Catch up on every single game-winning buzzer beater during the season and see how it rates on the Horry Scale.
How about 2005 NBA FINALS game 5 series tied 2-2 with Pistons up by 2 points nails a 3 pointer leaving 5 seconds on the clock and silencing the crowd.
That was an excellent shot, but by then he was already known for doing that sort of thing.
