Jackson has always been viewed as someone who can grow into a WNBA star. Her growth this season has affirmed that. The Sparks will need that, too. Kelsey Plum was the big offseason addition. If Cameron Brink can return from injury and be her uniquely talented self, L.A. has something special working.

Liberty forward Stephanie Talbot tried her best to make the shot hard for Jackson without fouling her. However, the Sparks rising star made the difficult layup to give the Sparks the 101-99 victory at the buzzer. The WNBA, for its part, shared a slow-motion video of the play, further hyping up L.A. fans and several viewers.

Rickea Jackson's mid-season resurgence hit a new high on Saturday night when she flipped in an absurd buzzer beater to ensure the Los Angeles Sparks stunned the reigning champion New York Liberty, 101-99.
