Paul George hits the shot of the year with an incredible, over-the-backboard floater

The Los Angeles Clippers knew Paul George would hit plenty of shots for them this season, but they probably didn’t expect this.

George delivered the shot of the year with an incredible, over-the-backboard floater during Sunday’s game against the New York Knicks. The play occurred with 9:28 to go in the third quarter.

As George is driving to the basket, he gets fouled by New York Knicks rookie RJ Barrett. The foul alters George’s momentum, taking him behind the rim and out of bounds. In a desperate attempt to make something happen, George floats a shot over the backboard hoping it goes in.
