this is the kind of content the Ringer can and should do, not only for football but for all sports, music, cinema, pop culture, etc
We've got 9 more episodes coming, some are sports-related, and some are music/movies/pop culture-related. Thanks for watching!
It's awesome and absolutely ripe for self-parody later
Secret Base
That’s why they did it.
@@theringertY for recognizing Jokic… The guy deserves more.
Give me Bill in front of a camera taking about great moments in sports ALL DAY.
Kyle turn the TH-cam camera on!!
I mean Ben!
It’s feeling like 2019 again
Only took 3 years to bounce back from Covid
I don’t get it
@@danielroth3714 the content that this channel produced during 2019 was so good and similar to this.
Make the ringer great again
my thoughts exactly. zoom era was not the best time for the ringer
wow, that's a genuinely amazing photo of Bill at 9:04. if that were me i'd have that framed lol
Yeah, that pic is cold
I had the EXACT thought bro 💯🔥
I'm sure there is a blown-up version hanging in his bedroom right above the bed Bill pretends to sleep with his wife in. 😅
TH-cam is having a moment House!
it just is!
8:33…this is precisely why I say Sasha Vujacic never gets enough credit. Comes off the bench ice cold, Game 7 of the Finals, 81-79…stuffs both FTs to seal the title for the Lakers. One of the most unsung clutch moments ever.
bro yes
Dude I'm so excited for these
Too bad the rest suck. 🤷😆
The TH-cam camera piece!
I CAN'T BEGIN TO TELL YOU HOW MUCH I LIKED THIS! Listen, I was a massive fan of Grantland and feel similarly about The Ringer. But the one thing that is missing in each site was/is missing is - this - the ability to send comments along. I feel like someone at The Ringer (perhaps yourself) will read this. With The Ringer, there is no community dialogue going on (Bill, I am certain you are aware of this as you are the most savvy of the content providers and weighed pros and cons). Anyway, toward the piece itself, the ability to distill what happened in a single moment in a sport and explain what it meant then, and going forward, is the type of content real fans care about!
Those comment sections were poorly moderated, and devolved into a cesspool for politics and racist tirades... I for one don't miss it.
@@thaat1 I never got involved, but felt those folks were at least accessible. That was my only point. Like you, I hate when people try to make a point that has exactly nothing to do with the spirit of how content is offered.
Absolutely unforgettable game and Bill nailed the atmosphere in the arena that night. As a lifelong Miami Heat season ticket holder, that game is hands down the best I've ever witnessed. Sitting just 25 rows up from where Ray Allen hit that miracle shot, the tension was palpable. When Kawhi Leonard was at the line for those free throws, my dad was ready to call it quits and head out. But I insisted, 'No way we're leaving now.' It felt like a nightmare unfolding before us-our championship hopes hanging by a thread. That shot, though? Pure magic. It's not just a great moment in NBA history; it's THE greatest shot ever made, and I'm forever grateful to have been a part of that electrifying night.
This moment is still so tough for me to watch as a spurs fan… just almost made me not be able to watch basketball again for a while… but it’s also what made the 2014 win so emotional
this is your SB50 for seahawks fans lol
Yup. What a numb feeling.
Why? Of course it’s a coaching mistake. Everyone makes them. But there’s no guarantee Duncan gets the rebound. I believe Duncan was out there when Miami had their first miss-make three 20 seconds earlier. Not to mention without this the 2014 title likely doesn’t exist. Best bounce back ever. Pop had them locked in. They eviscerated the Heat and ended the Heatles.
I was on my honeymoon in Jamaica when this happened. My wife went to sleep but told me to wake her up if the Spurs won.
I woke her up with like a minute left. “We’re gonna win!” I said giddily.
But it has a happy ending, because on June 15, 2014 my wife and I celebrated our one year anniversary in NYC. That evening we watched the Spurs beat the Heat in game 5 to clinch the title.
@@Sethsters man… that sounds like such a nice core memory for you guys 👏
Please god please make more content like this. This is similar to what people started reading, watching and listening to Grantland/The Ringer for.
Finally, Bill decides to make videos!
Listening to Bill talk about the NBA is actually more entertaining than the NBA. And that's how I consume the NBA nowadays. Highest compliments to Bill.
4 minutes in and this is FANTASTIC. Will be the biggest basketball channel on the site if this continues! Classic Bill
Agreed, greatest shot of all time 🐐and it’s not close!
Nobody from ESPN showed this much love for the NBA like Bill Simmons
It was a confluence of events that will probably never be replicated and if you played it out in a simulation it would happen 1 in a million.
1. Manu goes 1/2 from the line:
2. LeBron misses 3. Despite having 4 Spurs all in the area and at least 2 of them with their hands on the ball, Miami taps it out to LeBron who hits second attempt.
3. Kawhi goes 1/2 from the line.
4. LeBron misses again. Bosh fights through traffic to secure the board, tosses it out to Ray for the corner 3 to tie.
Two missed free throws and two offensive rebounds. If the Spurs get any one of those things to fall in their favor they win. Instead they went 0/4.
Brutal to watch in real time and just as brutal to relive a decade later.
As a Spurs fan... god damn it.
But man, 2014, when they came back and swore vengeance -- that was sweet.
Watching Ray hit that shot was such a gut punch that it STILL hurts in the year 2024. Thanks, Bill for making me relive the pain!!! 😭Seriously though, love the content! Hope to see more like this!
Bill with his arms crossed in front of Andre the Giant with his arms crossed is beautiful.
This is what I wanted to see on the winner just great history of both basketball and football. If you have regular episodes like this, it will kill it.
Love this format - more please
Good job by you Bill!!
Love this. Please make many more.
“Ray Allen practiced this shot thousands of times” -and has the calf muscles to prove it.
As a lifelong spurs fan, I've always said Ray's shot was retribution for Bruce Bowens defense from 05 playoffs.
I love all Ringer content. This is awesome. I love the picture of Bill squatting down in the stands watching the play.
Game 6 Duncan was him turning into 1985 Kareem. He was gonna be FMVP. 5-5
this is great. Bill's an amazing storyteller. thanks!

"There was a moment when..."
I was in Miami for that game and remember watching him score that 3 pointer at some random sports bar. Everyone went WILD. It was amazing!

Spurs fan. Watched this live. One of the most vivid memories I have.
Please do more of this Bill

The slow motion of ray 's shot is poetry in motion
Really cool content by Bill
When Ray Allen saved LeBron's legacy.
Hey Bill, great content.
Damn cool idea. As. a video producer this must be fun to work on.
Greatest shot of all time
These are great! You should do the Pedro all star game performance with russillo
My two favorite Finals series of my lifetime: 2011, 2013, 2016.
More of this please

Cool idea for a series!
Finally some real content
More of this content!
Great torture device Bill! (Spurs fan here)
Greatest shot ever.
Push this stuff more 💯💯💯💯
Need one of these covering the moment everything changed on The Big Pic. CR’s watershed moment. A true black swan event. It’s one of the best things to happen at The Ringer; it just is.
I remember taping this game so that I could watch it after getting off work. I didn't know what happened until I got home to watch it. I was rooting like crazy for the Spurs to win because I didn't (and still don't) like LeBron or that Heat super team. Seeing the Spurs come SO close to winning the title, after CLEARLY proving to be the better team up until that last few seconds, until Ray hit that 3 to tie it, was devastating 😂. I remember telling myself after they lost and it really hit me, "I can't believe they just lost that game!!" One of the wildest NBA finals games I've ever seen, and the only team that came anywhere near as close to winning the title without actually winning it, was the 88 Pistons, In the famous sprained ankle Isiah Thomas game.
Just like the Pistons, the Spurs wound up winning the title the next year, against the same team they SHOULD have beaten the year before.
This was the one bill! Now please do redraftables 2.0 and book of basketball video content 🙏
FINALLY. Pre-Covid Ringer vibes 🐐
Bring back the NBA season preview!!!
Chris breaking down Neil going through the hospital in Heat opening up doors with his elbows and shit
I was visiting family down in Miami and we were watching in my uncle’s garage where he had a projector and a massive screen. When Ray Allen hit that shot I jumped up so high I almost knocked the projector off the holder it was hanging from. My uncle had to fix it real quick so we didn’t miss the last five seconds. But we were all celebrating. It was pure pandemonium in the room. Great memory.
Basketball kind of died after that in a way. The league became all about three’s, woke politics, and super teams. Maybe it’ll come back around, but idk. And LeBron started acting like he was the greatest thing since sliced bread and calling himself the goat. That still belongs to MJ, but those LeBron-Heat teams were super fun to watch. I’ll remember those days fondly.
I am from Denver so I’m happy with the Nuggets right now ofc 😄
Jalen and bill should do the draft thing they used to do omg GRANTLAND was AMAZING
Bill is absolutely right. It is the greatest shot in the history of the NBA.
It’s just so classic Bill to still somehow give credit to the Celtics. I would expect nothing less.
The music volume levels are too low. I feel it should ramp up at certain points but instead it just stays flat.
Love this kind of content tho!
Allen saved his team's season with one shot.
This rules
As a Spurs fan, fuck you but great video. I think Sean Elliots memorial day miracle shot was better/harder to make but the stakes for Rays is unmatched.
I wish you could re edit this so that from one angle, Bill's arms are crossed like Andre and in the other angle, his fists are up like Rocky
As heartbreaking as the shot was as a Spurs fan, the 2014 ass kicking was a better redemption.
Man this is the basketbal content we need, not another jordan/bron/kobe out of context take
