Inspired by the post earlier today about player’s whose careers/reputations were wrecked due to one specific possession (e.g. Ben Simmons). Are there any players who had a positive viral moment off of one possession and had it follow them around?
Caruso’s putback dunk over KD comes to mind. I know Mason Plumlee has a mean highlights reel too but idk how much that has helped him. Thoughts?
Feels like the general audience’s opinion of Austin Reaves went from “yet another overrated Laker role player” to “oh shit this dude is for real” in the span of 3 possessions in Game 1 against Memphis last year.
