The officials started the clock .2 seconds too late. Clock starts when the ball is received. Slow motion the video. Derek Fisher shot the ball with .1 on the clock. He has .2 to move before the clock started. Therefore Derek Fisher's shot took .5 seconds.
i dont care what anybody says, dfish will always be a laker in my eyes. the man played with all his heart and created some of my favourite moments in NBA basketball. the 0.4 second game winner. clutch three pointers against orlando in 09 finals. the game changing fourth quarter in game 3 2010 against boston (emotional postgame interview). and the game tying three pointer in game 7 of the same series. i'll never forget this guy. laker for life.
There were a few things that made this shot even better. 1. It was right after another very clutch shot 2. 4/10th of a second left 3. They ran away before it could be reviewed.
Im in college now and this happened when I was in 3rd grade and I still remember this like it was yesterday. My whole family(20+ people) was gathered at my grandparents house and when Fisher made the shot everybody was screaming and hugging each other. Damn those were some GREAT times
The shot heard around San Antonio... I was only 12 when I watched this live and I felt my heart sink when Duncan drained that fade away but Fisher came to the rescue. All basketball fans will remember this as one of the greatest buzzer beaters of all time.
i remeber watchin this and cryin my eyes out wen spurs hit the first one and i ran out the room then my mom called me back in and saw fisher with tht shot greatest feelin ever!!
I cant believe they traded you Fish. You will always be a Laker and I am so happy that I got the chance to see you play 3 weeks ago in the purple and gold uniform :')
derek fisher is probably the most clutch player in nba playoff history. take this shot, than the shot against the magic in 2009 finals and the the shot against the three celtic players in 2010 finals. dont expect too much from fisher in the regular season, he is a postseason player, a killer.
I saw that live game on TV, and I also roared laudly with my roommates after that final shot. Truly speaking, It's really an impresive buzzer. It really is!
To be fair, they were a bit imprecise with pausing the clock at 0.4 seconds... The shot was drained roughly around 0.6 seconds. :P Under normal circumstances, it'd be inconsiderable, but if Fisher managed to make a shot on such scanty time... Yep, it's less inconsequential (not that they could have seen it coming).
I love the reaction of SAS fans faces when fisher shot it in, Its so priceless i laugh at them every-time i see it. They actually thought they had it.....
i was watchin this live. i was only 12 or 13 at the time but i remember screaming at the top of my lungs in excitement when fisher made the shot..good times
Because HD televisions nor HD cable/satalite were widely available or affordable 8 years ago, my guess is this was recorded to a PC with a TV tuner from regular cable TV because the quality is much higher then that of a VHS
In the NBA the clock doesn't restart when it is inbounded but when the first on-court player makes contact with the ball. So here the clock doesn't start until fisher touches the ball.
I remember I was in a bar in Abilene, TX watching this game. One of the two guys in the whole bar going for the lakers! Man I'm lucky to be alive today! LOL
Sincerely, thank you so much for the clarification. I thought the shooter was holding the ball that entire time. I didn't notice the guy on the sidelines waiting to throw it.
my dad threw his house phone across the room when this happened. now thats a true lakers fan. wish some more of my golden state fans could be like that.
Together, the 2 most back to back clutch shots. U can celebrate, just get ur shit together, and make sure you are triple teaming the FISH next time. Laker fan here, the Duncan shot was amazing, celebration was to psych us out, as a fan it worked. FOR FISH, NOT SO MUCH. Calm, collected, Fish ALL DAY
I like this video only because the spurs have class. But I loved the video showing Kobe and Fisher crying when the spurs shut down the. - Fabulous Forum- . The last game played there! that was classic!
I was in Germany working the graveyard shift in the ER. Watching the game in the waiting room, then running and yelling down the quiet hospital hallways when he hit that shot. Ah the look on the haters faces ... priceless!
@AirJordan337 that might of been a rule change. You used to be able to jump over the free throw line, dunk it in, and land outside. Wilt Chamberlain did it.
Just another reason why i will never doubt fisher. idc if he's 46, averaging 2ppg, and plays on a wheelchair. When the 4th qtr comes along, he's just as dangerous as Kobe.
man i can feel the shocked and sadness from the spurs players by watching this video LOL that shot was brutal. "rip out my heart and rub it in my face why dontcha" type shot
for the records though. Jackson called the lakers time out after Duncan's basket. Then the players went to the floor. Then Popovic called a time out for the Spurs. then Jackson called another time out then he sent the players in a random position to fake a play. Then he called another time out and set that play up for Fisher... Just to show you how smart Jackson is.... 3 time outs were called to make that play. Spurs were up on that series 2-0 but Lakers went on to win in 4-2..
I remember watching this with my dad absolute epic game. He was on the "hate the lakers bandwagon and i wanted karl malone to get a ring....awesome night for me lol
the Spurs got their Revenge on Thursday with McDyee's tip in at the Buzzer, eventhough that was a Regular Season game and not a Playoff game, still, the Lakers ended up losing the 2004 NBA Finals to the Pistons that year
halfway to the airport before the refs reviewed the play....
The ending of this game will NEVER be topped!
Great shot by Tim Duncan, but an even better shot by Derek Fisher.
Wish lakers would've won the ship that yr to make this historic shot even more unbelievable. Still the best buzzer beater I've ever watched.
Spurs and their crowd got REAL FUCKIN QUIET.....LMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11
The officials started the clock .2 seconds too late. Clock starts when the ball is received. Slow motion the video. Derek Fisher shot the ball with .1 on the clock. He has .2 to move before the clock started. Therefore Derek Fisher's shot took .5 seconds.
they also stopped the clock .3 seconds too late on Timmy made shots. so it all adds up. official counted it and who are we to say it didnt count.
Thanks for the great memories at Los Angeles. This is my all time favorite play. Derek Fisher is legend.
i dont care what anybody says, dfish will always be a laker in my eyes. the man played with all his heart and created some of my favourite moments in NBA basketball. the 0.4 second game winner. clutch three pointers against orlando in 09 finals. the game changing fourth quarter in game 3 2010 against boston (emotional postgame interview). and the game tying three pointer in game 7 of the same series. i'll never forget this guy. laker for life.
Worst celebration of all time
i still remember watching this live when i was a kid. thank you derek fisher for the memories.
1:37 that subtle laugh from phil jackson was priceless
1:37
There were a few things that made this shot even better.
1. It was right after another very clutch shot
2. 4/10th of a second left
3. They ran away before it could be reviewed.
The two best clutch shots of the decade, bloody amazing!
Thank you so much D-Fish, as a Laker fan I will always remember these moments.
Im in college now and this happened when I was in 3rd grade and I still remember this like it was yesterday. My whole family(20+ people) was gathered at my grandparents house and when Fisher made the shot everybody was screaming and hugging each other. Damn those were some GREAT times

tim duncans shot was amazing too
I remember that game. This is why Derek Fisher is one of my favorite players. Don't underestimate D Fish!
WE MISS YOU FISH. THANKS FOR ALL THE MEMORIES
I was at a Hooters with a friend of mine watching this live...One of the best last five seconds of a game in NBA history.
Talk about an incredible clutch play upon another incredible clutch play
Wow I still remember watching this shot on t.v. Still to this day, the best buzzer beater I have ever seen
i remeber watchin this and cryin my eyes out wen spurs hit the first one and i ran out the room then my mom called me back in and saw fisher with tht shot greatest feelin ever!!
The best shot of my childhood, i swear in elementary this is all we used to practice in LA as young kids
The Laker fans will miss you Fisher. Thanks for the memories.
Without a doubt, one of the greatest moments in NBA history.
ok i'm a Jazz fan but that shot was BEAUTIFUL its one of the greatest buzzer beaters in my book great job D-Fish
@ 1:20 look at Pop just standing there like a boss as his star player makes the game leading shot while everyone else is going crazy.
I remember this like it was yesterday, best buzzer beater all of all time.
not just a great play, a great series of plays, and a great call by the great al michaels.
Thx for the good moment Fisher :') We will miss you
I cant believe they traded you Fish. You will always be a Laker and I am so happy that I got the chance to see you play 3 weeks ago in the purple and gold uniform :')
derek fisher is probably the most clutch player in nba playoff history. take this shot, than the shot against the magic in 2009 finals and the the shot against the three celtic players in 2010 finals.
dont expect too much from fisher in the regular season, he is a postseason player, a killer.
derek fisher will always be a lakers to us fans, fish you will be missed
As a lifelong Spurs fan I always get a little excited when Duncan hits that shot even though I still know what's going to happen later.
I saw that live game on TV, and I also roared laudly with my roommates after that final shot. Truly speaking, It's really an impresive buzzer. It really is!
derek fisher is underrated in the nba, he always makes the big shot, if kobe doesnt show up. I have alot of respect foer him as an nba player.
never seen a place erupt then go mute a couple seconds later...what made it even better was i was stationed in texas when i saw that game
best buzzerbeater in history
the music in the arena after duncan makes it makes it realllllllllllllllllly epic
To be fair, they were a bit imprecise with pausing the clock at 0.4 seconds... The shot was drained roughly around 0.6 seconds. :P Under normal circumstances, it'd be inconsiderable, but if Fisher managed to make a shot on such scanty time... Yep, it's less inconsequential (not that they could have seen it coming).
i cant get over how awesome this shot is
I love the reaction of SAS fans faces when fisher shot it in, Its so priceless i laugh at them every-time i see it. They actually thought they had it.....
i was watchin this live. i was only 12 or 13 at the time but i remember screaming at the top of my lungs in excitement when fisher made the shot..good times
Because HD televisions nor HD cable/satalite were widely available or affordable 8 years ago, my guess is this was recorded to a PC with a TV tuner from regular cable TV because the quality is much higher then that of a VHS
Pop's poker face when duncan made that shot is priceless
the ending of this game is one of the most exciting moments in the history of professional sports
Derek's best game winning killcam
i think that's the best comeback EVER! Happy belated birthday to your mom as well
Not too often you see two amazing game-winning shots in the same game...Timmy D's shot wins the game in 99.9999% of basketball games.
In the NBA the clock doesn't restart when it is inbounded but when the first on-court player makes contact with the ball. So here the clock doesn't start until fisher touches the ball.
I remember this exact moment live, thanks for the memory fish
I remember I was in a bar in Abilene, TX watching this game. One of the two guys in the whole bar going for the lakers! Man I'm lucky to be alive today! LOL
gotta love doc rivers commentary. he was the best
Sincerely, thank you so much for the clarification. I thought the shooter was holding the ball that entire time. I didn't notice the guy on the sidelines waiting to throw it.
I will always love my man D-FISH! Once a Laker, forever a Laker!
Thumbs-Up for our boy D-FISH!!
This was unarguably one of the best game i've seen
i like how it was so loud in the building one moment and the next moment you can actually hear crickets lol.
This is sports at its best. Going from the lowest of lows, to the highest of highs in the matter of seconds, and vice versa.
Great Job D-Fish! You just broke 18,000 people's hearts!
my dad threw his house phone across the room when this happened. now thats a true lakers fan. wish some more of my golden state fans could be like that.
hands down, best buzzer beater ever.
Together, the 2 most back to back clutch shots.
U can celebrate, just get ur shit together, and make sure you are triple teaming the FISH next time.
Laker fan here, the Duncan shot was amazing, celebration was to psych us out, as a fan it worked. FOR FISH, NOT SO MUCH. Calm, collected, Fish ALL DAY
Top 5 clutch/game winner shots of all time
Greatest moment ever. I remember seeing Duncan make that shot and I was like WTF how could he make that..Then Fisher makes it I felt like crying
I like this video only because the spurs have class. But I loved the video showing Kobe and Fisher crying when the spurs shut down the. - Fabulous Forum- . The last game played there!
that was classic!
Fisher will always be a Laker in my eyes...he will be greatly missed!
man this brings me back to being a kid. All of 818 blew up when he made this shot.
I was in Germany working the graveyard shift in the ER. Watching the game in the waiting room, then running and yelling down the quiet hospital hallways when he hit that shot. Ah the look on the haters faces ... priceless!
Bruce Bowen's reaction at 1:42 is priceless.
to this day this play still breaks my heart, but i cant hate on it
- Spurs fan
@AirJordan337 that might of been a rule change.
You used to be able to jump over the free throw line, dunk it in, and land outside.
Wilt Chamberlain did it.
And this was when I fell in love with Derek Fisher.
I remember watching this live as a kid, oh man me and my cousins went crazy after fisher hit that shot.
Damn I still remember this shot like if it was yesterday celebrating with my bro
damn... Fisher's shot was incredible but you have to give props to Duncan, his shot is ridiculous.
i watch this shit whenever i feel like i need an energy boost god damn it
1:50 Horry is like "I knew I shouldn't have left the Lakers"
they were all celebrating and then fisher nails it...and they were all jaw dropped
haha
Thank you, Fish! We might not be able to fish anyone like you on the court.
derek fisher has broken the hearts of the san antonio spurs...... AGAIN!!!
still one of the most epic shots ever.
"One great shot deserves another." - Shaquille O'Neal
this is one of those "you remember exactly what you were doing when this happened" moments
the best buzzer beater ever GO LAKERS!!!
Just another reason why i will never doubt fisher. idc if he's 46, averaging 2ppg, and plays on a wheelchair. When the 4th qtr comes along, he's just as dangerous as Kobe.
man i can feel the shocked and sadness from the spurs players by watching this video LOL
that shot was brutal. "rip out my heart and rub it in my face why dontcha" type shot
'One lucky shot deserves another' - Shaquille O'neal
i like how the spurs were all like yeah we won we won
then d fish hits a clutch shot to win it and they're like :O
gotta love the lakers
for the records though. Jackson called the lakers time out after Duncan's basket. Then the players went to the floor. Then Popovic called a time out for the Spurs. then Jackson called another time out then he sent the players in a random position to fake a play. Then he called another time out and set that play up for Fisher... Just to show you how smart Jackson is.... 3 time outs were called to make that play.

I remember watching this with my dad absolute epic game. He was on the "hate the lakers bandwagon and i wanted karl malone to get a ring....awesome night for me lol
Best buzzer beat ever! Proven fact too!
the Spurs got their Revenge on Thursday with McDyee's tip in at the Buzzer, eventhough that was a Regular Season game and not a Playoff game, still, the Lakers ended up losing the 2004 NBA Finals to the Pistons that year
This shot still gets me going crazy
i remember watching this game on tv....
i was so happy that the lakers won
The best part of the video is how Phil Jackson Walks away with no type of expession on his face whatsoever.
@Isonny21 it's not the dribble. Look at 0:58, he moved his pivot foot to dribble. You can only lift your pivot foot if you're gonna pass or shoot.
I don't think I've ever seen Fisher run as fast as he did after he made the shot.
The Spurs players' reactions are priceless
THIS WAS WHEN I FELL IN LOVE WITH BASKETBALL
