anyone who says the shot was lucky is a dumba** plain and simple. Mario is a shooter...designed play or not, the kid probably practiced that scenario and shot a million times in the gym and his driveway growing up. to say it is "lucky" is to prove you know jack sh*t about basketball. Winners hit shots under pressure, and Mario is a winner.
I mean obviously the shot in the 2008 National Championship game was much more dramatic and spectacular, but anyone who claims that Mario just his some random lucky shot should be pointed to this video. Not to mention KU ran this exact play other times as well with tweaks of course.
I was totally shocked Memphis wasn't prepared for this play in the '08 title game. KU ran this play to beat Texas here in 2007, and once again in an attempt to beat Oklahoma State in 2008, The play was one of Self's favs, and I remember being amazed that Memphis didn't know it was coming.
No doubt. I'm glad they weren't ready for it though. It's all about the forward who inbounds the ball to get in front of Sherron and set screens basically clearing the way. It's a simple play, but once that ball get to and is allowed to leave Mario's hand there's not much else a defender can do.
of course its the same play, its a handoff ball screen, just in the championship they didnt run the screen to keep CDR away form the ball. I have been to a basketball camp with Bill Self and he always uses this play for end of game situations, i made a 100 dollar bet they they would run this play if its was a close game at the end before the game started, i got my cash.
In the championship I saw this same play unfolding and remembered him making this shot and remembered thinking-he hit it against Texas, we need it one more time.
you're talking about that three? you should be talking about the new three he made inn the national championship. and to all you K-State fans out there, ROCK CHALK JAYHAWK, BITCHS!
you can't guard that shot too well because hes moving to the side and pulls up real quick. The shot against Memphis was all Chalmers it was a tough shot.
Hey, you're the one that brought fucking me up. i didn't say anything about fuckin, so it would seem apparent that you sir, are in fact, the fag in this situation. So just go masturbate to your playgirl
I also live in anchoragetoo 16loser...and...scalebscolar....Im 13 and Play For The ALAKSA STARS....Mario Played for my dad when he was 14...He IS fun to watch!!!!!
hey i live in anchorage too and it was definetly fun watching him dunk, defend, and score on all of the other unlucky teams that had to play the golden bears.

Anyone notice how similar this play is to a certain shot in 2008? Of course Sherron stayed on his feet for this one.
