man, that airball by KD at the end really shows how absolutely exhausted these guys were. left it all out there. all time great series by all time great players.
Durant was carrying the team in this series. Kyrie went down with an injury early and no way Harden should’ve been out on the court with his hamstring injury.
@@JF-ho2tm I know I'm just saying the way the media act like Kyrie was the answer when in reality they only played 16 games together the big 3 were never gonna work All injury prone And the fact kd took the bucks up 3-2 showed they didn't need Kyrie KD just got tired
Harden was also injured with a grade 2 hamstring strain that is supposed to sideline you for 2 months. He played through it which is why he was a shell of himself
The only thing that stopped the bucks from winning multiple championships in the postseason qas Giannis injured or Middleton injured. Nobody mentions that but they cry about Kyrie and KD's foot. lmao
lol games 5-7 of round 2 is not “Throughout the playoffs”. And if you really wanna talk about if Jeff green gave 27 in game 5, harden almost had a 20 pt triple double in game 7, and black had like 17 in 1 or 2 of those games as well
I knew as soon as that happened that this series was going to be decided in Game 7. The Bucks were not going to let the Nets win at Fiserv Forum. That and the crowd was in KD's head in Games 4 and 6.
Game 5 and Game 7 KD were two of the best playoff performances ever, especially that game 5 with the triple double, man. It's still crazy how he lost Kyrie and Harden was practically dragging himself to play on one leg (to me personally he should've rested, he was too injured but I will still always thank he did gave his best in trying to play through the injury), and still was only half an inch away from sending the would-become champs home. Had it been a triple, Nets would've won their first ring ever. I'm 1000% sure of it. But it is what it is, man. Still, every game was just a nerve-wrecking 48 minutes of pure adrenaline, insanely good series.
Everybody talks about KD's foot being on the line, and obviously rightfully so, but damn the entire last three minutes was awesome. The Big Three of the Bucks taking turns hitting big shots as they just desperately tried to survive Durant going "final boss" mode.
Giannis really stopped Kyrie, Harden and KD from getting a ring together 😂 Edit: I forgot about the injuries (although I just edited this video smh) sorry guys
For me the most entertaining Finals was the 2021 Finals between the Suns and Bucks. Each game was just thrilling. Sadly it never had a game 7 for such a competitive and thrilling series
The people that says that the Nets super team din't work don't know ball. They just have a lot of injuries. If they stay healthy they should won a back to back.
This was an Iconic NBA series and it was great to see the big three nets play against Giannis and the bucks. Nets would’ve won and history could’ve changed. 🤩.
I like your themed videos. It would be great to see one about underdogs winning, like the 8th seed Miami Heat beating the 1 seed Bucks. That was pretty amazing.
Watching that turn around live was insane i was like no way he makes that and then boom crazy that his foot barely was on the line i get the fans who say the nba is scripted cause man that is storybook😭
Ngl, I think it's crazy how people talking shit about KD after what he did in this serie, after all the injuries, and he went half inch to win...amazing player, probably greatest offensive player ever. Respect for KD
its absolutely crazy that people think you cannot win with KD. this series did a very good job at proving his worth. No superstar is gonna be prime MJ every year in the playoffs. some guys only get 1-2 true contender level supporting casts in their careers and everything else is "disappointment". and even then you need luck to be on ur side as well and not have an untimely injury to those supporting casts...
I was at a party with some friends, and literally none of us cared because we were huddled over one phone watching the live play by play for game seven. We were hyped when Milwaukee won bc we all hated that Nets team.
The Nets totally embarrassed them in every way possible before injuries struck, and even then KD still came within a millimeter of beating them by himself. Healthy Nets would destroy everyone in the east with zero resistance that year
The thing is, the Bucks won the season series against the Nets as well, and if it weren't for a missed buzzer beater they would have swept the season series. They were probably the only ones that weren't afraid of that team.
I knew as soon as the Bucks won that defensive struggle in Game 3 that they would win the series. Because Giannis was gaining confidence for not only himself but his teammates, plus the crowd at Fiserv Forum was going to be in KD's head the rest of the series. (Fun fact: Durant still hasn't won a game at Fiserv Forum since it opened) The only reason Brooklyn even had a chance after Kyrie went down was that they had home court in Game 7. If Game 7 was in Milwaukee, they would have gotten crushed. It also didn't help that Budenholzer coached circles around Nash from Game 3 on. (I still can't believe Bud fell victim to Jimmy Haslam last year) Once the Nets lost Game 7, I knew they weren't going to get that close again. Why? Everyone was going to watch film on Nash's tendencies and expose the fact that he didn't make any adjustments. I was proven correct when the Nets got swept by Boston the very next year.
Probably the most respected airball anyone has done is a situation like that. Durant was carrying the team on his back the last few games and just couldn’t muster the energy anymore. I’ve never heard anyone have anything but good things to say about his performance this series.
3:10 - 3:12 is a dirty ass play by giannis to slip his big ass foot under the landing spot of Kyrie. I’m sure it wasn’t intentional but this was similar to how Kawhi got injured by Zaza couple of years ago and everyone said that shit was a dirty play. He clearly wasn’t in position to block it because it already went up and didn’t need to move forward to slip that foot underneath. Bucks were in route to get swept until Kyrie went down.
How anyone feels bad for this Nets team having injuries is crazy to me, mfs tried to BUY a ring with yet ANOTHER KD superteam, they deserve what they got
As a Nets fan I was heartbroken when KD air balled that last shot in game 7. That was probably the best season I’ve seen as a fan of them and now being a Nets fan is depressing 😢
Nah if Kyrie never got hurt and James was on the floor! Man o man 😭😭 all Of them would have been champs! Cause we all know both teams would have beat the Suns 😂
This was honestly a finals of its own. Everyone knew one of these teams were going to the finals

i reckon he or blake griffin were the most underrated players on that squad, but joe just couldn’t get them to fall

at least yall won the chip, this was even worse of a time to be a nets fan with harden and kyrie getting injured lol. (I'm not a nets fan)
It’s crazy how automatic KD was in game 7( until OT). You knew he was gonna get the ball like every possession and he just couldn’t be stopped.
As a bucks fan this one made me age 30 years…,,KD was off a goddamn perc in this series dude was nuts
Modern day classic. Included The foot game. Amazing performances out of KD and Giannis.
They were so close to going up 3-0 in the series that’s what swung the momentum was that play by Holliday. This series was a movie

This is the biggest what if in playoff history.
Harden and Kyrie were injured , if this team won a NBA championship , we could have the best trio ever won the Larry O'Brian Trophy.
To this day I believe the Nets win it all if Giannis doesn’t get underneath Kyrie after that layup in game 4
Only reason we didn’t win was the bucks injuring us
I still have goosebumps while watching this
KD was goated in this series, probably the best playoff run by a player i've ever saw
