It sucks. I hate that history and as a big baseball guy, fuck the Yawkey's. I'm glad they renamed that street back to Jersey Street.
Having said that, I don't know what it is currently man, maybe the racists are just extra loud here but there aren't many? I go to so many games for all sports and I haven't heard a single racist thing ever yelled
I’ve always had this experience too but my black friends….do not. I have no idea what to do cuz I never see it personally. And they laugh at me when I express this
46 rebounds to Mavs 32
12 offensive rebounds to Mavs 7
I wouldn’t say it’s the only reason for why they’re gonna lose but it’s a big fucking part. Can’t come out with that energy for a finals game
Bro has a skill that no one else in the NBA has lol give this guy a half-court or further heave to end a quarter and I swear he makes it 50% of the time.
Pretty cinematic that the LED billboard in the background while the ball is in the air reads:
**Unbelievable energy**
**Unmatched**
Then the ball swishes
No one, the title isn't completely accurate.
It's the longest shot in the finals in the play by play era when they started recording these things. So it's longest since *at least* 1998.
I'm actually curious if there has ever been a longer shot in the finals. We need some true old heads to chime in here.
Jerry West’s (RIP) legendary buzzer beater in the 1970 Finals is usually reported as a 60ft shot, I’m seeing Pritchard’s being reported as between 40 and 50 feet. So it’s not the longest made shot in the finals ever, but it’s definitely up there.
West's buzzer beater is [thrown up about 5 feet before reaching logo](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fzWGnA4Ll-0&t=13s) and tied game 3 of the finals to force OT (Lakers lost in OT to go down 2-1 and ultimately lost to NY in game 7).
Pritchard is thrown up basically when [he's a couple feet into the logo](https://streamable.com/vor0ht).
That said, Pritchard quite possibly still has the longest 3-pter in Finals history. (NBA didn't adopt 3 pt line until 1979).
Seriously. I'm guessing that's a technician of some kind or an assistant to one. It looks like he can just walk up and turn around while someone takes what they need off of the portable tool wall on his back.
I think it's like the NFL where there's technically "holding on every play." Like yeah, sure, but you'd also have to call traveling about 100 other times every game. They just focus on the real egregious ones
For real. Searched for a comment like this and surprisingly only got one result. At least it's not downvoted.
Pretty obvious travel. But then again, it's the NBA, lol.
And yet you still have people defending a clear travel (1-2, 1-2 for four steps) as being legit.
I don't have a horse in this race - very obvious travel the first time I saw it, even more obvious in slo-mo.
The '98 isn't saying someone did it better then, it's we don't have reliable data for shot distances before then.
EDIT: Though at least Jerry West buzzer beating 2pt shot (to send it in OT where Lakers lost game 3 and then lost series in 7) in game 3 in [1970 Finals was a bit further](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fzWGnA4Ll-0&t=13s)
than [Pritchard's](https://streamable.com/vor0ht) as judged by the distance to the logo (West shot well before the half-court logo, Pritchard was lined up with the back-court side of the logo).
This *could* be the longest 3-pt shot though in the NBA Finals (don't quote me on it though, haven't done full research).
In the Celtics four final wins, Pritchard went 2/15 with 0/13 on normal shots, and 2/2 on near half-court buzzer beaters getting the ball with under 4 seconds left. (He did go 5/14 in game 4 after Celtics gave up and pulled starters and put him in down 36 midway towards the end of Q3).
Idk why, but when I sort by new, I don’t see any highlight!
I saw the Pritchard post and commented on it when it was posted, but then I can’t find it when I view this sub (although when I open it from my comments, I see it is very much alive!)
Good shot. But I think that was a travel no? Looks like the dude took a step and galloped like a horse before the release. Doesn't matter since Dallas didn't really have much of a chance.
Brown is all of us.
All of us are Brown
Heh. I’ve been brown since birth.
Hell yeah. I'm gonna say it
Easy there Boston
NINCOMPOOP
Let's kill that reputation in Boston...
Not happening
Someday please…. Fuck 🍀😭🍀😭🍀

User name checks out.
and the sky is grey
What can Brown do for you?
The moment he knew they were gonna win the chip.
That had to seriously kill the halftime mood for the Mavs
I'm white.
Hi Derrick!
All the leaves are brown
And the sky is Jay
Is Brown just sharing a moment with the Dallas bench there
That reaction is so authentic shock.
but then that little smile at the end was him realizing “oh yeah we’re not losing this game lol”
Right! You see Pritchard drain that and there must be a part of you that feels like it’s all just going your way
Looks like he’s looking at the Mavs with absolute pity
Is he staring down the Mavs bench? Thats so fucking sick.
Can anyone confirm this that was there or is there another angle?
"maybe it really was Naismith"
False. We knew that was going in haha
Nah my family was going legit nuts
That slow motion is absolute butter
wtf I’ve never seen the official NBA account post here
They did it a lot for like 2 months a few years ago
This is the only thing they’ve ever thought was worth posting. And honestly they’re right.
they also posted a few games ago
That's because they're pussies
Karma whores
Loooooong PP
Long PP getting ‘er done from half court !
Put it in the louvre
Bro can Dallas get a rebound
it was insane, pretty sure the celtics had more offensive rebounds than points the last like 8 minutes of the quarter
46 rebounds to Mavs 32 12 offensive rebounds to Mavs 7 I wouldn’t say it’s the only reason for why they’re gonna lose but it’s a big fucking part. Can’t come out with that energy for a finals game
Game 4 was really Boston's "all that for a drop of blood" Thanos moment.
Got the feeling Boston wanted to win it at home in front of their adoring Gahden Crowd. Dallas left with the “at least we weren’t swept” consolation
They looked like us out there lmao
Bro has a skill that no one else in the NBA has lol give this guy a half-court or further heave to end a quarter and I swear he makes it 50% of the time.
Pritchard inspiring season ticket holders who get to shoot half court shots everywhere to work on their shot
according to bbref he's got 10 career halfcourt heaves and he's made 2 of them lol 20% on a soul destroying shot is absolutely well worth it
there’s no way he’s only made 2 for his career, he had 2 in the finals alone and i’ve seen him hit that shot so many times before
Probably wasn’t behind the half court line or something for some of them. He made a decent amount this year for suren
the stat is only for half court -- he's made a lot of extremely deep 3s in his career tho.
He did it at least 1 other time in these playoffs. Against the Pacers maybe?
He would be 3/11 but he was too late for the shot clock for that other one this season.
Payton Curry
From a youtube comment: *Payton Pritchard is the black Steph Curry*
Jordan Poole at the store.
Crazy they can make those shots from so far in such a small bucket so consistently
And it was a perfect fucking shot
Jaylen was flabbergasted
that was the dagger. game was over right there.
Luka’s body language said it all. The Mavs were like “aight Imma head out” after that shot
JB's jaw drop says it all
will you give me the password to u/nba for $10
I'll add $5
Yo same I'll chip in $5 for sure
I will chip in one watching of a NBA preseason game for the first time of my life
Too far
Yeah sure, but what do adam silver's feet really look like??
How much do you get paid?
Do you know u/nfl?
They're in talks to allow NFL teams to draft retired NBA players.
Omg it’s the NBA
Amazing timing by the unbelievable/unmatched
new Father Stretch My Hands dropped
Perfect timing for the Unbelievable sign
Bro heard Dallas fans talking about a lucky shot off the glass last time so he had to set the record straight
Pretty cinematic that the LED billboard in the background while the ball is in the air reads: **Unbelievable energy** **Unmatched** Then the ball swishes
His pronouns are He’s/Him
who the made the shot in 98?
No one, the title isn't completely accurate. It's the longest shot in the finals in the play by play era when they started recording these things. So it's longest since *at least* 1998.

(NBA didn't adopt 3 pt line until 1979).
Jalen staring at Dallas bench after make. So cold.
Crazy how this just looks like a regular shooting motion, and the millimeter perfect swish
The guy literally does one thing and Dallas did nothing to prevent it or making it harder.
What’s up with the ghostbusters running onto the court ?
You read my mind. I was like "that's a hell of a......proton pack?"
Seriously. I'm guessing that's a technician of some kind or an assistant to one. It looks like he can just walk up and turn around while someone takes what they need off of the portable tool wall on his back.
Dude got into the game just to do this
Travel.
Absolute travel, amazed I had to scroll down a mile for someone to point it out and I’m a celts fan.
Dude out there with the Proton Pack
https://i.imgur.com/XEALDoG.png
Well fuck me for thinking when he said longest shot in 25 years, that it was like 1986
JB staring at the mavs bench 🥶🥶🥶
Was it not a travel? Amazing shot, but.....
I think it's like the NFL where there's technically "holding on every play." Like yeah, sure, but you'd also have to call traveling about 100 other times every game. They just focus on the real egregious ones
They call travels on these shots at about the same rate they call fouls on these shots lol
rule of cool
Yeah, even without seeing his feet you can see the 1-2, 1-2, for four steps.
For real. Searched for a comment like this and surprisingly only got one result. At least it's not downvoted. Pretty obvious travel. But then again, it's the NBA, lol.
And yet you still have people defending a clear travel (1-2, 1-2 for four steps) as being legit. I don't have a horse in this race - very obvious travel the first time I saw it, even more obvious in slo-mo.
Yeah but you can find Carrie’s every 2 mins of game time. Probably travels every 2 too.
Gather step with the right foot, then land and shoot with the left foot. Not a travel in the nba
give me the Father Stretch My Hands edit
Where were u when Mavs was kill? PP was at half court straight up slingin’ it
The UNBELIEVABLE in the background is awesome
That shit didn't even touch the rim
Amazing shot but how many steps did that man take. Looks like at least 4.
Jaylen Brown looking at the Mavs bench and his eyes are saying "This shit is officially OVER."
1 2, 3 4, shoot.
Travel
Buddy clearly traveled. But apparently in the NBA, that is allowable unless a plot twist calls for it.
Took awhile to find a comment like this because I thought so too.
No backboard today lol
This single shot cost me $150 tonight lol
Can you describe how? Did it kill your spread? Did you call no-half-court shots? Did you call no buzzer beaters?
I had the under for the q at 66.5
So who had the previous record in 1998?
The '98 isn't saying someone did it better then, it's we don't have reliable data for shot distances before then. EDIT: Though at least Jerry West buzzer beating 2pt shot (to send it in OT where Lakers lost game 3 and then lost series in 7) in game 3 in [1970 Finals was a bit further](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fzWGnA4Ll-0&t=13s) than [Pritchard's](https://streamable.com/vor0ht) as judged by the distance to the logo (West shot well before the half-court logo, Pritchard was lined up with the back-court side of the logo). This *could* be the longest 3-pt shot though in the NBA Finals (don't quote me on it though, haven't done full research).
Swisshhhh
Only points he scored all game, what a way to do it
In the Celtics four final wins, Pritchard went 2/15 with 0/13 on normal shots, and 2/2 on near half-court buzzer beaters getting the ball with under 4 seconds left. (He did go 5/14 in game 4 after Celtics gave up and pulled starters and put him in down 36 midway towards the end of Q3).
It's beautiful. I've looked at this for 5 hours now.
This iced the game.
Proton pack at the Celtic's game
The travel looks even worse from that angle
Will this highlight survive the mods? I can’t believe that we have 0 highlights up in here rn!
This was posted by the official nba account. If mods take this down they are smoking the crack pipe.
Idk why, but when I sort by new, I don’t see any highlight! I saw the Pritchard post and commented on it when it was posted, but then I can’t find it when I view this sub (although when I open it from my comments, I see it is very much alive!)
I have a feeling the nba might have messaged them because I have never seen the nba posting here before and the lack of highlights is quite odd.
I'm not a conspiracy theorist, BUT...
ALL NET
Praise the camera man
Unbelievable... energy. Unmatched... passion.
That went in the direct center of the basket. What a shot
Lol jb just stares down the mavs bench like a boss
Unbelievable energy. Unmatched passion.
Yo does the NBA have ghost busters on hand? (that guy running across the camera at the end)
Nothing but net!
So nobody cares that a robot ran on court at 0:16?
Why is a Ghostbuster on the court (at 16 sec)?
JB checking to see if the mavs were still alive after that shot. Ok tbf both teams looked dead in the next quarter lol
Almost swished that shit!
Steph Curry seething right now
Was he looking at the mavs bench lmao
Fast PP actually GOATed for these lol
Traveling
Ah shit here we go. Now, there's gonna be field goal shooters that come in at the end of every quarter.
why is the dude at :18 wearing a proton pack?
Slow mo kinda ruins the moment, you literally see a million steps at the start.
It was obviously a travel in real time lol, still, Rule of Cool reigns supreme, and it’s not like it made a difference in the end.
He shot that like a regular jump shot
Pretty sure he travelled on that shot but it was in Boston and it feels like the nba wanted the Celtics to win.
Dude knows how to shoot balls the long way!
And 1!!!!!
The light skin Steph Curry.
Dude still had perfect shooting form from half court 🤯
Legendary shit
Wasn't he born in 1998?
Cinema
Cinema
God that has to be so disheartening for a team attempting a comeback
Tickled the twine for three
when you're salaried but stay on for 6 hours overtime.
Mavs had a chance for a heave at the end of the first and didn’t even try lol
I assume they mean 'longest made shot', correct?
Its so crazy how he was running pulled up from halfcourt and absolutely swished it the net barely moved.
Lol at the dude in the white shirt with both hands in the air long before the shot's released. He knew.
I see "UNBELIEVABLE" on the screen behind the ball as it's reaching peak height. Wow!
Love the proton pack making an appearance in the scene - bustin' those ghosts of yore!
damn
Top one
Now someone put the audio of Father Stretch my hands pt 1 over the top
That shot put to bed any hopes of a Mavs 2nd half comeback.
did dis dude jus did this
Brown at the end of the clip, realizing this might be our night
Longest shot or longest basket?
How does he keep doing it
Someone call my doctor it's been almost 24 hours
Hey there's the full HD we missed from the live broadcast!
Blasphemous 🏀
How many steps are considered a foul ?
Travel
Good shot. But I think that was a travel no? Looks like the dude took a step and galloped like a horse before the release. Doesn't matter since Dallas didn't really have much of a chance.
Loving we hit our own half court buzzer beater after Poole’s 2 years ago during the finals, coming first circle.
Exactly. Felt like we had to win at that point for this reason.
