If you haven’t heard already, last night’s game 6 between the Miami Heat was an absolute thriller of a game. It will be shown in all-time NBA highlights from now until the end of time.
The Boston Celtics trailed the series 3-0, but won games 4 and 5 to set up a crucial game 6 back in Miami. And, for much of the game, Boston was the better team Saturday night. They found themselves up 10 points with 4:30 remaining.
But, in typical 2023 Celtics playoffs fashion, the team could not close. The Heat kept cutting into the lead, and took the lead when with 3.0 seconds left when Jimmy Butler was fouled on a three and made all three free throws.

But, Derrick White came up with what will almost certainly be the play of the year in the NBA this year.

Tons to unpack, obviously, and we have been at BroBible. But, take a look at this.

Oh no. The only thing that would’ve made it funnier is if the confetti went off. Game 7 is on TNT Monday night at 8:30PM.
