Coby White

For teams faced with the improbable odds of overcoming a four-point deficit in six seconds time, sidecourt discussions can be summarized through two must-haves: “a 3-pointer, and then a quick foul.” The sequence and ordering often arrives a bit differently, but through a breathtaking, four-point play on February 28, 2025, Coby White did the Chicago Bulls one better. First breaking free of Gradey Dick during a race towards the 3-point arc’s top, Chicago’s bucket-getter catches and raises up with ambition, hoping to check off requirement No. 1 with an accurate long-range fire. Ultimately successful — and drawing a whistle from Immanuel Quickley’s untimely foul at once — White unites 20,938 in celebration, securing a four-point play that skyrockets Chicago’s victory probability from 15.6 to 50 percent in a single sequence. Understandably, the Toronto Raptors’ psyche was never the same, as Chicago cruised to a just-as-unlikely double-digit overtime win. Donning perhaps a “Superman” cape under his Chicago Bulls uniform, White finished with 24 points (on 8-of-16 shooting), four rebounds, three assists, four steals, and two 3-pointers.
