778. NBA Western Conference Playoff Preview

This episode is a video podcast so please click here to watch the episode! If KAT's fingernail hadn't grazed the Spurs inbounds pass at the end of game 4 of the NBA Finals and Stephon Castle puts in a buzzer beater, what would have happened to OG's tip-in on the previous play? Instead of going down in history as one of the greatest plays in NBA history, it would've been largely forgotten. In today's bracket, Ian Rosenblum helps Keev and Alex determine which play in sports history is the best example of a play that would've gone down in history as among the greatest ever if the other team hadn't immediately followed up with a greater one that won them the game instead.
