One of the most unbelievable things I have ever witnessed.

just sucks that I can't fast forward to the fourth quarter, I have to sit through three quarters of hell just to see what I want to see or just wait it out until the fourth I suppose

Nope. The time for questions is over. Now it's time to put this into action.

No matter how I feel right now at the moment, tonight I take my hat off to Buddy #24, and the whole team. They all deserve this one!

Hopefully the beginning of season was the first 3 quarters of this game and the rest of the season is the 4th and OT.

Something is up, but not in our physical realm. What happened tonight is not "normal" by any stretch, and I do believe there was some.sort of "spiritual" intervention. Tonight was just odd, awesome and great, but odd. This was not a normal game, by any stretch. And I'm not sure I've seen a game like this in any other professional sport. I'm at a loss for words...

Apparently tonight's game wasn't the only game with these types of coincidences...
Check this link out based on the Hawks/Suns games last night. The numbers are crazy and I'm starting to wonder..

Been waiting for Buddy to break out like this. I don't think there's any other player in the league who needed a big game as bad as Buddy did. Now the question is, can he maintain this level of play.
Not scoring 40+ every game obviously, just scoring 20-30 with more efficient numbers.

I sent this text to my brother summarizing this remarkable event, I'll copy it here for you all:
Last night, the Kings were down 17 points with about 2:49 remaining against the T-wolves, and went on to win the game in OT. At one point in the game, they were down 25 points. Since the NBA started keeping play by play stats in 1997, teams were 0-8,378 after being down 17 points with less than three minutes to go. Buddy Heild scored 20 points in the quarter on a perfect 6 of 6 shooting. After the game, Buddy said “I felt like Kobe was with me”. The only other player in NBA history to score 20 points on perfect 4th quarter shooting in a game his team had been down by 25 points and went on to win? Kobe Bryant. Buddy’s childhood hero? Kobe Bryant. Buddy’s jersey number? 24, same as Kobe’s second jersey number. Buddy's rebound and assist numbers in the game? 5 and 3 = 8, Kobe Bryants first jersey number. Buddy's point total for the game? 42. 24, reversed.
