    Editor's note: This column originally ran in the Detroit Free Press on April 11, 1986. Chet Lemon died on May 8, 2025.

    Here’s the crazy thing about NBA basketball: for all that comes before the final seconds of a tight playoff game, all the hacking, clawing, headbutting, arms flailing, wild shots, incredible putbacks, eye-blinking drives and fallaway jumpers, all anyone remembers is who made the last shot.  Or who missed. Cade Cunningham got the final shot he wanted – “A shot I love,” he would say – middle of the floor, 14 feet out.
