Jack McVeigh’s wonder shot has stunned Melbourne United and put Tasmania JackJumpers up 2-1 in the NBL grand final series. One more win gives them the title.
Tasmania forward Jack McVeigh took a step over the half-court, dribbled between his legs and launched himself into the history books as his miracle shot put his JackJumpers within one win of a maiden NBL championship.
McVeigh, whose emergence this season has led to calls for him to get tryouts for the NBA and for the Australian Boomers, cut an emotional figure post-game as he realised the gravity of his shot which surpassed 240,000 views alone on the NBL’s X feed, formerly known as Twitter.“I just wanted to shoot it baby - I just want one more ,” McVeigh told ESPN soon after the buzzer.
“But we haven’t done anything yet. We are excited to win in this building, but have to come back down, recuperate and get ready .”
