That's a great page

Buckhantz's catchphrases have seeped into the lexicon of Washington, D.C. area sports fans, who revel in using them to describe a myriad of non-sports related events (ex. males observing a friend attempting to ask a woman for her phone number exclaim "Dagger!" or "Backbreaker!" when she can be seen rejecting the friend's advances) as well as debating the subtle and compelling distinction between a "Dagger" (a made basket at a critical juncture in a game that stabs like a dagger at the opposing team's chance of victory) and a "Backbreaker" (a made basket at a critical juncture in a game that breaks any chance that the opposing team will win).

RE: The backbreaker vs. dagger debate

I think a dagger is much more lethal than a backbreaker because if one suffers a backbreaker (I am imagining Brutus the Barber Beefcake performing one on KoKo B.Ware) one may still be able to rise up and defeat the challenger. One may, with a broken back, still perservere. Yet the dagger may end your life. Although, as was the case with Monica Seles and, to a lesser degree, Paul Pierce, a dagger has not ended their lives and they, in fact, have perservered.
