It was, quite simply, the greatest clutch sequence in Papal basketball history. Trailing Orthodox 86-83 with 41.9 seconds left, the Holy See was in danger of facing a Game 7 on the road with Innocent XIV severely limited by back pain. Then Benedict XVI delivered. First, XVI hit a driving layup to cut the lead to one. Then he stripped Blessed Justin Popovich from behind in the post, and calmly dribbled upcourt. After a stutter-step and a crossover dribble, Benedict XVI launched a Pope-title-winning 20-foot jumper over a fallen St. Nikodemos of the Holy Mountain. 45 points, 6 Finals MVPs, 6 championships, one hell of a game!
