Jerry Sloan was still the Utah Jazz's head coach and LeBron James was on his first tour with the Cleveland Cavaliers when NBA D-League call-up Sundiata Gaines hit a buzzer-beater for the Jazz to sink the Cavaliers in a January regular-season game.
It may have happened in 2010, but the shot is still one many Utah fans remember, as it lifted the team over James, the NBA's reigning MVP.

Jazz fans will have the chance to watch Gaines up close once again, as the 30-year-old guard is back in the D-League, having signed with the Salt Lake City Stars on Monday.
The Stars, who subsequently waived guard Evrik Gary, announced the moves in a news release.
Gaines, who played 30 games for the Jazz during the 2009-2010 season, played for Ironi Nes Ziona of the Israeli League last season, where he averaged 15.8 points, 2.3 assists and 2.4 steals in 33.1 minutes per game and was named an Israeli League All-Star.
Salt Lake City plays the Oklahoma City Blue at home Monday night at the Lifetime Activities Center. The tip is scheduled for 7 p.m.
