About this person
He had a 15-year NBA career for four teams: the Sonics, the Buffalo Braves, the Chicago Bulls, and the Phoenix Suns. Heard is best known for a buzzer beater he made to send Game 5 of the 1976 Phoenix-Boston championship series into a third overtime. This feat is commonly known as "The Shot", or "The Shot Heard 'Round the World", in reference to Ralph Waldo Emerson's poem "Concord Hymn", which was written about the Battle of Lexington.
