Everybody knows this one. Morris Peterson ties the game in ridiculous fashion after Michael Ruffin throws the ball up in the air to try to run out the game clock.
Also all time traumatizing. Took me like 3 days to get over this. Then Caron broke his hand the next game, and Gilbert blew out his knee two games later. Worst week ever. The basketball gods really hated us then. 🤦🏻♂️
@@Vnov93 what’s wild is a big part of me still believes that team is a couple bad bounces (and breaks like you mentioned) from threatening the ECF that year in what in retrospect was a weak eastern conference.
Miles Johnson I agree. That year was our best shot for sure. Cleveland won the East, and we for sure had the capability of beating them. We had the playoff series in the bag the year before, before losing 3 games at the buzzer. Miami was crippled that year. Aside from the obvious Detroit, I think New Jersey would have been the only other problem. We would always lose to them in nail biters. Could never finish them. Carter was too clutch
Did the Wizards win in this overtime afterwards? TBH, What was Ruffin thinking?? Geezz, he just need to hold the ball. But at least the fans got their money's worth from OT.
2nd greatest buzzer beater in Raptors history? This one just tied it, not won it. I could think of two buzzer beating winning treys from Vince Carter, one notably against the Clippers in LA. Come on now.
This was really the end of this team. They were never the same after this game. Butler broke his hand the next game, and Arenas blew out his knee a couple of games after that and did it 2 more times over the next couple of seasons. And what a fitting way to foreshadow their future misfortune by having an insane finish like this happen to them. Thanks, Basketball Gods. 🙌🏻
This is why I hate the stupid practice of announcers no-selling buzzer beaters by the other team. This was so much more genuine, exciting and entertaining. It's authentic, it makes sense, it's not confusing. It doesn't require explaining. Why don't more local announcers just allow themselves to react a little bit like frustrated or otherwise upset fans for those couple of seconds the way this guy did?
that was pure luck. The amount of idiots that say it was all skill and clutch bug me. It’s hard to get 1-2 bounces and make a shot but 4 bounces is unheard of. I played sg all my life. Always was the best shooter on my teams and I’ve never gotten a bs shot like that before. I’ve made 2 bounces. In my defense I swish more shots than bounce but still it was pure luck. Not even JJ Redick could’ve made a shot like that and he was the best shooter on the floor that series.
in 2007 ... i Lost $13,000.00 on a 12 team parlay because of the B S toss up at end of game !!!! Thanks Ruffin !! ill never forget !!! smh !!! I put 20 dollars on the bet FYI... first 11 came out , until Ruffin...
no, it was because of hurt pride over gambling. Card game called Booray www.actionnetwork.com/nba/gilbert-arenas-javaris-crittenton-guns-gambling-wizards-showdown-locker-room-booray
@@akim2442 Wow. That was a good read. Crittenton probably qualifies as the most criminal element ever to play in the NBA. If he doesn't get killed in the slammer, I hope he is not released a day sooner than December 13, 2036.
I was friends with Ruffin’s daughter. She always said how she hated looking on the internet about her dad because, people would always talk trash about him and it would affect her a lot. It’s crazy how we can talk trash about celebrities and don't care to how it could affect them or their families.
I remember most of this as this was probably the only game I went to that year…. My now ex wife covered my eyes after the last free throw and all I could do is hear the crowd react 😢
pretty sure winning the NCAA chip was better than a trick shot on a crappy Raptors team. It is one of the best last memories I have chilling with my late baby bro tho. Thanks MO Pete.
@@daves110 Sure but this team wasn't that crappy this was a playoff team and I think the 5th seed or something that season. And Mo Pete was a good player but was coming off the bench at this time for some reason.
The next Wizards game after this was when Arenas (Who hit the free throw here to put them up 3) blew his knee out and basically ended his status as an elite player. It was a nice three year run with him from 04'-07', before the injury and everyone figuring out he was insane after the gun stand-off in the locker room with Crittenton.
its actually more surprising that peterson has only played 1 min, he's a starter, so i don't remember what happened in this game and only remember the buzzer beater.
He was probably being rested in order to be fresher for the next game, given the night off, except for a few minutes. It's just good squad rotation. And it paid off very well in the end lol
This might be the most underrated regular season moment in NBA history
Agree. You here it from from Michigan residents that ESPN.
Facts lol every time I come across it it amazes me it isn’t really posted more
th-cam.com/video/5xvxWEx0sK8/w-d-xo.html
It’s up there with this one for sure.
OG
lifelong wizards fan here and this is still one of the all-time funniest moments in league history lmfao

@@mr8883 nope they lost in OT
I like how the announcers tried to cover for Ruffin saying Bosh grabbed him, and then they showed the replay of Bosh nowhere near him
😂
😂😂😂 exactly
Bosh did make contact but Ruffin threw it up. Commentators showing mercy
"NOOOOOO! Not possible! Not possible!!" Second-greatest buzzer beater in Raptors history.
@French Jesus Found the Wizards or Sixers fan
OG won it last night.haha
@Josiah Oliver that has nothing to do with the comment ☠️
2nd greatest buzzer beater in Raptors history? This one just tied it, not won it. I could think of two buzzer beating winning treys from Vince Carter, one notably against the Clippers in LA. Come on now.
@@Tam0deIt’s an opinion buddy, the comedic factor of it could make it better in their mind
And the raps ultimately won this game! Bruh! 😂
In overtime they won too
From wikipedia: "The Raptors went on to defeat the Wizards, 123-118 " :´D
yes they did :D
In OT.
JahziyaThe ExpediaMetlifeKFCLeafs&SpongebobFan2005 an I though with 0.0 on the clock they played it out
Haha what a idiot
This was 2007 wasn't it. Because I think this was a week before Arenas got the knee injury. It was either that or the Butler injury
He been chilling with the JR Smith.😭
You mean jr smith been chilling with him
That look Antonio Daniels gave him @1:36, could've pierced Ruffin's soul 🤣🤣🤣
This was really the end of this team. They were never the same after this game.

Yes, the Memphis, vs Maryland tournament game was bad as well......
Future Misfortune…that’s a great band name
@@grantdowling8550 David right would b.j Upton be happy at City Banks key. Elemental Elisa 03''''''' rack a st.louis style del Boca vista,, yum 😋 yum
1:11 that's epic foreshadowing from Phil!
("making sure Michael Ruffin's gonna match up with Chris Bosh")
Michael Ruffin's play of his career
The way they just look at Ruffin tho lmaoo like damn bro what were you thinking
This is why I hate the stupid practice of announcers no-selling buzzer beaters by the other team. This was so much more genuine, exciting and entertaining.

Hahaha at 1:28, you can see for a split second, Antonio Daniels already letting his shoulders drop. He knows it’s going in 😂. He’s like “Goddamn it”
Another funny thing is when Curry hit that long game winner vs OKC.. you can see Kanter on the bench throw his arms cause he knew it was going in 😂😂
Don't let Michael Ruffin throw out a first pitch.
Here after the Wizards blew a 35 point lead today, trying to see which was worse 🥴
This had to be worst man got the game tying assist for the opposing team ultimately losing the game 😂
What a move this was. It made Peterson famous for life. "Yes, very possible"! 🤣🥂 One minute, changed the game, wholly.
I feel Steve’s pain. I just called a playoff game for my high school last night and we lost when the other team made a half court heave at the buzzer
I feel his pain as a UCLA fan. That Gonzaga shot still haunts my mind.
i watch this live and i was like wtf is that guy doing . lmao , holy shit that ended ruffin carrer
Gils arena brought me here. Couldn't see the screen on the podcast
1:36 the left man lmao
I remember watching this game live at home, the agony still sits with me in 2023.
I remember being at this game I was so upset like how could we possibly lose after being up with 3 seconds left
Because Michael Ruffin
1:29 My reaction to Kawhi's winner against Philly. How does a ball bounce 4 times on the rim and still go in?
that was pure luck. The amount of idiots that say it was all skill and clutch bug me. It’s hard to get 1-2 bounces and make a shot but 4 bounces is unheard of. I played sg all my life.

The look on Mason's face is priceless. He got that "dumbass" look on his face ☺️🤭
1:36Teammate: Hey guy, look what shit thing you have done!
Lmao i remember being at this game. Everyone was watching at the exits and was shocked. Wizards man lol
in 2007 ... i Lost $13,000.00 on a 12 team parlay because of the B S toss up at end of game !!!!
Thanks Ruffin !! ill never forget !!! smh !!! I put 20 dollars on the bet FYI... first 11 came out , until Ruffin...
Oh, so you lost TWENTY dollars.
Had me scared for a second.
2:11 Wizards bench trying to hide their laughter. 😂🤣😂
Is this the reason why Arenas brought a gun to the locker room that one time...?
no, it was because of hurt pride over gambling. Card game called Booray www.actionnetwork.com/nba/gilbert-arenas-javaris-crittenton-guns-gambling-wizards-showdown-locker-room-booray
Yep

Brought a GUN fa what?
No
It was because of Javar Crittenton
Antonio Daniels at 1:36 😂
Lmao
Lolllll he was in the game for 1 minute!!!
1:29 NOOOOOO!! NOT POSSIBLE!!
lol that part was so funny
I was friends with Ruffin’s daughter. She always said how she hated looking on the internet about her dad because, people would always talk trash about him and it would affect her a lot. It’s crazy how we can talk trash about celebrities and don't care to how it could affect them or their families.
Damn that's crazy. I can imagine how Ruffin felt. Hell, I was pissed for him.
sucks for them, but i guess that's the price for making millions of dollars.
Okay? He shouldn’t have made a dumb decision. She can cry on her million dollar pillow
that sequence is crazy.. i remember this..hahaha
all bro had to do was throw the ball anywhere but straight up 💀
This and Gary Trent Jr's buzzer beater against the wizards are so underrated
The person on the clock gift wrapped this for them. Totally
Well it was a Wizard's home game so...
I remember most of this as this was probably the only game I went to that year…. My now ex wife covered my eyes after the last free throw and all I could do is hear the crowd react 😢
And the Raptors won tonight too with a score of 109. I remember where I was when this happened.
That seriously had to of been the best time of Morris peterson ever had in his whole life.
pretty sure winning the NCAA chip was better than a trick shot on a crappy Raptors team. It is one of the best last memories I have chilling with my late baby bro tho. Thanks MO Pete.
@@daves110 Sure but this team wasn't that crappy this was a playoff team and I think the 5th seed or something that season. And Mo Pete was a good player but was coming off the bench at this time for some reason.
imagine having Wizards -2.5
Pause at 1:36 and the look on Daniels' face says it all.
The fact a flint legend made one of the greatest shots in rapper history man😢❤
The next Wizards game after this was when Arenas (Who hit the free throw here to put them up 3) blew his knee out and basically ended his status as an elite player. It was a nice three year run with him from 04'-07', before the injury and everyone figuring out he was insane after the gun stand-off in the locker room with Crittenton.
I remember this like it was yesterday watching live I couldn’t believe it. It still baffles me
Kihei Clark did this in March Madness 3/16/2023. Remember this.
This is the most stupid thing i've ever seen in a basketball court. Even in a street basketball court.
This is Probably the most embarrassing way to lose a game
don’t celebrate too early xD
Wasn't celebrating, he was trying to kill the clock. Didn't throw it high enough, though, not great clock awareness.
Yes especially if you have ruffin
players are wondering what happened?? not really, theyre just like, "why the fuck is this fool smiling right now?"
I wish I could be a fly in the wall in the locker room after this cause I know they let him have it
I need Gilbert Arenas to react to this I know he gone be mad as hell all over again lmao
UVA-Furman brought me here
Great minds think alike.
And the fact the wizards lost in overtime, michael ruffin struggles to sleep at night every day since this
Michael Ruffin gyattt damn🧠
This summarizes the wizards
The time clock paused
People talking about them what if’s but a lot have forgotten how good was Agent Zero was before his injury and issues
Lmao i cried when he laughed funny af lol
What was Ruffin thinking?? Geezz, he just need to hold the ball but at least the fans got their money's worth from OT.
1:36 You had one Job Ruffin!
I want Gil to cover this play so bad. What the heck was he thinking?
😂
Who's Gil? Isn't that the currency in Final Fantasy games?
the clock was not running at the time Ruffin deflected the ball. lol
Mais alguém aqui graças ao Bola Presa?
Mo Peterson I don't even think is left handed.
He is
this felt like yesterday
kaan kural anlatınca geldım
Who's here to watch the same play that happened between Ormoc v.s. Tacloban
Just when you thought you were about to go home
What a play by michael ruffin. 😅🎉
I have two words for Caitlin - Michael…Ruffin
Why the time going so slow?
will never not be hilarious
1:37 Ruffin looking like:.... Man... Im such a dick
nandito aq ngaun dahil napanuod q to sa tiktok 🤣🤣🤣
That was some jr smith shit lmao
that wasnt 3 secs
3.8
Hug the ball Mr ruffin
I’m here after TNT confused Fred Vinson with Michael Ruffin
this wouldn't happen if Arenas had misses deliberately the second free throw
Ruppin the Muffin🤣
1:36 jajajaja
I thought you laughed his head. I didnt see the other guy. Lol he is funnier
I put $2,000 on the wizards to win -2.5
They lost.
its actually more surprising that peterson has only played 1 min, he's a starter, so i don't remember what happened in this game and only remember the buzzer beater.
He was probably being rested in order to be fresher for the next game, given the night off, except for a few minutes. It's just good squad rotation. And it paid off very well in the end lol
Kobe changed his jersey number because of this guy
Wat he'd this live. I was cussing out Ruffin. Looking at it now. The clock didn't start until he tipped it and it hit the ground. Late start
Who's win the game?
Everyone just ignores the fact that the clock didn’t start in time. It should have started as soon as Ruffin touched the ball.
He's from MSU TOO!
Did Raptors win this game???
If arenas missed the shots so they were gonna lose instantly
imagine being #51 in the locker room post-game 💀
Should have been a foul on the play too
Idk why i thought it was John Wall for a sec
Who won that game?
Damn
i think this ruffins last year.. 😂
Link to full game?
