BallinEurope wants your (Eurocentric) buzzer-beaters!

May 1, 2012

As the quick-as-a-flash 2011-12 basketball season grinds to a close in the NBA and all over Europe, BallinEurope asks for your help in compiling the year’s most thrill-creating, best-ever-debating, opposition-hating buzzer-beating shots. When the last European domestic league has tipped off its last, BiE will show you the best of ‘em – and hopefully even do a proper popular-vote poll.

The guidelines for submission are as follows:

• The primary player in the buzzer-beater most be of European nationality or the shot must take place in a game featuring European teams.

• The buzzer-beater must take place at the end of a quarter: No shot-clock buzzer-beaters will do. And naturally, any true dagger – i.e. a killer shot ending the first half, overtime period or game – will be given greater weight in any “Buzzer-Beater of the Year” considerations.

• And, um, that’s it, really.

Post a link to video on YouTube, DailyMotion or any other file-sharing service in the comments section. Better yet, to avoid excessive autobot spamming of the comments section, send those links to ballineurope@yahoo.com.

And now, for a little inspiration, below run a few delicious daggers that BiE’s collected thus far. Happy buzzer-beating!
