Marquis Daniels' half-court buzzer beater

[Witch-King]

Here is a youtube clip of Marquis draining a halfcourt shot to close out the first quarter of Friday's pre-season game vs the Toronto Raptors:

What is equally impressive is how the commentators mention that the Celtics as a team are shooting above 50% from the field and are 3 of 3 from beyond the arc as Marquis is walking back to the Celtics' bench.

I actually found this clip on the NBA blog 'Ball Don't Lie' (http://sports.yahoo.com/nba/blog/ball_dont_lie/post/Video-Marquis-Daniels-ho-hum-46-foot-buzzer-be?urn=nba-277675) -- you know, that saying that Rasheed Wallace invented, along with various other phrases including 'Garun'Sheed', etc. There is another article on the from page from Thursday where Michael Jordan claims he could have dropped 100 points (by himself) in today's game -- in other words, that website is usually an interesting read.

What I thought was great was after hitting the shot Marquis ,who is usually so reserved, really seemed excited.  He was doing the walker wiggle, yelling with a big smile on his face.
