DENVER — In the waning moments of an NBA basketball game, with the score tied 102-102, in the year 2016, DeMar DeRozan calmly dribbled the ball down the court, one possession after he'd given his Toronto Raptors the lead on a 20-foot jumper.
The NBA's leading scorer used a screen from fellow All-Star Kyle Lowry and forced the Denver Nuggets to switch Emmanuel Mudiay onto him. Backing the point guard down, he used every inch of his 6'7" frame and 6'9" wingspan to loft a turnaround jumper at the buzzer.
