Damn I remember this live I went nuts. I cant believe that was his first NBA game. Killin it. You know when he hit that shot, all he could think was CHA-CHING!!!
@hefalumpkin You know what was even more amazing? David Locke was doing the play by play call that night for the local stations and he said:
"Why do I have a feeling this is going to be Sundiata Gaines and the storybook is going to be so good it's unreal? 96-94, 5.6 seconds left. Miles to inbound. Korver catch. Gives it off to Price. He's dribbling. He's out of control, gives to Gaines, at the horn - HE GOT IT! HE GOT IT FOR THREE!!! Sundiata Gaines, welcome to the NBA! The Jazz win 97-96!"
this is what you call burning a team to the max if your a Utah jazz fan. If your sundiata then this is called telling the organization I'm staying for the rest of the season!
You have to credit the rest of the Jazz team for trusting someone who just entered the NBA from D-League. Especially Jerry Sloan, for actually fielding Gaines.
This shot felt so good when it went it because the jazz had like a 10+ pts lead with a few minutes left and lebron actually showed some clutch, scoring like 12 straight pts and nearly winning the game if the game if the shot hadnt gone in.
That's Utah. I'm Japanese-American from Seattle, a Sonics and Blazers fan, therefore I HATE Boston Celtics and Utah Jazz! I hate the Lakers and Phoenix too, because EVERY player Boston, Lakers, Phoenix and Utah get become GREAT, while Seattle and Portland got all the bad breaks. If I were white and born in Boston or Utah, I'd LOVE the Jazz and Celtics.
@ozaii890 Yes, you are one. I applaud you for acknowledging it. What did I say for you to call me a "fucking faggot"? I never replied to you, and I didn't say anything wrong, so why call me that?

Sundiata Gaines Game-Winner, 3-Point Buzzer Beater vs Cavaliers
@Rons he is signed for the year now but playoffs are her jazz need to win so D-Will is playing alot more.. Also he only came to the jazz when Williams wrist was hurt
@biglilfro and @cynikal30 I got the same feeling. and @WhereLakerzHappen, i bet you recorded this video because you hate the Cavs. im a Laker fan too! LETS GO KING GAINES!!! better than crybaby loser Lebron James!!!!
KING GAINS!?!?! damn whatta beast dude needs to get signed that was a nasty 3 i wanna see more of this sadly jazz hasn't played him enough for him to show what he's made of after this game :x he's only gotten 1-5min play time after this
THE NBA WHERE AMAZING HAPPENS....haha nice shot this dude came in off an injured Deron Williams playing off a 10 day contract nailing the game winning shot!!! wtf!??!
@theMVPLebronJames...do ur homework bruh bcuz that play by lebron was def a travel, he caught the ball standing still and took a step back lifting up & moving his pivot foot thats a travel it wasnt like he back peddled back and let the ball roll to him if he did that then it wuld of been clean but he didnt if u catch the ball standing still u have 2 put the ball on the floor to move in any direction lbj traveled on that play & any coach or player will tell u that
uumm....kobe....in that buzzer beater vs the kings did NOT travel u guys might wanna go look at sum instructional videos of what a travel is kobe caught the ball, came STR8 down with both feet and rose str8 up into his shot, he didnt take no steps bak or sideways, it was a ordianary catch & shoot play so idk where u guys are coming from talking about he traveled bcuz he didnt it was a clean play, u guys need 2 do sum research & knw wat certain violations are in basketball
Great shot and all, but nobody seems to be mentioning how Anthony Parker f*cked up. No pass denial, late close out? C'mon. I bet Mike Brown ripped him for that
kirilenko sure was lockin lbj up before he got hurt lebron was strugglin against him w/his length & brewer did a good job on him before the refs began givin him all those foul calls late in the 4th in which alot of those lbj initated the contact...& im a laker fan too gotta give utah they respect
haha i was watching this game last night and im like who will the jazz give it to cuz deron williams was out so i thought maybe they would give it to okur or even kyle korver but they gave it to this guy and he was clutch! Haha
That was fucking amazing. Not a cavs or jazz fan(heat fan) but I was watching it anyway. Seriously tho...after Lebron hit that 30 foot fade away I figured they were fucked but I found it very interesting that Sloan put Gaines back in for the last play. When I saw that he was coming back I could just feel that he was going to do something special. Truly amazing now I know it's only a few games but Gaines has a chance be a very special player that shot wasn't a coincidence
the score was 85 91 for the cavs with 35 seconds left pretty much half of the fans left sucks for them. jazz scored 12 points in last 35 seconds to win what a game! what a way to make your first nba three pointer!
Great shot by this former Georgia Bulldog. I saw him lead a young and underrated Bulldog team to an improbable SEC Championship and the first NCAA appearance for the school since 2002 (due to former coach Jim Harrick's illegal recruiting methods).
@nonameddog....im not saying his hard work isnt paying off, but the fact that a key player from his team was injured that night which allowed him to have the playing time to have an opportunity to score a game winning buzzer...people can work hard their entire lives but nothing prepares you for your first buzzer beater in the NBA...
if anybody traveled 4sure, it was lebron on that first 3 he hit when he missed that free throw 2 put em up 1, a player cannot catch the ball w/out puttin the ball on the floor and take a big step back to the 3pt line or in any direction that was a obvious travel that the refs let him get away with so its only fitting how the game ended like this bcuz lebrons ass traveled on that 1..that was a big time shot tho by gaines thats a way 2 make an impression
when he did that 2 step backwards that's not a travel. he basically got a rebound, and took two steps before taking a shot. you dont have to put the ball on the floor if you're taking 2 steps. it's like if someone catches a long pass takes two steps and dunks/makes a layup
Wrong. You can only lift both feet before a shot when you're already moving. Like if you're dribbling to the basket for a layup, you can take two steps. James in this case just grabbed a rebound standing still. Automatically, one of his feet becomes a pivot foot. His first step back was fine but the moment he picked up his other foot to step behind the line, that's a travel. You have to put the ball down before lifting the second foot. But who cares right now? It created an awesome game-winner.
well... kobe pretty much did the equivalent vs. the kings on his buzzer beater since a jumpstop is counted as 2 steps. the rulebook states that you can take 2 steps like that they changed it this year for some odd reason...
it would have been a travel last year. but since they refined the rule it wasn't. just like the kobe shot vs. the kings. before he took a dribble he took a jump step backwards. thats also 2 steps. wasn't called.
@theMVPLebronJames Catching a ball in motion for A layup/dunk, isn't the same as getting the rebound standing still and takeing two steps back. A good analogy would be; If I pass you the ball while you are standing still and you take two steps foward for a shot.
Jazz Fan here, sad to say but if you look at Ronnie Price, he traveled when he caught the ball. Still amazing shot though, and glad refs missed the call.
Doesnt mater, if the two feet move before the ball hits the ground its a travel. It seems to me that the ball hits right after the shuffel, its really close.
Very close... probably was a tiny stutter step but the refs will normally let something that small go. It was literally a matter of inches that he shifted and he barely picked up his foot before dribbling. Good no-call given the situation. However, Lebron's blatantly obvious GIANT step back behind the three after catching the ball and not even taking one dribble was laughable. So, let's call it a wash.... Jazz win.
wow...thats my bestfriends uncle..this guy used to watch us and teach us ball when we were younger..now he on the court Go Yata!

Wrong. You can only lift both feet before a shot when you're already moving. Like if you're dribbling to the basket for a layup, you can take two steps.

@theMVPLebronJames Catching a ball in motion for A layup/dunk, isn't the same as getting the rebound standing still and takeing two steps back. A good analogy would be; If I pass you the ball while you are standing still and you take two steps foward for a shot.

Jazz Fan here, sad to say but if you look at Ronnie Price, he traveled when he caught the ball. Still amazing shot though, and glad refs missed the call.

Look at Price;s feet right when he catches the ball, he does this quick stutter step thing before he puts the ball on the floor.

Its pretty obvious. The Jazz deserve it after the refs like Lebron be a human wrecking ball and get "and ones" when he initiated the contact.

but he dribbles the ball while doing that watch closely

Doesnt mater, if the two feet move before the ball hits the ground its a travel. It seems to me that the ball hits right after the shuffel, its really close.

The refs were terrible all game, and mostly in the Cav's favor. So it's fitting.

Very close... probably was a tiny stutter step but the refs will normally let something that small go. It was literally a matter of inches that he shifted and he barely picked up his foot before dribbling. Good no-call given the situation. However, Lebron's blatantly obvious GIANT step back behind the three after catching the ball and not even taking one dribble was laughable. So, let's call it a wash.... Jazz win.
