Sports Photo Of The Year?



The situation:  Game 7, Toronto Raptors vs the Philadelphia 76'ers.  Game tied at 90.  4.2 seconds left.

The Raptor's Kawhi Leonard took a desperation shot at the buzzer over Philadelphia's 7 foot giant Joel Embiid.

It hit the rim and bounced.  4 times.

This photo is the instant before anybody knew whether the shot - to win the series - was good.

Leonard is the guy in white squatting, lower left.  Embiid is peering over the basket support, upper left.  The rest are the Raptor's bench.

This is an example where one picture is way more powerful than a video.  And certainly supports the old axiom, a picture is worth a thousand words.......



P.S. The shot was good.
