Last year game 5. Butler played his heart out against two of top 5 players in NBA at that time. The man did everything while carrying a depleted Heat to game 6 with 35pts, 12rbs, 11ast, 5stl and 48 seconds on the bench. That image of him leaning on the courtside catching his breath is iconic.
The Goat Michael Jeffrey Jordan #23 did something like that... He had the flu & a hangover plus a gambling problem and finally he smoked cigars after every ass whopping he gave!
Isiah's ankle game is WAY Tougher than MJ's flu game Get the Hell out of here wth that BS!!! If Jordan Had done wat Zeke Did They'd STILL BE TALKIN ABOUT IT EVERY FCKIN DAY ON THE DAILY NEWS!!!

Everyone just looks st the 45 point total bit putting it into context like you said, it's even more amazing. He outscored his own team 45-42! I believe that's a finals record, scoring 54% of your teams points.
@@MJIZZEL it’s crazy MJ haters don’t realize what Mike did there, they just automatically assume he faced “weaker” competition to avoid giving him props so they rather discredit him. It’s like LBJ scoring 55 points in their last finals game vs Heat while the rest of LA scored 51 points. Had this happened his fanbase would’ve called this the greatest finals game ever and given LBJ so much praise.
@Tsukuyomi uchiha chats makes no sense, he’s done this other times as well. Vs Suns he had 55 points and scored almost 50% of the Bulls points on great efficiency.
I think we should consider JR Smith game 1 of the 2018 finals. He should have been the Warriors finals MVP. He ended any hope the Cavs had in about 5 seconds of 1 sequence.
Dennis Johnson Game 7 1978 John Starks Game 7 1994 Kenyon Martin Game 6 2003 Reggie Miller Game 1 2000 LeBron James Game 4 2011 Greatest finals performances all time
That 76ers team gets so disrespected. Yea it wasn't the Lakers but it's the first and only team in NBA history with the MVP,6th man of the year, defensive player of the year and coach of the year on the same team. That in the east side that time, is good enough to get to the finals
@@WalkingthroughNYC They were the only team to get 1 win on that 01 lakers team in the playoffs. Those Lakers swept the West playoffs. That alone says a lot.
@@WalkingthroughNYC that’s true, Sixers were a great defensive team. You can say the same about the 07 Cavs, also a great defensive team that doesn’t get much mention. I think AI gets a lot of praise bc he took it to LA that year for one night as the lone star offensively. LBJ didn’t vs SAS but had he done something similar or better he would’ve gotten praised so much by his fans/media.
@@grahamgregory1450 Oh yeah of course. It was just that that video was posted not long after he died so I figured Baylor's record scoring Finals game would be on this list.

Dennis Johnson Game 7 1978 John Starks Game 7 1994 Kenyon Martin Game 6 2003 Reggie Miller Game 1 2000 LeBron James Game 4 2011 Greatest finals performances all time
KD's game 3 in 2018 finals deserved to be on the list. His teammates really underperformed in that game and he singlehandedly won it, had amazing stats and an iconic shot.
Good list and video, agree with most of these including your pick for #1. I think there are several better choices for #10, like Isiah's 42 points on a badly injured ankle in 1988, Jordan's "Shrug Game" vs. Portland in '92 or his 55 point game vs. Phoenix in '93, KD's game 3 in 2018. I'm sure there are some monster games by Shaq, Bird, Moses, Hakeem, Wilt, Kareem, and others that are probably worthy of consideration as well. Dwayne Wade's '06 Finals as well. LeBron put up a sick stat line in that 2018 game 1 but when the game was on the line he passed to George Hill, even though he had (I think) 49 points at the time. And then after JR's gaffe instead of rallying the troops he melted down on the bench and essentially checked out/gave up.
Well, this topic could be top 20 GOAT finals. MJ's 1992 game 1 with those 3s and 35 points in one half, 1991 game 2, with the Move, 1993 was it game 4 with 55 points and a game sealing and-1. 1997 game 1 with buzzer beater. 1962 Elgin Baylor's 61 points 22 boards. 2nd 40 board game by Mr. Russell in 1960 (no OT), Isiah's 25 points in the quarter in 1988
Great list dude. Its some other great finals games that could also made this list, like Isaiah Thomas destroyed the Lakers while popping on 1 foot, Mj's 55 points vs the suns or lebron and kryie 41 point a piece vs the warriors
I think Pascal Siakim Game 1 in the 2019 NBA Finals Deserves an Honorable Mention. He had 32 points, 8 rebounds, 5 Assist on 82% Field Goal Percecntage. Bro Went Crazy! He was Unstoppable that game.
Think of all the Jordan Finals games Uncut had to bypass to give other guys props. 55 point game vs Phoenix 46 point game vs Portland to break a 2-2 series tie 15-18fgs game vs LA to tie the series at 1-1 35 points (6 threes) in first half vs Portland 42, 12, 9 game vs Phoenix to outduel Barkley's 42 and 13 game Any of them could have legitimately made the list.
@@TayGee-mh8eo I mean I'd have to compare them to all finals games ever first off to see if all of those belonged in a top 10. You are the one claiming that half of his top 10 finals games should be MJ ones and besides 1 of them you are only going by scoring marks so that leaves a lot out.
@@eternalboss1046 No I gave context. MJ's 46 point game to take a 3-2 series lead over Portland in Portland is every bit as impressive as Iverson's 48 point win against LA in 2001 and the 51 point game by Lebron against GS that both went to overtime (and LeBron lost). That 46 point game never gets mentioned by anybody. It's almost a throwaway game by MJ when it would be a career defining game by someone else. How about the near 42point triple double in Phoenix to outduel Barkley's 42points where MJ pulled the game out down the stretch? No one ever talks about that game because they are so enamored by the 55 point game 4 -- which itself did not make the list! Uncut had to weed out games like these even though they would clearly qualify. Out of fairness, he only chose 2 of MJ's games when he could have legitimately chosen more than that if he wanted to. There were other great games missing, not just MJ"s. (Magic's rookie close out game in 1980 comes to mind as well as Bird's game 6 vs Houston in 1986 and Isiah's sprained ankle game in 1988 vs the Lakers since we're counting losses.) I'm not complaining. The games listed are worthy. I'm just saying MJ had a lot of games to choose from.
@@TayGee-mh8eo yep, I’m surprised I didn’t see any of these. MJ was clutch as hell in a lot of these. He truly is the goat, so many great finals games left out. You are right though, had someone like LBJ done what you listed his fans would’ve gone ballistic as to why they weren’t mentioned then possibly would’ve threatened this guys channel. That’s how bad they are.
No bro, LeBron had a good raw stat line but no fucking way does Bron’s 2016 game 7 belong in here. You’re a young kid, he’s prob your favorite player but no this game doesn’t belong on a top ten list let alone top five.
I better see jimmy butler’s 40pt triple double performance he had 2 steals and 2 blocks and played without bam and dragic and only him and lebron had a 40pt triple double in a finals game
Nice list and difficult to only pick ten games! One very overlooked game was game 5 in the Boston Garden in 1984. It is the famous "heat" game and was 97 degrees and no A/C in the Garden. Bird had 34 points and 17 rebounds and shot 15 of 20 from the floor and dominated the game. This was at the time the most watched Finals ever on TV and it swung the momentum toward Boston. Kareem was seen using the oxygen mask and the conditions were brutal for all players.
Isaiah Thomas literally played on one foot and I think he set a finals record for most points in a quarter. Probably the most heroic performance in NBA history.
Hey love the research you put into these videos. It shows in the final product! Just not a fan of the music though. Everything else, top notch Uncut Hoops!
saying LeBron had the biggest play in the 2016 game 7 is idiotic saying his block is more valuable than Kyrie's 3-pointer when LeBron had one point in the last 5 minutes of that game and they literally couldn't buy a bucket that's idiotic not to say LeBron didn't have a great game but that statement is idiotic
Yea I didn’t get that either, LBJ’s block was big but both teams still went scoreless for another minute until Kyrie took it upon himself to hit the biggest shot in that game. Which I think was the most important play of that game.
Lebron's block was greater IMO, that play demoralized GS and their fans, don't get me wrong Kyrie's shot was amazing, but 99% of guys stop running at half court ang give up the two points, this when points were hard to get. Lebron gets all the credit in the world for not giving up and doing everything in his power to get the block. If you think the shot was bigger I get that also, because it was also amazing.
I would have thrown One of Dwades performances in 06 on there. I know there is ref controversy but when you go back and watch, he put the team on his back and was ballin that series after they went down 2.
Even outside of 2011 I just feel Jordan accomplished so much in so little time First 13 seasons: 5 MVPs, 6 rings, 6 Finals MVPs, 10 1st team all NBAs, 10 scoring titles and a DPOY
@@Jovibe23 so lebron played in 2011 only ? after that lebron won 2 mvps, 4 fmvps, 1 all star mvp, 2 all nba defensive. his legacy will not be tarnished by one finals game
honestly there are so many honourable mentions, you could look at shaq in 2002 or 2000, mj in 92 and 93, isiah thomas in 88, elgin's 61 points, even jimmy butlers tripledouble
1969 Finals Game 7 Jerry West: 42 points, 13 rebounds, 12 assists 1962 Finals Game 5 Elgin Baylor: 61 points, 22 rebounds How are these not the top 2...
It doesnt matter if Cavs lost game 1 of the 2018 finals. Lebron gave his teammates a chance to hit 1 freethrow... and they would beat the greatest team in NBA history. THAT is a legendary performance
Wilt Chamberlain's game 5 performance against Knicks should've been in list where he scored 29pts and grabbed 24 rebounds and Shaq's gm1 performance against Pacers 43pts, 19rbs
Good list but I would have made some changes. MJ 98 is better than Magic 80. Magic lost Kareem but MJ lost Pippen! MJ scored the last 8 Bulls points together with 2 steals and burried the gamewinner! He had 45 out of 87 Bulls points in his last game on the road. It doesn’t get more iconic than that! Lebron game 7 in 2016 is to high. His block is his most iconic moment but the game’s most iconic moment is of course Kyries! The game is also known for over 4 minutes of no scoring which makes it way to high on this list! I also miss I Thomas 25 point quarter on one leg😄
Even though his team lost Jerry West in game 7 of the 69 Finals with a 42/13/12 triple double despite playing through a severely strained hamstring. Worthys game 7 in the 88 Finals And also Hakeems game 4 in 1995 putting 35/15 vs Shaq to close out the series should be here.
I was sort of confused with the idea of the video. I thought it was finals games in general not necessarily “individual” performances in finals games bc if it was what I thought it was then yea that game 5 should’ve been on it.
In 1986 Jordan also scored 63 points in game two against the 67-15 Celtics shooting 55% and never even shot a single 3. Damn Black Jesus, you so damn nasty!
The fact that 2016 game 7 isn’t number 1 is rigged, yes others scored more points but the fact that this one was very close and everything that happened in the last 2 minutes was just so crazy it deserves No_1
I love the flu game from Jordan many other NBA players would have sat out being that sick but not Jordan he did what he had do to help the Bulls win despite how sick he was and did it with everything he had and pulled out a victory on the road against the Jazz and the 98 NBA finals game 6 Jordan with the last shot on the road again iconic shot led the Bulls to their 6th championship and that's why Jordan is my favorite player
Last year game 5. Butler played his heart out against two of top 5 players in NBA at that time. The man did everything while carrying a depleted Heat to game 6 with 35pts, 12rbs, 11ast, 5stl and 48 seconds on the bench. That image of him leaning on the courtside catching his breath is iconic.

@@Jovibe23 so lebron played in 2011 only ? after that lebron won 2 mvps, 4 fmvps, 1 all star mvp, 2 all nba defensive. his legacy will not be tarnished by one finals game
I would say Larry Bird Game 6 performance in 1986 finals
Agreed
Even tho I'd say game 4 of the 1984 finals
Very intense game, one of my all time fav series
honestly there are so many honourable mentions, you could look at shaq in 2002 or 2000, mj in 92 and 93, isiah thomas in 88, elgin's 61 points, even jimmy butlers tripledouble
or and you should definitely add giannis to the list now
Dude where’s Kobe’s game 1 against Orlando when he had 40 points 8 Rebounds and 8 Assists
Timmy's unofficial quad-double should be higher on the list.
Where would you rank GIANNIS's 50 point close out he had 2 months after this video?
Anyone know the music sources? Specifically around 3:10
1969 Finals Game 7 Jerry West: 42 points, 13 rebounds, 12 assists
1962 Finals Game 5 Elgin Baylor: 61 points, 22 rebounds
How are these not the top 2...
Because he’s a Lebron fan
@@788lakers he’s a jordan fan and a LeBron hater lol
Cool 😎
2018 was not a great playoff run for lebron it was one of the best if not the best statistical run in history.
I can't deny your #1 spot bro
Got it right
1976 Game 5 between Celtics and Suns, which went to triple overtime with Boston winning by 2.
I think maybe game 6 2013 should be on here but seeing this list idk where I would put it
I liked the intro
The last 40secs in game 6 Bulls vs Jazz was the greatest of all time.
You forgot Wilt Chamberlain in game 6 of the 1970 NBA Finals: 45 points, 27 rebounds, 3 assists, 20/27 shooting.
I love how he didn't mention kyrie irving 2016 finals. The shot is what will live on.
Timmy should have been credited with the Quad-dub....he had 10 blocks if you watch the game again. And it was a close out game.Great list though!
I'm surprised that no one ever mentions game 5 of the 1976 finals. That game has been dubbed the greatest game of all time. It went 3 overtimes.
It doesnt matter if Cavs lost game 1 of the 2018 finals. Lebron gave his teammates a chance to hit 1 freethrow... and they would beat the greatest team in NBA history. THAT is a legendary performance
Wilt Chamberlain's game 5 performance against Knicks should've been in list where he scored 29pts and grabbed 24 rebounds and Shaq's gm1 performance against Pacers 43pts, 19rbs
Especially considering Wilt broke his wrist the game before. He taped it up and took pain killers before the game to even play.
Isiah Thomas scoring 25 4th quarter points on a bum ankle ?
If Duncan was rightly credited with a quad double would that be challenging number 1 (which is no doubt Magic)???
Good list but I would have made some changes.
MJ 98 is better than Magic 80. Magic lost Kareem but MJ lost Pippen! MJ scored the last 8 Bulls points together with 2 steals and burried the gamewinner! He had 45 out of 87 Bulls points in his last game on the road. It doesn’t get more iconic than that!
Lebron game 7 in 2016 is to high. His block is his most iconic moment but the game’s most iconic moment is of course Kyries! The game is also known for over 4 minutes of no scoring which makes it way to high on this list!
I also miss I Thomas 25 point quarter on one leg😄
Even though his team lost Jerry West in game 7 of the 69 Finals with a 42/13/12 triple double despite playing through a severely strained hamstring.
Worthys game 7 in the 88 Finals
And also Hakeems game 4 in 1995 putting 35/15 vs Shaq to close out the series should be here.
kyrie irving game 5 2016 should be on the list imo
Maybe but he’d have to put lebrons game 5 and 6 too if kyries was on here
I was sort of confused with the idea of the video. I thought it was finals games in general not necessarily “individual” performances in finals games bc if it was what I thought it was then yea that game 5 should’ve been on it.
Correction young man: NO ONE is more CLUTCH than Michael Jordan.
bro where is isaiah thomas game ????
Great list. Although I would put:
Elgin Baylor 61 PTS 15 REBS
Jordan 55 PTS 7REBS/ASS.
How tf did Frazier NOT win the FMVP?
In 1986 Jordan also scored 63 points in game two against the 67-15 Celtics shooting 55% and never even shot a single 3.
Damn Black Jesus, you so damn nasty!
well done
What about Elgin Baylor’s 61 points in the finals?
How about jordan 55 against suns in 1993
3:11 SONG NAME PLZ
No D Wade '06???
I always wondered why tf karl malone fell like that lol
The 2003 championship is special to me because I was born on the same day the Spurs won the championship.
Shaq 01 - 28pts
20rbs
9ast
8blk
Larry bird in game seven during the 86 finals?
The 86 finals ended in 6 games, but Bird was great in game 6
How are you going to base it on anything other that stats and include intangibles. Do you know how many finals games you haven't seen due to your age!
Giannis game 7 gotta make this kinda list
What about Elgin's 63 point game
MJ 55 point game 4 1993 finals...Kobe game 4 2000 finals and Kobe game 3 2002 finals
The fact that 2016 game 7 isn’t number 1 is rigged, yes others scored more points but the fact that this one was very close and everything that happened in the last 2 minutes was just so crazy it deserves No_1
I love the flu game from Jordan many other NBA players would have sat out being that sick but not Jordan he did what he had do to help the Bulls win despite how sick he was and did it with everything he had and pulled out a victory on the road against the Jazz and the 98 NBA finals game 6 Jordan with the last shot on the road again iconic shot led the Bulls to their 6th championship and that's why Jordan is my favorite player
You forget the 61 point of Elgin Baylor. The most points in games
Mj dropping 55 in 93 plus you missed a good chance to mention elgin Baylor's 61
I have not watched this yet but number 1 mj 1998
should be called finals performances but I ain't gonna complain
