“REBOUND BOSH, BACK OUT TO ALLEN, HIS THREE POINTER, BANG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
It was without doubt Mike Breen’s greatest “BANG” call of his career.
The crowd exploded and it was so loud that they couldn’t even hear the ref blowing his whistle to review the play, I’m sure you were able to hear the roar of the crowd on the entire North American continent that very same moment.
It definitely was one of the most clutch shots in NBA history, given the circumstances. I’ll never forget it; no NBA fan will ever forget it.
But, plenty of fans who were in the arena that night, missed this shot!
With the Spurs looking like the obvious winners, thousands of “Heat Fans” left Game 6 of the 2013 NBA Finals early to get a jumpstart on traffic, and missed one of the greatest playoff moments in NBA history, and likely the greatest shot in franchise history. Security rightfully didn’t let them back in.
But, did you know that a Toyota commercial from 2005 exactly foreshadowed the 2013 happenings?
The commercial that aired during Game 6 of the 2005 NBA Finals, and starred Phil Jackson resembled the scenes from the 2013 NBA Finals pretty accurately.
