With 14 seconds on the clock and the Memphis Grizzlies down by one point, center Marc Gasol sank a three-pointer that ended up being the game-winner against the Los Angeles Clippers.

What followed was a flawless impression of UFC fighter Conor McGregor's infamous walk.

But the McGregor gag didn't stop there.

Gasol just beat the only 10-win team in the NBA. That McGregor-level of swagger is warranted.
