Gregg Popovich still thinks about Ray Allen's game-tying 3-pointer in the NBA Finals every day

Game 6 of the 2013 NBA Finals may have had the best finish to any game in any sport this year, and the San Antonio Spurs are still healing from it. Up 3-2 in the series and three points with under 10 seconds to play, Chris Bosh grabbed one of the most important offensive rebounds in franchise history and found Ray Allen in the corner, who tied the game with a miraculous 3-pointer over Tony Parker.

Brian Windhorst and Tom Haberstroh of ESPN compiled an oral history of the final 28 seconds of Game 6, which Manu Ginobili described as "bad, very bad." The Heat won the game in overtime, and won the series two days later.

Via ESPN (Insider):

Bosh: You can't put it into words. He's the best three-point shooter of all time. And the fact that he was open is just unbelievable. In my head, I told myself to wait for Ray to get back, but I know it still happened pretty fast.

Allen: Once I got my legs there, I just let the ball go.

James: I saw it in the air, and I was like, "It's going in. It's got a chance."

Dwyane Wade: When he shot it, I was looking at the ball and I said, "Oh my god ... that's going in." It was kind of like I couldn't believe it in a sense. But also, Oh my god ... it's going in.

Spoelstra: Ray did what he's done for so many years.

Ginobili: Bad, very bad.

Parker: We all have scars in our careers. That one is pretty deep.

Duncan: It was painful.

Popovich: I've thought about it every day. I'm anxious for it to go away. It hasn't happened yet.
