Watch NBA Superstar Heave In Bonkers Game-Winner From Beyond Half-Court

LOADINGERROR LOADING

Trae Young just sank one of the coolest long-distance buzzer-beaters in recent memory. (Watch the video below.)

The Atlanta Hawks guard heaved a shot from beyond half-court that hit nothing but net to beat the host Utah Jazz, 124-121, on Tuesday.

“Can you believe that?” one announcer said.

Young, who’s the Hawks’ leader in career 3-pointers, could.

“When there’s time left, I always feel like we can score,” he said, per The Associated Press.

The three-time NBA All-Star had 24 points and 20 assists in a monster game capped by a stunning moment.

One fan wondered on X (formerly Twitter) if it was perhaps the “play of the year” while another dubbed the shot “the game winner of the decade.”
