It is a moment New York Knicks fans have tried to forget, but a moment Indiana Pacers fans will forever treasure. Â It was one of the greatest blocks of all time and it happened at a crucial moment. Â Up by two, the Knicks put the ball in their superstar’s hands to extend their lead. Â He drove to the basket, but was met by 7 foot center Roy Hibbert who barely had to leave the ground to make a play.
Hibbert puts his arm up, barely jumps off the ground and meets Anthony’s hand perfectly. Â Overpowering him, he denies Anthony the basket and allows the Pacers to take the ball to the other side of the floor and tie the game. Â The rejection had a huge impact on the result of the game, which was a do or die for the Knicks. Â The Pacers outscored the Knicks 16-7 to finish the game and to send the Knicks home packing. Â The Pacers went on to the Eastern Conference Finals where they were also sent home packing by the Miami Heat.
