Flip Murray throws up an incredible half-court heave

With memories of Meadowlark Lemon sinking hook shots from half-court, Flip Murray gives us his own rendition.

The shot didn’t count which makes this slightly less awesome. And unfortunately for the Bulls, they actually lost the game and fell 1.5 games behind Toronto for that coveted 8th playoff spot in the East. Don’t tell any of that to Bulls guard Derrick Rose though who isn’t shy about his playoff prediction.

“In my mind, we’ll be making the eighth spot. We’ll be playing LeBron [James] — playing Cleveland. The closer we get, the [more] I’m going to think that. We can’t walk around acting like we’re not going to make it, because that’s when things turn on you. Our biggest goal is to make the playoffs, and we’re going to make it.”

If nothing else, I applaud Rose’s confidence and for the Bulls sake, I hope he can back it up.
