The Utah Jazz faced the Oklahoma City Thunder on Friday night when a bit of magic happened. There was roughly a minute left in the second quarter when the Jazz had to in-bounds the ball. With only two-tenths of a second left on the shot clock, Utah Jazz forward Trevor Booker got creative and hit one of the quirkiest shots in NBA history.
Utah’s Gordon Hayward threw Booker a bounce pass on the inbounds play, and Booker did the rest. Booker used a quick touch—with his back to the basket—to get a shot off.
Crazily, the “tap shot” went in.
A shot like that is crazy enough to bring out the MJ shrug.
Thunder point guard Russell Westbrook just stood there in disbelief. It’s not like he could have done anything to stop Booker. There’s really no defense for that shot.
