Bumming the ultimate kill to write a legend! Jordan leads the way 9 times, Kobe and James are equally dazzling 8 times

When the 38-year-old LeBron played against the Nets in late autumn of 2021, the elegant three-pointer cut through the sky, and the roar of the commentator almost broke the dome of the arena - this buzzer-beating strike allowed him to tie the glory of Kobe's eight buzzer-beating kills in his career! However, few people remember that as early as thirty years ago, a legend wearing the No. 23 battle robe had already engraved himself forever on the top of history with nine fatal ends. Behind this buzzer-beating list, how many boiling nights are hidden that make fans' bloodlines and remote controls suffer? Why can Michael Jordan get a big gap in the superstars?

The God of Basketball Jordan's 9 buzzer-beating kills, each of which is comparable to the classic scene of a movie script. On November 11, late autumn of 1984, he was still in his rookie year and made a virginity win over the New York Knicks. His fatal shot 0.3 seconds before the final game locked the score at 118-116, and the bustling voices in Madison Square Garden instantly fell into silence. The playoff stage on May 7, 1989 was even more thrilling. In the fifth life-and-death battle against the Cavaliers series, he received the ball in the last 3 seconds and shook the defense and completed "The Shot" with an iconic backward. The final number of 101-100 made Cleveland fans burst into tears on the spot. The ball was publicly recommended as one of the most iconic moments in NBA playoff history.

On January 22, 1990, Jordan landed again at the Boston Garden Arena to present his masterpiece. The Celtics' home floor seemed to tremble when he made a move. The final whistle was frozen 117-115, and Bird Bird clenched his fists at the sideline. On November 11, 1992, he encountered the Pistons, and the steel defense line built by the "Bad Boys Legion" failed to stop him. The emergency stop jump shot in the first 1.2 seconds before the final game was rewritten to 98-96. Detroit suddenly felt like it was taken away at home. On March 18, 1997, he played away against the Hornets. He faced extreme fatigue similar to the flu and finally locked the score at 103-101 with a precise shot. After the game, he poured into Pippen's arms like a burst, freezing it into an immortal classic.

Kobe's eight final kills were soaked in the unique cold-blooded temperament of "Black Mamba", and each time it was filled with the cold murderous intent of no one else but me. On December 6, 2000, he faced the Warriors. He received the ball 0.5 seconds before the final game. The score of 105-103 brought the hustle and bustle of the Oracle Arena abruptly. This was the first time in his career that he had a buzzer-beating victory. The commentator at the time exclaimed, "The young man had a wild flame burning in his eyes." In the playoffs against the Suns on April 30, 2006, Kobe quickly turned around in the last 0.7 seconds, and a super difficult backward rewrite to 98-96. Steve Nash stayed on the sideline for a long time and admitted afterwards that "the ball seemed to be equipped with a guidance system."

When the Heat were in the Heat on December 5, 2009, Wade could only watch Kobe score the winning goal on his head. The 108-107 score suddenly cooled down the heat wave at Miami at home. After the game, Kobe said bluntly to the camera, "This taste is intoxicating." In the 2010 New Year's Day matchup against the Kings, the last 1 second of the elegance three-pointer finally fixed the score at 109-108. The snack packaging in the hands of the Sacramento audience was instantly crushed, and this ball was also regarded as one of the most beautiful kills in his career.

LeBron James' eight finals demonstrate the majestic aura of "king". From the green years to the forties, his end became more and more steady. On March 23, 2006, he played against the Wizards. At the age of 21, he completed his final score with a breakthrough and a 113-111 ending that Washington fell into collective aphasia at home. At that time, he was still gritting his braces excitedly. On May 22, 2013, the Pacers fought against the Pacers. The last 2.2 seconds of the deadly jump shot turned the score to 93-91. Paul George had no choice but to admit after the game, "I have defended to the extreme."

In the playoffs against the Raptors on May 5, 2018, James hit a three-pointer against DeRozan 1 second before the final game. The score of 105-103 made Toronto silent at home. In this game, he was later named "The Lord of the King of Heaven". On November 24, 2021, he played again in the Nets. At the age of 37, he used a elegant three-pointer to complete the finale. The 114-112 ending made Durant on the sidelines shake his head repeatedly. Who could have expected that this "30-year-old veteran" was still writing a legendary chapter?

Joe Johnson's 8 final kills hidden the unrestrained sharpness of the "Eagle King". On January 8, 2007, the last 0.5-second jump shot nailed the score to 111-109, and Nash once again became a tragic background; on February 27, 2010, his three-pointer magically rewritten the score to 99-98, and Milwaukee audiences could hardly believe the scene in front of them. This cold-faced killer, known as the "Key Ms. Contemporary" can always give his opponent a fatal blow in silent place.

Paul Pierce's seven kills are imbued with the tenacity of "truth". On May 6, 2002, he encountered the Pistons in the playoffs, and the last three-second jump shot fixed the score at 83-81. Detroit's iron wall was useless in front of him. On February 16, 2005, he turned around and jumped to complete the final shot. The 104-102 ended up overshadowing the lights at Phoenix's home court.

These buzzer-beating kills are far from cold numbers. They are the brilliant crystallization of the courage and responsibility of superstars in the flash. Jordan's 9 times are imprinted with his ultimate paranoidness towards victory; Kobe's 8 times are flowing with the unyielding genetic code of Black Mamba; LeBron's 8 times are embodied with his 20-year-old steel self-discipline. Every final sound is a big bet made by players and fate, and it is also the ultimate interpretation of the captivating charm of competitive sports.

So, what is the classic kill that lingers in your mind? LeBron is still writing legendary epics. Will he be able to cross the peak record of Flying Man one day?
