We all remember that Arike missed a key free throw in the 2019 National Championship game that would have tied the game against Baylor. We also remember the 2018 National Championship game, when she made the buzzer beater from the deep right corner to give Notre Dame the win over Mississippi State. Well, Kawhi Leonard of the Toronto Raptors completed a Full Reverse Arike in the last 10.8 seconds yesterday in a quarterfinal game 7 of the NBA Playoffs.
With Toronto leading by 1 and 10.8 seconds to go, Kawhi was fouled. He made the first FT, but missed the second. Oh, the agony! On the Sixer's ensuing possession, Jimmy Butler raced downcourt for a game-tying layup. Toronto took a time-out with 4.2 seconds remaining and called a play for Leonard, who already had 39 points in the game. He dribbled right, going past defender Ben Simmons, then went into the corner, where 7'0" Joel Embiid came out to contest the shot. Kawhi lofted the ball high into the air. It hit the near rim and bounced straight up. Then it hit the near rim a second time. Then it hit the far rim once and then twice. After bouncing off iron four times, the ball fell through the hoop to give Toronto the game and the series. It was the first Game 7 buzzer beater in NBA history.
Here's the historic play:

Uhm... you are not gonna be considered the voice of reason much longer if you keep posting gut punching stuff like this to an entire city. 
. None of the players on the floor at game's end will ever forget that game.
Stay tuned.
