3 seconds

There's three seconds left
We're down by one
I've been on the bench all game
Im the only one left to sub
Our star forward just fouled out
A loose ball the call
After the body's were separated
It's now the opponents ball
My shoulder was tapped on
" Jim you're in the game !
It's man to man defense
Now get to your defenders name !"
The referee hands the ball
To an opposing player on the side
He starts to look to pass it
So to let the seconds tick on by
I'm on the court in a frenzy
Holy shit , where is my man
I look and he is standing there wide open
Waving both his hands
Two quick steps toward him
Followed by two long strides
The out of bounds ball is passed
Just as I get to his side
I knock the ball forward
It then bounces on the ground
Another step it's in my hands
I step and turn around
Two seconds tick away
As I gain and take ball control
I square up to the basket
And let my only shot go
The ball spins in the air
The buzzers sound is ringing loud
There is not a sound from the stands
Coming from the sellout crowd
As I watch the ball hit gently
Soft , on top of the rim
It follows its path of trajectory
Dropping through the net with a spin
My team mates are amazed
That I made such a play
A buzzer beater game winner
Saved a victory from defeat today
And how did this all get started
Yes how did this happen to occur
I was just looking for my opponent
The rest is just a blurr !
