UNDISPUTED | Skip Bayless reacts to Max Strus’ 59-foot winning shot as Cavaliers beat Mavs 121-119

Wow good morning it is time to skip the BS time for Undisputed time to talk shot of the night shot of the Year shot of the century Max truce from 59 ft to shock the Mavericks at the buzzer in Cleveland I probably watched this I don’t know 25 times already I can’t get

Enough of it maybe because I’ve never been a mark been fan but the looks of stunned Agony On The MAV faces and the looks of stunned ecstasy on the Cav’s faces well let me see it again and again and again as you’re seeing now that shot was why I’m addicted to watching sports

Night after night after night you just never know what you might see I have a whole lot more to say about that shot in this game but my debate partner Kean Johnson won the toss again this morning and he never defers so he gets the ball first so would you please

Kick us off no it Mr Johnson and give us your thoughts on that shot good morning skip good morning amazing shot chield Factor you think about it you you just beat a team that two guys combin for 85 points in Luca and Kyrie this this is

Why Sports goes 45 and 14 and loses and this is why Sports is is so amazing and crazy and you never give up hope you just never you’re never out of it until the end you’re never out of to that clock says zeros across the board so when you think about getting that

Basketball in your hands and be it’s a walkoff you know a lot of athletes have have scored or done something at the end of games to win but this was this was an amazing shot that goes in just basically for me that’s that’s a a logo shot even

Though when I look at it’s just across half court but he lined it up perfectly lined it up perfectly he put the spin on it I mean I’ve tried that myself 50,000 times I’ve never ever made one likewise never ever made one you know it’s it’s

Not that easy to get the ball that far just shoving it with you but but obviously he’s a professional he knows what to do but when you’re out there messing around at the gym and you just say okay I’m I’mma line it up perfectly in Center Court and I’m going to try to

Push it and get there it’s either fall short or it’s going to go way right way left or too far beyond the basket this is just a and on top of that you have a Defender merging on you and coming towards you luk I mean it’s just like I

Don’t even know what to say other than he hit it the bottom of the net and on top of that it’s um what was it 59 was it 59 fo and so that’s only the fifth player since 1997 to have five threes in the final four minutes of the game I mean it’s

Like think of some of the Todd day now Paul George you would think of back in 2013 yeah but and Dame Lillard you would say yeah but then Todd day uh Troy Daniels and then obviously Max yeah there not like when when I went through

This list I was thinking to myself I was like okay it’s probably Steph Curry it’s probably Klay Thompson Reggie Miller none of those guys are on this list no it’s just it’s crazy it’s weird it’s unpredictably it it it it’s it’s inexplicable and and they got a good basketball team

Though in Cleveland they’re really good they got a good they got a good team in get better and better okay so let’s let’s quickly look at the last sequence because again Luca goes 45 with 14 assists Sensational and let’s see what happened in the last sequence of this

Game where Luca I almost lost the ball there and he makes a really nice feed to PJ Washington who goes up for that that looked like like it’s two seconds left the game over and Mooby gives it right back to stru which you know it that was

A sweet play by Mobley because usually you might turn and look up court but but there’s no time left so he gives it right back to streu and guess who was not in the game was Donovan Mitchell who had been very hot down the stretch also for Cleveland and as streu said after

The game I was lucky because that that should have been Donovan shot but Donovan was out of the game for defensive purposes on that last possession didn’t help but because they scored easily at The Rim but but there’s no Donovan on the floor which gave stru

A chance to play Hero yeah but even so though if if but that it’s not like a normal three no so even having Donovan on the floor you you don’t know you probably want to get it to him at that point but you going get it but you

Probably are trying to get it across the court I don’t know if they would even had enough time to get it across the court probably would have been a different type of inbound pass to get it across the court to be able to knock it

Down you were right okay so it was a nice pass by Luka he G it was a sweet pass Luca played a great basketball game and yet inbounds right back and streu gets a running start which certainly helped with the momentum of getting the ball all the way to the bucket and he

Shot it perfectly cu the it’s that backward reverse rotation that’s just perfectly textbook basketball shot and yet Luca took the fall after the game which he does it’s kind of sarcastic he said it was fault because I should have pressed up on him more but but if you

Watch this closely Luca gets a hand his F you don’t want to foul him you know the last got up off the ground about this okay okay that’s what he does I don’t think he can dunk he tried to dunk in the allstar game hard funny you said

That yeah last night as I’m watching the game I I was sitting there and I said to myself something if he could dunk I I I literally no he could probably dunk but not and and you know even joic has a hard time dunking he’s 7 feet tall I’m

Serious no I I believe are two of the best players in the game I said that last night watching the game watching that I said I said I wonder if he could dunk well in the allstar game he tried to get up and he he couldn’t get it Up

Above the Rim because he doesn’t need to and he is he is 6′ 7 in tall so he just plays off his height but if you watch that last sequence he he does get a little running start and puts a hand in his face which is about all you can ask

Is is that you know this this is a sweet feed and then luuka doesn’t give up on it I mean he doesn’t Dog this play he he he comes you know he he made a jump at him I mean it was more to the side all

Right okay so now let’s look at what Max stru did in the last three minutes and 45 seconds because this is inexplicable to me this is five threes in the last 345 there’s the first one he he outscored Dallas 15 to9 in the last 345

And and he said said every one of them when it left his hand he just knew it was good well you know that well he’s in Rhythm catch and shoot gone yeah okay there’s no Paws in it all of it is Catch and shoot yeah even that one to a degree

Is a catch and catch and shoot it was all right so this is a guy who is shooting 34% from three that ranks 138th in in Bas in the NBA right now of 166 qualified three-point Shooters so it’s not great but he’s having a career year

In his first year with Cleveland he’s 12 uh five and four so it’s pretty good and he starts he starts every game for them and they’re a good basketball team he may have a low percentage in terms of shooting but he has the ability because of his stroke when he when he’s in

Rhythm it’s like any shooter though when they’re in Rhythm they can catch and shoot it’s smooth and flow if you have hesitation and in that catch and shoot you going to miss him all five of those shots even the last one there was was no

Hesitation I got it boom I’m got it boom it’s just there now nobody was really engaging in front of him so it was open looks he should knock those he’s a professional NBA player he should knock those down going away skip okay but he’s a 34% three-point shooter yes 34% with

People in his face okay but but those are they’re not that simple like they’re they’re not completely unguarded shots those shots are unguarded right there though but he just goes into the zone like crazy okay you have been in the zone not as a three-point shooter other

Things yeah in other things where I I can’t explain it but it’s mystical to me how all of a sudden you just think every you’re going to catch every football or whatever it’s a comfort level Skip it’s a it’s it’s a comfort level right like I said all athletes for the most part

You’ve done something at an end of at the end of a game to help your team win okay along the way you get comfortable you know you you say like you say you say well a guy’s 11 of 11 on attempts and catches because I’m now focused in

NFL game I’m sure you know off the top of your head catching wise yeah like where did you have big catches where where the ball just it seemed like it was coming in slow motion to you where were you just
