This is our son! He is so grateful for all the support and acknowledgment!
It was a great shot!.
He should quit basketball immediately. Never get on the court again. Best move ever. Legend.
Your son is bad and should quit basketball
@@MarkasTZM I was finna say wtf
your son is better then curry
Love how that dad tried to go and get hype with all the team and then realized he's not on the team but was still really hyper lmaoo. Love itttt
@@thelastjohnwayne holy cringe lmao.
@@thelastjohnwayneGames over, why would he need to stay off the court, other than your personal opinion?
That was my favorite part, the guy was 3 or 4 rows up and just booked it, then, despite the high, just had his own little excited moment.
@@thelastjohnwaynego stay in the corner lmao
Someone's never seen the end of alot of NBA games @@thelastjohnwayne
I like how the cheerleaders genuinely care
Yeah they were pretty excited. That was nice. Great moment all around except I guess for the losing team lol
I didn't know they had cheerleaders still cause where I am they never do.. pretty cool tho
I remember playing a game in middle school where we won by 30-40 points. After the game one of the cheerleaders said "Hey nice game! Did you guys win?"
capt obv
true dat
This is probably the craziest game winner i have seen, nice job young man.
Look up the game winner that happened against NAU (can't remember which team pulled it off).
@@steveberman654gained possession, took two steps, dribbled, gather step, and then two steps = no travel????
@@steveberman654who cares, he sunk the shot
@@steveberman654 found the dad of someone on the other team
@steveberman6542 steps is not a travel. What are you smoking?
i love it when an athlete does something so impressive the refs forget which sport they are officiating.
Looked like a touchdown to me
Actually, this was signaled correctly. A basketball referee will put one arm up to signal a 3 point attempt, which this was, and then put the second arm up “touchdown” style to signal good three pointer if the shot goes down. It’s kind of an irrelevant signal here, but on a normal shot where foot on the line or behind it is a call, the score keeper can look for the ref AFTER the basket to see the 3 point signal.
A three pointer is the same as a touchdown.
agree with the subsequent commentors on the official's mechanics. however, the trailing official's mechanics in this video are off by a little bit. at the time of the shot (desperation heave), the official's left hand should have gone up immediately. it is particularly relevant in this situation because not only does it indicate a valid three-point shot, he would also be indicating that the shot, in his judgment, did in fact "beat the buzzer" and is therefore a legal shot. some ref instructors will even advise that the official say out loud, "good if it goes!" just so everyone knows. i'm kinda 50/50 on that one; seems a little dramatic. anyway, kudos to the player and the official.
What? Two arms up signals a successful three-point attempt. The ref's signaling was correct.
imagine coming to school the next day
Yooooooooooooooooooooooo school after a walk off is amazing. I only had one in HS but dayum baby it don't get better
Next day at school, that guy is a GOD!
The next day everyone wants you to do it again 😂
The way he held the follow through like a jumper even though he released it underhand LMAO! Crazy shot
It was like he was willing the ball into the hoop
the strength to be able to do that with one arm off balance is actually pretty wild
honestly though... i dont even think i at 26 years old could throw a basketball that far 😂
@@CreamyCraigTV yo lol, i remember seeing your comment on the ben walker salt fork vid... youtube is a small world lol
@@SebexstFn hahaha i see that now 🤣
@@CreamyCraigTVyou probably can, but not that far and 10ft high
He's a child in the 8th grade I'm assuming you must be a child also. Lol
Kid was floored by his own achievement. Like, literally floored!
The accuracy of that toss, the ball went straight to the net AMAZING! Looks like it went straight in.
This is a once-in-a-lifetime shot!
Legend says he took the cheerleader captain to the 8th grade formal and never looked back
The low ceiling makes this shot almost impossible. I’m not sure if I could replicate it, let alone in a game. One in a million shot! Truly incredible!
Excellent point
@@jimwertherpun intended?
@@tristano_oce123
Totally not. Didn't think of it at all, actually. But thank you for POINTing it out
@@jimwerther np
Minus the initial travel, the underhand shot is unreal.
He traveled on the rebound and before the shot.
Yeah, I thought so, too and ran it at 1/4 speed. Hard call for the refs of course.
Yup that was the first thing I noticed in the vid. Could u imagine if the ref made that call and had to say no basket!? Yikes.
@@roger3958 I think if I'm reffing 13 year olds and one of them makes that shot, I'm gonna let that travel slide ';O)
Any ref that calls that is a jerk
That was a left handed Jason Williams style toss. Incredible.
How awesome. I have been in that gym plenty of times. Great work young man !
..and at that moment He had every Cheerleader in love with Him.. LOL.. that was an awesome shot
A legend is born! 🎉. Love the shocked faces all around.
It was a travel when he caught the ball after the free throw
@@VivaBarcaLM10 he didn’t have full possession ball when he took those two steps so it wasn’t a travel
And a left handed legend was born. Awesome moment!
The way he shot it, wow
that kid who was sitting on the stands did not want to be at that game
That number 23 on the other team really ate his words😂😂😂
He did it left handed,underhanded,with all the pressure,and still scored the full court GAME WINNER,NOT JUST A BUZZER BEATER,A GAME WINNER.Congrats #44!
basket shouldn’t count, travel.
@@seiiedits and it didn't
Amazing shot! And I must say that gym is beautiful, brilliant blue and the floor is a work of art.
Imagine the rizz this guy had the next day at school
Kid definitely got 5 girls asking for his number 😂
I've watched a lot of buzzer beater videos and this is my favorite shot from all of them. Incredible.
He even hit em with the follow through after that Joakim Noah shot 😭. Shout out to homie 😤. He did something that like 99 percent of humans haven't done and will never do
Even the Ref was impressed
I love how #23 on black team held his hands out like it wasn’t going in but it did 😂😂
The shot heard round the world!
That one kid on the opposing team really did the "no good" arm cross
That’s a core memory right there! Attaboy
Awesome moment for that kid...
even crazier that he did it left handed
i guarantee he is left handed. most people cant even throw a basketball that fair with their dominant arm, no way he would choose to use his non dominant arm and actually end up succeeding
You won the award of the dumbest comment I've ever seen
Left handed people-😐
That kid will remember this moment for the rest of his life ❤️
The moment he hit a lucky shot that he couldn't do again in 100 tries. Lol
crazy underhanded left hand shot. he wasnt even looking. thats insane accuracy
The girl on her phone in the bottom left lmao
Even the ref was like GOAAAAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLL
He should've noticed the travel after the free-throw
@@VivaBarcaLM10So you’re telling me you would have said to the kid, “Hey, i know all of your friends and mom are so proud of you, but you travelled. You lost. I’m sorry” and then strips the award from him? It’s not like its an NBA game. Let it slide
gotta feel for 23 on the other team he misses the free throw then pre fires his celebration
The fact that the young kid in the stands had no reaction
I think even the ref was surprised, he almost left his feet calling it good 😂
Poor guy from the other team who missed the free throw.
I love how that boy had no reaction at all 🤣
It’s the cheer leaders that did it for me😂
Absolutely incredible!! Amazing shot kid!!
Awesome that moment of TRIUMPH 🎉
Great shot . Its only took once in your 'lifetime. '🏀unbelievably
*core memory unlocked* and rightfully so!
Great shot, kid!
For a second, he could say that he genuinely was the main character
Wow! This is amazing. A moment he will remember the rest of his life! 🎉🎉
I’ve never even seen a kid throw a basketball like that 😂 he flung sideways with one arm like it was shotput
Not only was this a buzzer beater to win the game, but it was 10% of the total score. Awesome shot kid, I see a great future ahead of you.
The kid sitting on the bleachers in front... showing ZERO emotion 😂😂😂
That is AWESOOOOOOOOOOOME!!!!!!!!
You can see the shot has a bit of magnus effect on it... that's crazy the kid calculated that in a split second and threw accordingly
Yeah I'm sure he did the math in his head first and didn't just lob a lucky shot. 😂
legend forever
It’s crazy how the ref was even celebrating💀
Um....Scorekeeper: would you please chalk up the 3-pointer on the scoreboard?
Always love these kind of games and reactions
Bro is living every hooper’s dream
Outstanding shot!!!
That gave me the chills
If I was him I would play the lottery!!
Yep, that is MAD!
Ah man that shot will be mentioned for generations!
He’s gonna remember this for life
AND he did it with a skyhook! Kareem would be proud.
When he released it, he likely was shocked by how accurate the trajectory was.
God bless the ream, the cheerleaders, and the spectators!!😁🙏
I had to watch that one a few times!!
Unreal athleticism
Bro so many people stating that the point shouldn't have counted even tho it never changed lol
Bro the kid in the red shirt is confused af 😂
The next day at school had to be crazy😂
sporting of the ref to not call the travel. Super heave bro.
Exactly. I thought that i was the only one who caught the two step travel after he hauled in the rebound before turning to the right and then following that with the monumental throw.
What makes this amazing is this shot was made in a game where the score was 32 to 31! What were they doing the rest of the game?
Insane shot 😳
I like how he tried to put the flick at the end like he definitely meant to throw it like that 😂
I hope he has other moments in his life that come close to this.
This reminds me of the recent Nuggets versus Warriors game! That kid is going places!
Dudes release looked like a finishing blow from an anime
As soon as I clicked on this video I was stunned because I realized I played in a basketball tournament here in middle school 2015.
AWSOME!!!!
That was Amazing 🙂👍
Lol that ref celebrating too w/ his hands up XD
Kid got so excited he fell down 😂 Awesome shot!
This kid may be the protagonist of an 80s teen dramatic-comedy. Someone might wanna keep tabs on him
Ref got up on his tippy toes!! 😂
Bro combined the Yeet and the Kobe. A rare feat.
A Yekobeet?
Nice job kid!
i can only imagine the losing team, how astounded + sad they must've been.
Damn even the cheerleaders for the other team were celebrating 😂 bless this young man, he will cherish this moment forever.
That is unbelievable! That eight grader made a full court shot just like a professional NBA basketball player.
0:23 man that mom couldn't even force that kid to celebrate lmao
I like how the kids is just sitting there like huh what’s going on
that is some crazy arm power
the next day at school must of been crazy 🤩
As a 10th grader, I'd be absolutely destroyed against all of them. He's insane, great job to him.
That’s just crazy
