[Highlight] Norman Powell HALF COURT FLOATER to beat the halftime buzzer
One handed, beautiful shot.
That’s going into his all-time highlight reel, and it’s a pretty long one.
I am glad to see him in Miami. Feel he can shine better there and was not as appreciated in LA.
I agree, Norman Powell is a bucket and the Clippers weren’t beneficial for him.
One of the coolest shots I’ve ever seen
Then just running down the tunnel real quick after. Damn cool.
The man was skipping
Statue of Liberty style
and it was clean af
BANG, best shot of the season
Thats actually insane lol
That breaks the record for longest floater. I think curry held it previously
That’s some Curry level horseshit right there, right down to it touching nothing but the bottom of the net. Great shot
That reaction on an away court is crazy.
I think at the end of the game, I heard the “let’s go heat” chant, unless I’m crazy
Heat fans do tend to show out in New York, and vice versa
Reminds me of Dolphins fans randomly invading a Carolina Panthers home game but getting overrun by Bills fans in Miami lol
Vernon Maxwell talked about this lmao his fans wore Jordan jerseys when they played the bulls, “they quit on max for the night”
It’s always so loud when we play in their arena in particular. I feel bad for the actual fans but weeee
I swear the Nets have the most friendly arena for away teams. I remember last season when the Suns blew them out the crowd started chanting Bol Bol’s name after he checked in during garbage time lol
I was there and about 30% of the crowd was us Heat fans. Slapped some good high-5s after this shot
I was expecting more of a reaction from his teammates, not many celebrating such a cool shot
The bandwagon has left. Give it a couple more years. Winning games will fix that no problem.
Me watching this video:
“Pfffft. It can’t be a floater from halfcourt. It’s just a shot, maybe leaning a bit but it can’t possibly be a true floa…
… Oh OK yeah so that’s a floater.”
My exact thoughts. This dipshit doesn’t know what a…. Oh wow that is a floater
Smooth af
This is the type of shit I was hoping for when the rule change for how this was counted as a stat
Makes you think about all the cool shots we’ve missed over the years due to nobody taking them
When/what was the rule change? Can you ELI5?
Last second heaves no longer count against shooting percentage as of this year. It’s so players don’t hold the until ball a second after the buzzer goes off to save their personal stats.
And to be clear, this isn’t just a vanity thing (though it definitely plays a factor). A lot of players have financial incentives in their contracts tied towards major stat categories (like 3P%), and many awards which have their own financial incentives can be influenced by rankings in statistical categories. Even end of bench guys would be fearful, since their playing time is so low one or two badly missed shots can mess up their percentages big time.
All of this lead to fear from players on doing little stuff like this.
Sure. Basically they allowed any “heave” to not be counted towards a player’s personal stat. Before, in the final seconds of a quarter, players would hold onto the ball or purposely put up a shot after the buzzer because they didn’t want to put up a low percentage shot and ruin their percentages. But the league changed how they counted certain stats. Now, if you put up a “heave” or shot 36 feet out or farther (which is just before a halfcourt shot), within the last 3 seconds of a quarter, that shot won’t count towards your stats. Important to note this only counts for the first 3 quarters.
Imagine it’s a close game and the third quarter is coming to an end. James Harden has been hot all night and is actually perfect from the floor at 12⁄12. He gets the ball 3⁄4 of the court with a second and a half left. Normally he might just dribble it out or put up that late shot so it doesn’t ruin his perfect night. But now with the rule change there is no reason not to try to get a half court shot. If it misses he can’t still go 12⁄12 to end the night or better. If he makes it I think it actually still counts as a shot and he is 13⁄13, gets a cool highlight, points for his team, etc.
That’s some kurukos basketball shit
Champ doin champ things
The DWade body fat % got him feelin different
Smooth
And 1
I swear every shot this guy takes goes in man.
He’s always been incredibly efficient for an undersized SG
Year 3 he still wasn’t making as many jumpshots as you would want, but the form was so beautiful. He always had such an easy and smooth time jumping. His shot has the most air under.
Miss you Norm. Im glad you’re in a better place now ❤️
what the fuck
Looks like Norm found his joy
This shot has me realizing and wondering why the NBA doesn’t have awards for the best shots of the year, buzzer beaters, dunks, etc
Uh they do. It’s on nba tv every year
We’ll never forget you Norm!
You know you’ve done something amazing when the home crowd reacts that way. People really should appreciate displays of great skill from either team. When someone does something off the charts, why not be happy? You are your teams fan, but also a basketball fan.
It’s beautiful, but also you need some serious arm strength for shots like that lmao
His wrist doubles as a bull whip
Team barely reacted that’s odd
All star
POWELL, AH, ah
Need a courtside slow motion angle
Just Norm Things
I love Stormin’ Norman ❤️
Foul ?
Niche reference, but J Kyle Mann has gotta be so happy with this
2nd best half court buzzer beater on the Nets home court in NBA history
https://youtu.be/0afz7lz7KGM?si=N-jERwNQqE9W-DTl
This is what cooked my +4 1st half 😭
That’s a good looking court.
Holy shit, the wrist snap on this shot was THICK
Finally he is going to get his All Star nod.
never seen that before, a one handed half court floater
huh…nice1
Love this man
Beautiful floater, all net from half court sheesh
That was smooth
The core + upper body strength to do this one handed while in the air in a controlled motion is something else
No And1?
We need a “POW!” from the announcer . C’mon man.
Would get endlessly glazed if it was Jokic
You must be in a different thread. Nothing but praise in here
Well has this tattooed THUG tried being a bit more classy?
Mf clowns will post his 2nd quarter buzzer beater but no Brunsons game winner 🤣 but are quick to make a flopping post. NYs nuts in everyone’s mouth as usual.
Jesse, what the FUCK are you talking about?
