How two buzzer beaters and one letter turned into a meaningful friendship

When Romeo Langford slipped with four seconds left and Devonte Green had nowhere to go with the ball, Rob Phinisee came curling around to get the ball at the top of the key.

Phinisee caught the ball with 1.7 seconds left, he took one dribble to his left, rose up from about 30 feet and drained a 3-pointer at the buzzer to give Indiana a 71-68 win over Butler in the 2018 Crossroads Classic.

Nicolas Aguilera, who was 10-years-old at the time, was watching the game on TV in Jasper, Indiana, with his Butler-loving Grandpa.
