Dude, just admit that he came through in the clutch. A lot of the NBA wouldn't have made that shot. He had to decide whether to pass to the wide open guy to his left (also known as Steve Nash aka the MVP of the league) or shoot the three. If he made it the game would go into overtime, if he missed they'd lose the game and series. I'd say less than 50% of the league would have made that shot (with some not taking it at all, but instead passing it to the MVP).

If you were watching the game you'd know when he shot it that it wasn't a given that it was going to go in. Nobody who was watching said any shit like this right after he side stepped, "Oh, game over." Hell no, the pressure and the fact that Tim Thomas really isn't a star three pointer at all put up the big possibility that he could miss it.

Doesn't really matter, though. You can cry about that moment all the way until Monday when the Suns host the Clippers.
