I don't know if this has been asked and answered already. I don't have any suggestions for criteria those who answer should use, just their own judgement, I guess.
Q. What do you consider the greatest single play? What play made your jaw drop farthest and longest?
My answer (until someone convinces me otherwise) is ... end of the DePaul game (seconds left), UConn trails (pretty sure a winning streak was on the line), DePaul gains control of the ball (steal? rebound? not sure and it doesn't matter) and is fast breaking the other way. For all intents and purposes, the game is lost ... until ... Maya Moore sprints the length of the court, catches the ball handler from behind, steals the ball (not enough time left to foul), feeds basketball's ballerina Ketia Swanier who takes it back the other way and hits the game winner. (Technically, that could be considered two plays I suppose.)
What say you? (Wish I had a video of that play, anybody know where I can find one?)
[Edit] UConn missed a foul shot, DePaul rebounded, Maya steal, calls timeout, then Ketia goes length of court. So I guess it was TWO plays ... but ... using my judgement, I call one play, and that's still my answer. Found the replay ...
