I love everything about basketball. When one reaches to the sky, arms outstretched towards the ultimate goal, I see poetry. I see poetry when someone puts together such a set of movements with their hands that the person in front of them cannot possibly keep up. I see ballet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">The buzzer beater, for example, is one of my favourite considerations of basketball. To launch a shot, a final and hopeful shot: one chance to reach glory, to reach excellence. And when it goes in, the passion, the celebration &#8211; it is the ultimate representation of reaching a new height at the final and only moment you can.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"nv-iframe-embed\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Kawhi Leonard Wins The Series At The Buzzer!
