The clutch factor can be hard to quantify, but you know it when you see it. Such was the case for the greatest basketball player of all time – and it looks like this high school hooper from Oklahoma has the same gene in him.
Watch Cord McGlothlin sink a game-winning three-pointer at the buzzer against Hammon to send Cheyenne-Reydon to a 38-37 win.
AMAZING SHOT!!! 🏀 Video captured the incredible moment an Oklahoma high school basketball player caught a full-court pass and nailed a buzzer-beater with less than a second left in the game. https://t.co/IbYoM3gdyk pic.twitter.com/ONUCbeXebt

Thoughts: First of all, this was an amazing pass from Brett Allen, who hit McGlothin in stride three quarters of the way down the court. Mostly, this was a remarkable play on many levels from McGlothin. To catch the ball like that, come down and immediately launch an on-target three in one motion speaks to some rare instincts. Hats off.
