9 incredible photos of Deandre Ayton’s alley-oop

Deandre Ayton gave us one of the most insane game-winning shots ever, and these are the best images of the Suns buzzer beater. 

It wasn’t a mirage, the miracle in the desert was real and we’re still in the infancy of appreciating what we saw.

Deandre Ayton has seemingly come full circle, from a guy who it didn’t take long for many to peg as an NBA Draft bust to a player who just gave us one of the most insane playoff moments ever. Ayton’s alley-oop of an inbound pass from Jae Crowder ended up being the difference in Game 2, boosting the Suns to a 2-0 series lead and putting them on the path to sweep their way to the NBA Finals.

But we’ll read and write all about what Game 3 means, what the keys to success are and so much more. For now, let’s surrender ourselves to being prisoners of the moment and fully appreciate the type of moment we were just given.

Can you imagine what the NFT of this play will go for?

Phoenix seemingly can’t be stopped, not by the Lakers or Nuggets and certainly not by the Clippers. Even the laws of basketball logic have stood no chance against Phoenix, as everything is seemingly going their way and the stars are aligning above the desert for us all to go on a basketball vision quest together.
