Awesome video compares Vince Carter's game-winner to big miss in 2001

The similarity really is uncanny.

In 2001, Vince Carter caught a pass in the left corner, turned and missed a last-second jumper that would have sent the Toronto Raptors to the Eastern Conference Finals over the Philadelphia 76ers. (He'd gone to his college graduation that morning. People freaked out. There was no Twitter, thankfully.)

Saturday, Vince Carter caught a pass in the left corner, turned and buried a game-winning, buzzer-beating three that gave the Mavericks an unexpected 2-1 edge over the heavily favored San Antonio Spurs.

As this awesome video by Max Frishberg shows, the two shots were remarkably similar. REDEMPTION!
