Josh Giddey buzzer beater : Aussie basketball sensation Josh Giddey has set the NBA world ablaze with one of the most incredible game-winning shots ever witnessed.
The Australian basketball star has stunned the entire basketball world by sinking a half-court game-winner over LeBron James.
The Chicago Bulls seemed out of contention against the Los Angeles Lakers, trailing 115-110 with just 12.6 seconds remaining.
Out of a timeout, a quick play led to a clutch three-pointer, cutting the deficit to two with 9.8 seconds left.
Then, Josh Giddey seized the moment—intercepting a careless inbounds pass from LeBron James and setting up Coby White, who drilled another three, putting the Bulls ahead by one with 6.1 seconds to go.
The Lakers responded with a timeout, and Austin Reaves drove to the basket for a layup, reclaiming the lead with only 3.3 seconds remaining, leaving the Bulls with the full length of the court to cover.

The ball soared through the air at the United Center before swishing cleanly through the net, igniting pure euphoria among every Bulls fan in the arena.
The unbelievable shot instantly sent the NBA world into a frenzy, leaving fans and analysts in sheer disbelief over what the Aussie had just pulled off.
Rob Perez reacted on X: “One of the craziest finishes to an NBA game you’ll ever see.”

Bleacher Report simply wrote: “Giddey half-court buzzer-beater OMG.”
ESPN’s Michael Kruger was left speechless: “HOLY F***.”
After the chaos inside the arena finally settled, Giddey reflected on his incredible moment.
“Let it fly with confidence,” he told Bulls broadcaster K.C. Johnson postgame.
“I missed two before that, but I let that third one go with confidence—nothing but net. What a way to come back.
“I’ve never hit a game-winner before. I’ve made a couple of layups to put us ahead in the final seconds, but a half-court walk-off like that? Never. I don’t know if I’ll ever do it again, but I’ll take this one tonight.”
