Sometimes, you’re in the right place at the right time for the perfect shot. It certainly helps to be courtside at Madison Square Garden, standing right in front of the hero of one of the greatest NBA Finals games of all time as he takes off to make an instantly legendary play. That was the case for ESPN/Prime Video analyst Kirk Herbstreit for Game 4 of Knicks vs. Spurs on Wednesday night.
Herbstreit had a prime spot among the many, many celebrities positioned around the court for perhaps the greatest win in New York history, just feet away from San Antonio coach Mitch Johnson. As the Knicks inbounded the ball with just over five seconds left and a chance to win the game Herbstreit instinctively took out his phone, as we all do when we think history might unfold in front of our eyes.
