Posted Feb 10, 2017
All these years later, it still stings. George Karl can still see Glenn Robinson missing that 10-footer at the buzzer in Game 5 of the 2001 NBA Eastern Conference finals. “I can see that jump shot and I can almost replay the emptiness I felt when it didn’t go in,” Karl said. “It was like, ‘Oh, man, we had this one. We had this one.’ ” (Milwaukee Journal Sentinel)
