Suns try to re-create Booker's buzzer-beater and, yeah, it's tough
Trevor Booker owns the title for the coolest inconsequential shot of the NBA season. It's not even the All-Star break, but it feels safe to say that statement will stand.
On Friday against the Thunder, the Jazz forward took a sideline inbound pass with 0.2 seconds left on the shot clock and, with his back to the basket, tipped the ball over his head and into the net. The level of difficulty, on a scale of one to 10, would be a 10.
The Phoenix Suns, perhaps seeking scientific proof of that rating, thought they'd try to replicate Booker's shot, although not in a live-game setting.
Shavlik Randolph, T.J. Warren and Zoran Dragic gave it a go, and as you might expect it didn't go so well, even without the pressure of a game situation and without defenders on their backs. Randolph and Warren finally got some tip-shots to go, but let's give a little credit where it's due.
Trevor Booker made one heck of a shot.
