The Chicago Bulls have been red hot this year as they currently sit in second place in the Eastern Conference. They've been a solid team this season with DeMar DeRozan, Zach Lavine, and Lonzo Ball leading the way. On Friday, DeRozan might have earned the shot of the year after hitting an insane game-winner to defeat the Indiana Pacers.

Catch the highlight right here and see for yourself. Not only does DeMar DeRozan hit a magnificent shot, but he does it off one leg. It's reminiscent of Kobe Bryant's game-winner when he hit a three-pointer on one leg over the Miami Heat in 2009. Due to DeRozan's efforts, the Bulls stay within reach of the Brooklyn Nets in the standings.

It's not every day you see a shot like that. This has to be a gut-punch for the Pacers, as they were close to upsetting the Bulls. A win could have put this team back on track. Instead, Indiana goes home with another loss for their struggling year.

This buzzer-beater allows the Bulls to maintain their current win streak. It's been an impressive run, as Chicago has played well above expectations this year. It's nice to see this franchise back at the top after struggling for so long since the Michael Jordan era.
