This Image Of The Knicks Bench After Andrea Bargnani Took The Dumbest Shot Of The Year Is Perfect
The Knicks were up two points with 12 seconds left when Bargnani took possession of a loose ball. If he simply stood still, got fouled, and made his free throws the Knicks would have won. Instead, he hoisted up a three-pointer, it missed, and the Bucks scored on the next possession to send the game to overtime.
"What is he doing?! What is he doing, folks? Why would he shoot the ball? Why?" MSG announcer Walt Clyde Frazier asked immediately after the shot.
