Not every incredible play goes into the scorebooks.
A clutch touchdown gets called back for holding. A windmill dunk comes a quarter-second after a whistle. A game-changing historical moment simply ... doesn't happen. But everyone still remembers, because something about a play that gets called back ennobles it in our minds.
A play like that just happened in the Houston Rockets and San Antonio Spurs preseason game, with Cam Whitmore's posterizing dunk over Doug McDermott that was waved off by a charge call. That got us thinking of some other incredible plays that didn't count.
