Tate Claude George (born May 29, 1968 in Newark, New Jersey) is an American former professional basketball player who was selected by the New Jersey Nets with the 22nd overall pick in the 1990 NBA Draft from the University of Connecticut. He played a total of four years in the NBA for the Nets and Milwaukee Bucks averaging 4.2 points per game in his career. George is best remembered for his miraculous buzzer-beating shot to defeat Clemson in the 1990 NCAA Tournament. With only one second left in the game and UConn down by 1 point, Scott Burrell threw a full court pass to George. He caught the pass, spun around and released a 15-footer with .2 seconds on the clock. The shot fell through as time expired, and UConn won the game.
