It’ll never get better than this for the kid, either. He’ll be a school/town legend until the day he dies.
Just like it was drawn up!
Down 2 with 2 seconds left calls for a back to the basket behind the head heave to win it at the buzzer! #SCTop10 @SportsCenter pic.twitter.com/QX2Ttbt7jV

That shot turns a kid from just another kid into a Jr. High legend small towns talk about for decades.
Basketball games ending with neither team breaking 30 aren’t exciting, but this is. That’s why you sit through kids’ sports, to be honest. Not because the action is outstanding. We sit there because Timmy might heave a half-court three to win the game from an impossible angle changing his entire social trajectory.
This young man’s next school dance is gonna be a feeding frenzy.
That’s how legends are made.
