdsclaw interview, but also footage of one of the wackiest basketball plays ever.

In the Minnesota high school boys' championship game, Hopkins was down 2 with a couple seconds left. They threw a full-court Hill-to-Laettner pass. There was a scrum to get the ball, and Blake Hoffarber fell to the floor. The ball fell into his hands, and lying on his back, he threw it up.

Buzzer sounds. Swish. Game to OT, Hopkins wins.

It was #1 on SportsCenter's Top Plays. You can view a still of the shot here and video here at the middle of the page.
