What are the best NBA playoff moments ever?

[Say Hey Kid]

There are some great ones here. The top 5 are awesome.

[Virtanen18]

in recent memory, Ray Allen's 3 was pretty cool. Followed by the Spurs completely dismantling the Heat the next year.

 

[Sports Enthusiast]

Reggie's 8 points in a few seconds was incredible.

LJ 4 point play to beat the pacers.

The best are probably game winners.

Reggie tying that game 5 with the nets with a half court 3 was good stuff.

 

[KapG]

Jordan with the flu

 

[Quid Pro Clowe]

The 90's had a lot.

 

[MarkStone]

Most of them involve a Celtics player stealing an inbound pass

 

[darko]

Michael Jordan hitting that long 2 over Byron Russell.

[Cassano]

 

[Reality Check]

The block in 2004 and Robert Horry in game 4 versus Sacramento '02.

If not for those two plays, a dysfunctional Lakers team likely wins it all in '04 while Sacramento finally gets it done in '02.

 

[Quid Pro Clowe]

If the refs would have waived off Sumaki Walker's half court shot that was about a full second after the buzzer to end the first half Horry's shot wouldn't have mattered.

Not even gonna mention the game 6 screwjob.

Big Shot Bob.

 

[Big Poppa Puck]

My first NBA memories were the 97 and 98 finals and the first play that stuck with me was the Jordan push off of Russell in 98. So I'll have to go with that.

 

[Mad Brills*]

Heat Spurs game 6.

Holy ****balls.

 

[HisIceness]

Some good ones mentioned so far, haven't seen the OP video yet but will later on. I'll add.

Mavericks/Spurs 2006 was a hell of a series. It finally got the Mavs over their in-state rivals for the first time and they won Game 7 on the road in OT to boot. Too bad they got screwed in the Finals that year.

Stockton beating Houston at the buzzer in the 97 WCFs that sent the Jazz to the Finals for the first time.

Suns/Lakers 2006. Kobes game winner in game 4 followed up by Kwame Browns legendary defense in game 6 Shame Steve Nash never made it to the Finals.

Bryant to Shaq in 2000. One could just sense that was the start of a dynasty and it was.

Bulls/Knicks in the 90's. Just nasty, physical play that doesn't exist today.

 

[kingsholygrail]

No Nick Anderson missing all of his free throws at the end of game 1 of the 1995 Finals where he could have outright won it for the Magic only to let it go to OT and eventually a series sweep with his career free throw percentage dropping to 40% for the remainder of his career?

Talk about an impactful moment.

 

[Philly85*]

too much to name

most recently, Kobe's last game combined with the GS wins record in the same night.

Klay Thompson's 37 points in 8 minutes in a quarter. One of the most ridiculous things I've ever seen.

Spurs demolishing the Heat in the Finals

 

[Philly85*]

Oops I missed the playoff moments... oh well, Klay Thompson's was still dope, regardless...

 

[sparxx87]

Can't beat the whole sequence of the Jordan stealing from Malone then hitting the snatch back to win #6.

Love Iversons step over Lue. D Fish at the buzzer was great too.

 

[Power Man]

Horry's 4th quarter and game winner vs Pistons in 2005

Spurs' comeback and Elliott's amazing 3 pointer vs Blazers in 99

Isiah's 25 4th quarter vs Lakers in 1988

 

[Terry Yake]

horry's 3 that the kings are still recovering from

derek fisher 0.4

too many MJ moments to count. hate ray allen but his shot against the spurs was pretty awesome

 

[le_sean]

That Kobe alley-oop to Shaq against Portland was really awesome.
