Not sure I agree it's no where close in difficulty. Even uncontested it's pretty remarkable to get that shot off in time on a rebound from a play where there was 3 seconds left on the clock at the time of the inbound and you get the rebound around 0.5 seconds left.
Saying it fell "perfectly to him" is like saying Kahwi just made a "contested jump shot"
And as far as the moment...I'd argue down 1 with 0.5 seconds left while being down 3-2 in the series in game 6 of the conference finals, while trying to comeback from down 3-0 is actually a bigger moment than tied in the game, while being in a series tied 3-3 in game 7 of the conference semi-finals.
Kawhi doesn't get the bounce and it goes to OT. That play tonight doesn't happen and the Heat are off to the finals.
