Morris Peterson’s 5 best circus shots with the Toronto Raptors
By Graeme Klayh
#1 The Hail Mary buzzer beater (assisted by Michael Ruffin)
During one of his last years in a Raptors uniform, Peterson made this miraculous shot. In the year he fell out of head coach Sam Mitchell’s rotation, he was lucky enough to be in the game for this moment. After the infamous Michael Ruffin pass into the rafters, Peterson corrals the ball with seconds remaining and (literally) throws in the shot to send the game to overtime.
I mentioned luck a lot in these highlights, but it was never more obvious than in this clip that he was one lucky dude. As a basketball fan, I will speak for all of us and say we were lucky to witness the King of Circus Shots.
