Josh Giddey’s Half-Court Buzzer-Beater Stuns LeBron and Sets Up Massive Payday
Josh Giddey has just done something absolutely unreal, and the NBA world is in shock. Picture this: the Chicago Bulls are down against the Los Angeles Lakers. LeBron James, the legend himself, is on the other side, thinking they have this game in the bag. But Giddey? Oh, he had other plans.
With just 12.6 seconds left, the Bulls were trailing 115-110. They needed a miracle. And guess what? They got one—courtesy of the Aussie sensation. First, Giddey orchestrates a perfect three-pointer. Then, he picks off LeBron’s inbound pass—yes, he snatches it right from the King himself—and dishes it to Coby White, who drains another three. Just like that, the Bulls are up by one with 6.1 seconds left. But the drama wasn’t over.
Austin Reaves then comes up big for the Lakers, hitting a layup to take back the lead with only 3.3 seconds left. The United Center is buzzing. The Lakers are on the brink of victory. But Giddey? He’s not done.

On the final play, Giddey gets the ball back, takes a few dribbles past half-court, and launches a shot over LeBron’s outstretched arms. Time stops. The ball soars through the air… and swishes through the net as the buzzer sounds! The crowd erupts. Bulls fans are losing their minds. Social media explodes. The NBA world is left in disbelief.
This wasn’t just any game-winner—it was the longest game-winning shot in Chicago Bulls history. And let’s talk about Giddey’s performance overall: 25 points, 14 rebounds, 11 assists. Another triple-double. Another statement game. And the Bulls? They’ve now won nine of their last 11 games, climbing up the standings with Giddey leading the charge.
Now, let’s talk money. Giddey is heading into free agency, and plays like this are sending his value skyrocketing. NBA insider Brian Windhorst has reported that Giddey is looking at a contract worth around $235 million. That’s superstar money. That’s franchise-player money. And if he keeps playing like this, every team in the league will want a piece of him.
It’s a full-circle moment for Giddey. Remember, he was traded away from Oklahoma City because they didn’t think he fit into their championship plans. Now, he’s proving them wrong on the biggest stage, taking down one of the greatest players of all time in LeBron James and cementing himself as one of the league’s brightest young stars.
Oh, and let’s not forget the epic Bulls commentator call: “Oh my god. I cannot believe this. Unbelievable. Magic Giddey. G’day mate. Somewhere in Australia, Paul Hogan is celebrating this one!”
If this is what Giddey can do under pressure, just imagine what’s next. The NBA better watch out—Josh Giddey is just getting started.
