RJ Barrett's game winner draws similarity to other iconic NBA shots

Former Duke alum RJ Barrett did the unthinkable Friday night, sending the Toronto Raptors to Game 7 on an unbelievable bouncing three-pointer.

Barrett knocked down the improbable shot with 1.2 seconds remaining, propelling the Raptors to a 112-110 victory in overtime.

Following the shot, the NBA community was quick to make comparisons, comparing the shot to two iconic game-winners.

The first and most recent was Tyrese Haliburton 's game-tying shot to force overtime in Game 1 of last year's Eastern Conference Finals.

Haliburton tweeted after seeing Barrett's jumper, saying, "That looked familiar."

In addition to Haliburton's unthinkable shot, Barrett's game-winner was also compared to Kawhi Leonard 's, given that they both occurred in Toronto.

Not only was that shot a bit different from Barrett's, as it took multiple bounces off the rim, but the stakes were also a bit higher, as Leonard's was a buzzer-beater in Game 7 of the Eastern Conference semifinals.

Either way, Barret's shot will go down in playoff history. That said, it will be received even better if Toronto is able to win Game 7 Sunday.
