Who Shot It Better? Kemba Walker vs Charles Barkley

In his final game as a Charlotte Bobcat, Kemba Walker went glass to himself from a step inside the three point line. He was able to finish in traffic much to the delight of those in attendance.

While Tracy McGrady will forever own this move, Charles Barkley may have claim to the longest in-game self-oop in league history. Moses wasn't open...

In addition, it wouldn't be right of us to ignore the 2014 NBA Sixth Man of the Year who has pulled this one out a number of times during his career.

Who Shot It Better? Sam Cassell vs Troy Daniels

Game 3. Rookie guard. Clutch three.


Rookie Troy Daniels aka The Rio Grande Gunner came up big for the Rockets in Game 3 vs Portland, nearly twenty years to the day since a young Sam Cassell buried the Knicks in Game 3 of the '94 Finals.

Who Shot It Better? High Schooler vs Isaiah Rider

Isaiah Rider's story isn't a great one, but he did have a number of showstopping highlights early in his career.

One of these was a blind over the shoulder fling in December '94,  aka the "play of the decade" .

However, just as he wasn't the first to go between the legs in a dunk contest, it seems Rider wasn't the first to hit a shot like this in-game. A high schooler in California pulled off his own "play of the decade" three years earlier.



It doesn't stop there, Eric Murdock went into "play of the decade" mode the very next year, electing to cover himself in glory rather than save the ball to rookie Shawn Respert.
