Hornets player nearly gave us the play of the year

Something straight out of the Harlem Globetrotter's play book.

The Charlotte Hornets were trailing the Detroit Pistons 115-114 with 0.5 seconds left, and Hornets coach Steve Clifford had guard Marco Belinelli inbound the ball.

Belinelli searched for someone to pass the ball to, but eventually he just inbounded the ball off of Pistons forward Marcus Morris' back, caught the ball off the bounce and launched what would have been a game-winning 3-pointer.

Unfortunately, the shot was too late, and the Pistons won the game by a point. Still, what an incredible effort from Belinelli.
