When Max Strus drilled a 59-footer as time expired to give the Cleveland Cavaliers a wild 121-119 win over the Dallas Mavericks on Tuesday night, the fifth-year wingman out of DePaul etched his name into the NBA record books. Strus' shot is the second-longest game-winner in the 3-point era that dates to the 1979-80 season, according to Basketball Reference. Only Devonte Graham — who made a 61-footer to lift New Orleans past Oklahoma City on Dec. 15, 2021 — has connected from farther out to secure a victory. While Strus and Graham may hold the marks for the two longest game-winners in the league's modern history, they're far from the only two players to know the joy of connecting from beyond midcourt to win a game at the buzzer.

Despite ending the season with stellar star numbers of 20.8 points, 5.1 boards, and 4.7 assists, Vinsanity shockingly didn't make it to the cut of the Eastern Conference for his ninth career All-Star nod.
