Kobe Bryant thought that was an off-balance, contested, impossible shot.

But Danilo Gallinari nailed what everyone thought would be the game winner for the Nuggets over the Hawks with a corner three that few people would even have attempted. And we’re pretty sure George Karl said something like, “Great shot kid — don’t ever take one like it again.”

It turned out not to be the game winner, there was a whole overtime of basketball ahead.

But still the shot is one of the highlights of the year.
