Wow this is tough but Novak's game winner back in 08-09 was the nicest shot I've possibly ever seen in my life, his game winner changed the game giving them the win. Novak = Jesus

Agreed, Novak is such a beast, I am sad the Rockets traded him.

LOL at so many ppl going w/ Novak's lucky shot! "Novak = Jesus"?! 'beast'?! You can't be serious... Pure fluke.

I bet y'all just picked it 'cause it's the only shot you witnessed from that list?! Did anyone even see Cat's buzzer-beater against the Nets? That shot pretty much kept the Clippers in the playoff hunt:

Or how about that off-balance 23-ft jumper in the second overtime:

I caught Mel Proctor's call in the final seconds, and it sounded like the Clips won the title. It was epic. The whole arena exploded:

I voted Novak. He is definitely a good player and the shot was amazing and deserves the votes.

 

And he is white.

I voted Maggette vs the Lakers because I remember that one, and it was a sick shot

[Real Deal]

Had to go with the Maggette shot against the Heat. For one, I remember it more than I do the others (no idea why), and 23-footer, fadeaway, double OT? Lots of pressure, big shot, defender in his grill.

Couldn't agree more: off-balance and falling out of bounds on the right sideline with Shandon Anderson in his face as he went up, Corey Maggette made probably the biggest shot of his career (so far):

 

“I remember a similar situation in high school when I hit a shot in the last 2 seconds for us to win a big shootout,” said Maggette, who scored 11 of his 28 points in the two overtime periods. But that was the biggest shot I’ve hit with the Clippers. That was the shot that won the game for our team. It was a lucky play and it was great for our team.”

Now isnt that some racist ****. Taking out Novak.

[Sħãlïq™]

Now isnt that some racist ****. Taking out Novak.

No, it ain't. After carefully reviewing the shot it had to be taken out as it falls into a different category.

I'm surprised how much interest you're showing in a Clippers topic...

 

And speaking of racism, I'm not the one letting skin color influence my votes/opinion.
