This is proof that even the Showtime Lakers didn't always win. It's not like this shot was the last play of Game 7. Nope, the Lakers went out 4 games to 1!
this is probably the most under rated shot in nba history... just cause it didnt come from jordan or bird it is rated so low...It was against the defending champs, their best player (hakeem) had been ejected, there was actually less than a second left, and he freaking flipped behind his head! it deserves more praise
This was probably the high point of Ralph's NBA career. To those who say he was a total bust, I point to his Rookie of the year award and this game where he carried the Rockets past the Lakers. The loss eliminated the Lakers from playoffs and broke up their streak of consecutive championships in the late 1980's.
i guess it was luck that they were up 3 games to 1 also, that rockets team was just better

I totally agree... This was one of the best shots in NBA history when you consider -
Critical game situation + degree of difficulty!
But HEY! Dont knock Jordan or Bird.. they did it time and time again.
