Cleveland was two points down with one second left, looking at going down 0-2 at home, but Lebron made one of the most amazing 3 point buzzer beaters in NBA history. Amazing shot. Amazing conference finals this year.

Considering it was LeBron, I'm more impressed that Turkoglu made his shot.

lol this is only the conference finals. Definitely not the biggest shot in NBA history, see MJ's dagger in 98 in the finals against the Jazz

Lebron rarely does any game-winning buzzer-beaters.

I didn't say it was the greatest, but I think it's up there. Remember Derek Fisher's miracle shot against the Spurs in game four of the West Division finals? Or Horry's buzzer beater against the Kings? Those shots were years and years ago, but anybody who saw them still remembers. I think Lebron's shot was on that level.

It wasn't Jerry-West-sinks-a-half-court-game-winner-in-the-Finals big, but it was a huge shot. That shot is going on the all time career highlight reel for Lebron. It could have also been a series swinging shot, considering the Magic were one second away from winning both games at Cleveland. There are plenty of conference finals buzzer beaters that have achieved classic status (see the examples I mentioned earlier). I think this shot was up there with those.

More interesting was the fact that 1. The cav's played AWFUL defense, letting Orlando back in it i believe both games now 2. As a Wizards fan, I swear by the fact that Lebron James travels going to the hoop more than almost any player in the NBA - each time Lebron gets called for a travel going to the basket with under 20 seconds to go is simply karma for his ridiculous 4 or 5 steps against the Wizards a few years ago - the Crab Dribble, as Jalen Rose said, has nothing to do with the 3 steps he takes to the basket. So call him Prince James until he wins the damn thing

It wasn't MJ-buzzer-beater-in-the-Finals big, but it was MJ-hits-a-running-jump-shot-to-send-the-Cavs-home big. See where I'm coming from here? There are loads of classic buzzer beaters from the Conference championships that still get replayed to this day. Classic shots. We just saw a new one today.

well if you put it that way then I definitely agree, I thought you were calling it the greatest shot ever in the finals but yeah I agree this is the type of shot that will be remembered for a long time especially if he is able to win this series

Well technically MJ's shot against Utah wasn't at the buzzer. there was about 6 seconds left. It's just so memorable that as the years go by people just assume it was at the buzzer. But this was one hell of a shot. It will get more praise than other shots because of who shot it. Just like that fisher shot against SA a few yrs ago. If that was Kobe who made that shot, we'd see that highlight during playoffs every year. I haven't seen a replay of that fisher shot in a couple yrs. It's a superstar driven league

Good points. Really, John Paxson's (I think that was his name :P) shot for the Bulls against Phoenix in the Finals was bigger than Jordan's shot against the Jazz. But everybody would rather see a replay of Jordan and remember how amazing he was. It's the same deal with Lebron. I think Lebron's incredible rise this season just makes the shot all the more memorable.

It was a great shot, yes, but there were better. It was only game 2 after all.
