I just watched the clip in another video and thought the same exact thing. I'm so glad he called out all the nonsense during that circus of a possession lol
I was there for this play. I'm a Blazers production employee, and was running Spot #11, over the opposing bench, and got to watch this all happen live and right under my feet. Got to listen to Mark Mason go nuts on comms. Pound on the rafter I was attached to and scream with the crowd. It was a magical end to a game we weren't sure we'd win.
Actually, it's not technically an 8-point game. The defining factor of a "play" is time. A play is an activity of a team on the court in a certain period of time. Which is the time that elapses between the start of the clock and the time it stops. The free throw points were scored before the clock started, so they cannot be add on the next play
That video was an absolute Master Class on how to entertain, enchant, and enlighten a viewer. You my friend, are the perfect example of why TH-cam and user generated content are a beautiful thing. Bravo 👏
I was really surprised when Draymond didn't get the call overturned. Usually once a player informs a ref that they blew it, they quickly retract the call, apologize, and give the ball back to the team that committed the foul. That's just how it's always worked in the NBA.
exactly, i couldnt believe my eyes when i saw it. i surely thought they would take back the point from the free throw that was already shot, write draymond an apology letter and give him an ice cream. i was shocked
So hypothetically there’s no upper limit to this. If the defending team is garbage enough and keeps commuting flagrants, the offending team just just rack up points on a single possession
That 7 point play in last year's Finals had me pissed as a Celtics fan. Almost lost them the game, but I was still fascinated at how a 7-0 run was made in 13 seconds. Never knew about the 8 point play though. Good find, Jxmy.
Just when I thought “damn 6 points, that’s gotta be rare..” Jimmy shows a 7 point play I thought “shit! Is that even allowed?” Then he goes on to show EIGHT POINT play. Jimmy! You rascal you didn’t disappoint bro 😂
This man needs his own 30 for 30 show with full production value behind it. Jimmy continues to put out incredible content with extremely impressive consistency.
Correct me if I am wrong, but a singular play along with the ENTIRE PLAY could technically be all from one player and score from that play could technically be almost any number. Hear me out: Let’s say player A shoots a three (and he also is also the best free throw shooter on the team). He is fouled during the shot. The player who fouled then argues and gets a technical. And likewise the coach does as Kerr did. Gets two T’s. AND a third player now also gets a T on the same team. So player A, being the best shooter, now takes 4 technical foul shots. Then takes his first two free throws. He has hit them all so far. So he now has 9 points. He then shoots his last free throw, to miss and gets his own rebound, backs it out to the three point line, shoots, hits the shot and is fouled again. Now he has 12 points, PLUS three foul shots. And repeats the same process. Hits two free throws. Misses the third and gets his own rebound again! 😳😳😳 He now repeats the process. At this point, he has 17 points. And could repeat the process, technically again. I realize the odds have become so astronomical at this point, that scientifically, it is considered basically near impossible. But even if it is like a one in a trillion odds, theoretically it could happen, until the other team runs out of fouls and players (because eventually all players possible, would be ejected off of fouls). But really, the limit is truly unknown how many points could actually be scored on one play, by one singular player. 🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️🏀🏀🏀
Correction: Larry Bird actually hit 3 clutch shots in the game you are referring to, he hit the 1st that was waved off due to the timeout call, then a 2nd after the timeout to tie the game and send it to overtime, the he hit a 3rd and final clutch shot in the second overtime to seal it. the date was November 7, 1987 bird finished with a staggering 47pts 8reb 7ast 2stl & most importantly 3 clutch shots to ice it. L3g3nd.
@@Blk_Yonko right, that is the very correction that i made above, it wasn't 2 "game winners" as stated in the video but rather 2 back to back clutch shots to send the game to OVERTIME and then a final clutch game winner in 2OT for a total of 3 clutch shots one of them the "game winner". the reason people keep making this mistake is because they are watching the same video that misstates the facts and edits the wrong two shots together omitting the 3rd clutch shot altogether from this game, the final game winner you see bird hit on this video is actually not the one after the timeout but rather the one he hit in 2OT to win it. all of these clutch shots being 3 pointers as well for the record.
My senior year of high school, my school's basketball team (Dear old I.F. High, we are with you) scored a 7-point possession against our crosstown rivals, the detestable Skyline Grizzlies... player scores on a layup and is fouled... misses the free throw, we get the rebound, make a basket and are fouled again, miss the free throw, get the rebound, hit a three. It was GLORIOUS!
Jimmy’s videos are 10,000 times better than anything ESPN tries to air on their channels (with the exception of live games/matches). It would be amazing if they gave this man a contract and Jimmy had his own ESPN series with these types of videos. He doesn’t even need to be pushed to make a video every day, just 1-2 videos a week with the budget that ESPN has to produce high quality sports videos, I think they would make some of the best content out there
As soon as I saw that clip at the beginning I was like "I was at that game." I had no idea that was such an anomaly! I just thought it was a strange moment in a tense game and I had a hearty laugh at the dynasty that blocked my favorite team year after year getting beat. Great vid and thanks for the memories. I needed a boost with all the nonsensical "Where Dame gonna go?! What if Dame stays?!?! Oh god but what if Dame spontaneously combusts!?!??!"
Theoretically, it would be possible to have infinite points on 1 play. If you get an and 1, miss the free throw, get the offensive rebound and another and 1, and that process repeats itself over and over again, you could, in theory, get hundreds of points on one play.
This is like onside kicks in football. If they could recover every kick, then the other team will never have the ball. But we still consider them all separate drives.
The odds are astronomical, but if OPJ got fouled or a even a flagrant similar to Steph, that could result into a potential 8, 10, or even an 11 point play.
Yeah lmao, as someone who doesn’t know too much about basketball, that moment stood out as a massive oversight. I love how he just pretends that the play was fully explained and moves on 🤨😂🤌
The time and dedication that Jimmy puts into researching and creating these videos goes far beyond what any other singular sports journalist does in mainstream media today. It is absolutely outstanding and every video is a banger. Keep up the great work Jimmy and the rest of the Highroller team (if such a thing exists). Thank you for creating what should be award winning content purely for our entertainment.
As you point out midway through the video, a "play" and a "possession" aren't the same thing. So it's an 8 point POSSESSION that consisted of two distinct PLAYS. Zac Collins was fouled on the first play. He makes his resulting 2 free throws. Additionally, the 3 technical foul free throws are made. That's 5 points and the first play is over, but the single possession continues. When the ball is inbounded, a second play is started. Two plays, one possession. Still pretty rare though.
I cannot believe he is so easily discounting the 25 point shot by Curly of the Harlem Globetrotters from half court. Easily more than triples this in one singular play, and for some reason always against the Washington Generals.
Jimmy you are literally a legend, I been watching since I was a freshman in high school and to see the amount of original and amazing content you continue to make is just astounding. Thank you for all the great content brother.
As usual, fantastic video. Thanks Jxmy. But you've already listed a feat that has even less chance of ever occurring again : His Airness not suffering 3 L's in a row for 10 years straight. That one was even more mind boggling.
Can’t wait to see a tech on a made three while preventing safe landing room. Then the inbound results in the same sequence. 10 point play… 1 in a trillion.
Craziest thing you witnessed in an NBA game, and you actually showed the game winner shot from Lamb against Toronto, the only NBA game I saw! It was something reaaaallly special to witness, even more sitting behind him and watching him score it and silence the entire arena!
This is interesting, but still, Isaiah Rider's over the shoulder 3 pointer while saving the ball from going out of bounds is still one of the most impressive plays ever. Pretty sure the best I've seen
Not sure if it happened before, but Steph Curry once did 2 half court shots in the same game back in 2016. The first one being waived off because he shot it after the buzzer, and made the second one which resulted in a crazy play! This was against the pacers btw incase anyone want to look it up. At least for me, it was a rare occurrence to have the same player hit more than 1 half court shot in the same game
Eight points isn't the limit either. This could actually go on indefinitely. Let's say that when Layman hit the final three of this sequence he was fouled. Let's say the foul was ruled flagrant due to an improper closeout. That then results in a FT plus possession again. So the Blazers would be up to 9 points with the chance to hit yet another three. Or if Layman was fouled and missed the FT but the Blazers got an offensive rebound and kicked it out for another three that's an 11-point play. Etc. There's theoretically no limit to how many points could be scored in a possession. It just becomes increasingly less and less likely.
As we all do when we were kids (adults too) was play an actual NBA game in our imagination while alone on the court. I used to play out the 4pt play plus a tech all the time. You took it to a whole new level. I commend you sir
The definition of a single play is completely flawed. A 5pt play and a 3 pt play. You can't take the ball out of bounds in the middle of a single play.
Theoretically an infinite point play is possible. If someone gets fouled shooting a shot and the ball goes in they get rewarded with one extra free throw but if he misses it and the offense gets the rebound and shoots a shot that goes in AND gets fouled he’ll get one extra free throw and that could theoretically go on forever.
Great storytelling as ever Jimmy, bless you brother, high quality entertainment. Respect to Draymond for pulling off the 8 point play, simply incredible..
The crazy thing that could’ve easily been a 10 point play with a foul on the last three-point play with not letting the shooter land with space which would be flagrant with an extra free-throw obviously he will have to make the three pointer first
That first one with Larry bird actually happened to me. I was 12 years old, we were down by 2 with about 20 seconds left. I had the ball on the right wing right next to my coach, he signaled a time out while i was in my shooting motion and I drained it. Ref said it didn’t count. After the time out we ran a play and my team mate got the ball, he dribbled down to the left corner and pump faked a three, with about 7 seconds left he passed me the ball. I got the ball and put up a contested fade away 3. I banked it in. 2 game winners in the span of 1 minute
Bruh this happened in one of my high school games. There was a lot of tension between the refs and our opponents. It was a close game down to the wire and we got an And-1 layup. The other team protested the call and got super mad. Like 3 guys got ejected for yelling at the refs and we got like 4 free throws and the ball back and then scored again 😂. Other team said we paid the refs🤣
Cool video, great storytelling, but to me if the shot clock is reset then that's another possession. If we count a team being given another possession as the same possession then a 40 point play is possible if a 3 point shooter continually gets flagrantly fouled until the bench of the opposing team is empty.
Sure, why not. As long as all the fouls happen at once without play continuing. It's impractical, but not impossible for the opposing team to get so mad at the foul calls they keep getting more. Just like happened here but more. But if enough of the bench gets tossed I would assume they would just call the game so that's a limiting factor. Obviously there are arguments to be made on "is this a play or not" but in the end you gotta call it something. And it's rare enough that you might as well just call it a play.
Five point plays really aren't a real thing. In the two examples Ty Lawson did connect on a 3pointer and a tech was called, but Randy Foye actually made that FT. Ty Lawson made a 4 point play but, yes, 5 points were scored by Denver in the possession. In the case of Kyrie vs Westbrook, Kyrie makes a 3 point shot, but when he misses that FT, the rebound he grabbed was the start of a new (very short) possession where he scored two MORE points. Only 1 assist and 4 points can be achieved on a single possession but theoretically many rebounds and steals can occur.
This is why I don't watch his channel - pure fluff and fanboy comments. Kyrie made an OFFENSIVE REBOUND. AKA second chance points. WASTING TIME "debunking" Reggie Miller 6pt play! Fuck this channel😊
I feel like this (more than 4 point plays) has happened a lot more times it’s just not formally tracked so we have to rely on anecdotal remembering them all, I’m almost positive I’ve seen many times where teams make a shot get fouled miss the free throw get the rebound and score afterwards, also just any time a team scored and retained possession because of a flagrant
Rarest thing I’ve ever seen was just last night I played rec with all randoms and we all missed two or less shots and scored 110 points with no turnovers the whole game we wasn’t in game chat talkin or in a party we all just hooped
6:27 Hypothetically, with this system, you could have an infinitely high number of points on a single play. Well, not infinite. You would be within the bounds of the 48 minutes that you get in a game. With this system, you could technically beat a team 150-0 without even giving the other team a possession for the entire game if you just kept on shooting threes, making every single one, getting flagrantly fouled on each shot, and making all of your free throws. I apologize for rambling
that's just silly. Whenever the ball is inbounded, by either team, we would call that a "new play". The clock stops, all the players reset their positions, a new player is chosen to inbound the ball, he does, and then the clock starts again. When the NFL receiver runs out of bounds on first down, is second down now the "same play"?
The rarest thing you can do in basketball is convince the ref to overturn a bad call by yelling or even politely talking to him props to Dray for attempting it many times. Even if the bad call is caught on camera the ref will not budge.
Bird not only shot the last second game winner twice, he also called the shot. He told the opposition the exact point he will shoot the ball from! That makes it much more rare than Jxmy suggests.
jimmy, you make the game more interesting that it is... and that is rarer than an 8 point play. I don't watch b/ball but I watch many of your videos. They are great, always
Theoretically you could have an infinite point play. And one three, miss the free throw, get the rebound, kick it out, and one three, miss the free throw, get the rebound, kick it out, and one three, over and over again.
great video but I gotta disagree on that being 1 play. The initial drive by Collins and all the free throws is one play, the 3pt by layman is a second play on the same possession. you wouldn't call both actions before and after a defensive deflection out of bounds or an offensive board one play, so this isnt either. still awesome find.
also Spain just had a 7pt possession (made 3, unsportsmanlike foul after the release = 2ft & the ball, made 2) in the FIBA world cup vs Canada a couple weeks ago. cool timing.
Jxmy has perfected his formula to such a degree that I half-believed he would continue the video with some 9 point play that happened in the 70s

@@danny7462wait until this dude finds out about people who don't watch sports 💀
@@Pyxyty WTTTTFFFF
3pointer + foul. Miss the free, retain rebound, 3pnt + foul.
Rinse repeat(much easier to type than to pull off)
Bro was not having it with the warriors and decided to quit watching Basketball 💀
i lost my mind when i saw the duration of this video about a single play but u still kept me hooked the entire time 😂good sht man
you know it’s a good day when jimmy posts
You want to talk about clutch, impossible plays? What about Jxmy's ability to produce absoulte bangers during the offseason 🔥
What a piece of gold is this video. We can feel your care with the editing.
As usual, fantastic video. Thanks Jxmy. But you've already listed a feat that has even less chance of ever occurring again : His Airness not suffering 3 L's in a row for 10 years straight. That one was even more mind boggling.
J.H. that was a fantastic break down my man. I wasn't even aware of the 7 pt play then u drop 8!! Fantastic research/ work my friend.
Can’t wait to see a tech on a made three while preventing safe landing room. Then the inbound results in the same sequence. 10 point play… 1 in a trillion.
Craziest thing you witnessed in an NBA game, and you actually showed the game winner shot from Lamb against Toronto, the only NBA game I saw!
It was something reaaaallly special to witness, even more sitting behind him and watching him score it and silence the entire arena!
Jimmy is too good at this. Gives me the original 30 for 30 vibes 🙏🏽🙌🏽
This is interesting, but still, Isaiah Rider's over the shoulder 3 pointer while saving the ball from going out of bounds is still one of the most impressive plays ever. Pretty sure the best I've seen
Respect to Jimmy keeping us entertained during the off-season. Respect to Draymond for pulling off the 8 point play, simply incredible..
copied
Not sure if it happened before, but Steph Curry once did 2 half court shots in the same game back in 2016. The first one being waived off because he shot it after the buzzer, and made the second one which resulted in a crazy play! This was against the pacers btw incase anyone want to look it up. At least for me, it was a rare occurrence to have the same player hit more than 1 half court shot in the same game
I remember seeing that in a highlight reel. It’s not really talked about as much.
I remember that game sheesh
Draymond and Steve Kerr getting technical foul is the least surprising thing to happen during a season lol
I remember the Kyrie 5 point play back when he was still universally in everyone's good graces
Then the ADL came along and blacklisted him.
Eight points isn't the limit either. This could actually go on indefinitely. Let's say that when Layman hit the final three of this sequence he was fouled. Let's say the foul was ruled flagrant due to an improper closeout. That then results in a FT plus possession again. So the Blazers would be up to 9 points with the chance to hit yet another three. Or if Layman was fouled and missed the FT but the Blazers got an offensive rebound and kicked it out for another three that's an 11-point play. Etc. There's theoretically no limit to how many points could be scored in a possession. It just becomes increasingly less and less likely.
Exactly
what's that theme that plays at 4:58? shit is raw
As we all do when we were kids (adults too) was play an actual NBA game in our imagination while alone on the court. I used to play out the 4pt play plus a tech all the time. You took it to a whole new level. I commend you sir
This man goes crazy every vid! love them!
The definition of a single play is completely flawed. A 5pt play and a 3 pt play. You can't take the ball out of bounds in the middle of a single play.
Thanks jxmy for the much entertaining vid
Side note: imagine if he made the layup
Great storytelling as ever Jimmy, bless you brother, high quality entertainment
Theoretically an infinite point play is possible. If someone gets fouled shooting a shot and the ball goes in they get rewarded with one extra free throw but if he misses it and the offense gets the rebound and shoots a shot that goes in AND gets fouled he’ll get one extra free throw and that could theoretically go on forever.
Great storytelling as ever Jimmy, bless you brother, high quality entertainment. Respect to Draymond for pulling off the 8 point play, simply incredible..
Rarest thing is Lebron retiring
Only happens once
He's probably gonna do a tom brady
@@vianthomas9155Jordan did it thrice
He (needs) to.
@@Nadahassan12Brady did it twice, could find something more rare
I would have to say Tracey mcgrady scoring 13 points in 35 seconds is the most rare and amazing play ever.
HAHAHAHA! Steve Kerr made history, the lil B.
NIGHT-NIGHT! 😴
😆 🤣
Jxmy always puts the best efforts in his videos. The goat bball TH-camr.
4:00 offensive rebounds =/= and 1
The crazy thing that could’ve easily been a 10 point play with a foul on the last three-point play with not letting the shooter land with space which would be flagrant with an extra free-throw obviously he will have to make the three pointer first
That first one with Larry bird actually happened to me. I was 12 years old, we were down by 2 with about 20 seconds left. I had the ball on the right wing right next to my coach, he signaled a time out while i was in my shooting motion and I drained it. Ref said it didn’t count. After the time out we ran a play and my team mate got the ball, he dribbled down to the left corner and pump faked a three, with about 7 seconds left he passed me the ball. I got the ball and put up a contested fade away 3. I banked it in. 2 game winners in the span of 1 minute
Jimmy has such a masterpiece style of content creating in my opinion. Keeping us entertained in the off season 💪
Bruh this happened in one of my high school games. There was a lot of tension between the refs and our opponents. It was a close game down to the wire and we got an And-1 layup. The other team protested the call and got super mad. Like 3 guys got ejected for yelling at the refs and we got like 4 free throws and the ball back and then scored again 😂. Other team said we paid the refs🤣
Cool video, but what is a near 9 point deficit? It's a 9 point deficit or it's not.
I gotta say it for you "Hope you all enjoyed and as always until next time"
Jimmy always entertains during the off season
Incredible video, Jxmy.
One small, curious phonetic detail: Steve KERR, Seth CURRY, Steph CURRY, all in the same game...The odds of that...😂😀
It's actually poetic that Donkeymond Green allowed an 8-point play to happen
Cool video, great storytelling, but to me if the shot clock is reset then that's another possession. If we count a team being given another possession as the same possession then a 40 point play is possible if a 3 point shooter continually gets flagrantly fouled until the bench of the opposing team is empty.
Sure, why not. As long as all the fouls happen at once without play continuing. It's impractical, but not impossible for the opposing team to get so mad at the foul calls they keep getting more. Just like happened here but more. But if enough of the bench gets tossed I would assume they would just call the game so that's a limiting factor. Obviously there are arguments to be made on "is this a play or not" but in the end you gotta call it something. And it's rare enough that you might as well just call it a play.
One POSSESSION, NOT one play. Only way you can exceed 4 points in one play is for a tech or multiple techs to be called.
Five point plays really aren't a real thing. In the two examples Ty Lawson did connect on a 3pointer and a tech was called, but Randy Foye actually made that FT. Ty Lawson made a 4 point play but, yes, 5 points were scored by Denver in the possession. In the case of Kyrie vs Westbrook, Kyrie makes a 3 point shot, but when he misses that FT, the rebound he grabbed was the start of a new (very short) possession where he scored two MORE points. Only 1 assist and 4 points can be achieved on a single possession but theoretically many rebounds and steals can occur.
This is why I don't watch his channel - pure fluff and fanboy comments.
Kyrie made an OFFENSIVE REBOUND.
AKA second chance points.
WASTING TIME "debunking" Reggie Miller 6pt play!
Fuck this channel😊
I feel like this (more than 4 point plays) has happened a lot more times it’s just not formally tracked so we have to rely on anecdotal remembering them all, I’m almost positive I’ve seen many times where teams make a shot get fouled miss the free throw get the rebound and score afterwards, also just any time a team scored and retained possession because of a flagrant
Some of these are not “plays,” but rather, “possessions.”
Rarest thing I’ve ever seen was just last night I played rec with all randoms and we all missed two or less shots and scored 110 points with no turnovers the whole game we wasn’t in game chat talkin or in a party we all just hooped
6:27 Hypothetically, with this system, you could have an infinitely high number of points on a single play. Well, not infinite. You would be within the bounds of the 48 minutes that you get in a game. With this system, you could technically beat a team 150-0 without even giving the other team a possession for the entire game if you just kept on shooting threes, making every single one, getting flagrantly fouled on each shot, and making all of your free throws. I apologize for rambling
that's just silly. Whenever the ball is inbounded, by either team, we would call that a "new play". The clock stops, all the players reset their positions, a new player is chosen to inbound the ball, he does, and then the clock starts again. When the NFL receiver runs out of bounds on first down, is second down now the "same play"?
I just think it’s funny that MJ is soooooo goood that it’s more rare for him to miss a very rare shot then to make it😅
Shit like this is why I love this channel!!!
The rarest thing you can do in basketball is convince the ref to overturn a bad call by yelling or even politely talking to him props to Dray for attempting it many times. Even if the bad call is caught on camera the ref will not budge.
Bird not only shot the last second game winner twice, he also called the shot. He told the opposition the exact point he will shoot the ball from! That makes it much more rare than Jxmy suggests.
Hey Jxmy, you should do a video on statistically seeing, what is the hardest sports to go pro-in and rank them.
jimmy, you make the game more interesting that it is... and that is rarer than an 8 point play. I don't watch b/ball but I watch many of your videos. They are great, always
0:58 lmfaooo that old man celebrating that missed mj dunk is killing me 😂😂😂
Theoretically you could have an infinite point play. And one three, miss the free throw, get the rebound, kick it out, and one three, miss the free throw, get the rebound, kick it out, and one three, over and over again.
great video but I gotta disagree on that being 1 play. The initial drive by Collins and all the free throws is one play, the 3pt by layman is a second play on the same possession. you wouldn't call both actions before and after a defensive deflection out of bounds or an offensive board one play, so this isnt either.
still awesome find.
also Spain just had a 7pt possession (made 3, unsportsmanlike foul after the release = 2ft & the ball, made 2) in the FIBA world cup vs Canada a couple weeks ago. cool timing.
Ty Lawson on the nuggets really was that guy. 2k legend for sure.
