    One shot that could have changed everything. It was reported that this was Jerry West’s biggest regret in his career. Probably b******* but it would make sense. Had Selvy hit the mid range shot, which he was a master at, at the time, the Lakers beat Boston in 1962 in Game 7 and maybe history goes the other way. Crazy what one yard, one at bat or one shot can do in the annals of sports history.

    Frank Shelvy scored 100 points in a college game when he was at D-1 Furnam.

    RIP Frank Selvy. Now he can replay that game in heaven and make it! Haha.

    meanwhile, don nelson's shot in 69 somehow went in after hitting the back of the rim and bouncing up 100 feet in the air. C Bags just got every single bounce they needed that entire decade

    RIP

    RIP Mr. Selvy. I'm sure Hundley will call him somewhere and say "Nice shot, Frank!" then hang up.
