Dirk’s 3-pointer to tie the game vs Iverson half court shot that won the game: Iverson might have made the last buzzer shot to win the game but that was nothing compared to Dirk’s 3-point shot that tied the game. What made Dirk’s shot so impressive was that every one knew Germany was going to give him the ball and yet U.S. wasn’t able to stop him. They even had two guys guarding him. As for Iverson’s shot, it was nothing but pure luck (Sorry Tim, I know you’re a big 76ers fan). Dirk pretty much destroyed U.S. on his own, scoring 32 pts (that’s almost half of what each team scored) and it was nothing less than talent. In the last two games that I’ve seen, I am losing hope in U.S. The way we’re playing we don’t deserve any less lucky buzzer hitter.
