This could be the basketball shot of the century

4/24/2012

​There's a debate raging on YouTube over what accolade to give this incredible shot. Armands Skele, who plays for BC Kalev in Estonia, isn't really part of the play as his offense tries to score against BC Tarvas. He's hanging out near the top of the key watching every attempt at a basket end with a dead end. But, when a bad pass seems destined to go out of bounds, Skele springs into action, chasing the ball down and, unbelievably, scoring as he scoops it up and blindly throws it back in play. The inadvertent Hail Mary grabs nothing but net, which sparks the debate: Is this the greatest shot of the century, or, as one commenters asks, "just" the year?
