It’s amazing what has happened in 1/3 of the leagues history. So many dynasties, incredible athletes and shooters, crazy trades, records broken, playoff rivalries, and change of play styles in the league. And the wizards have stayed mid through all of it. Incredible
@@andysauro1500do you understand kobes 81 is iconic its last time smeone scored that many since wilt and LeBron did it in his rookie year during playoffs with huge plays while klay ony scored without insane plays
Not a “play”. Generally I consider a play as 3 box score entries or less (case where it’s 3: missed FT, rebound, putback that should count). There may be a few additional clips in the video that aren’t plays by this definition as well
Notable snubs include Nate Robinson with the chasedown block on Lebron, Steven Adams missing a second free-throw to get a fast rebound and sending it straight back to Westbrook for the game-winner, and Jeremy Lin waving away Kobe to make a 3 on his own.
0:00 - Derrick Rose dunk over Joel Anthony (CHI vs MIA) 0:11 - Shai ties the game, Devonte Graham hits buzzer-beater from beyond half court (NOP vs OKC) 0:36 - Paul George 360 windmill dunk (LAC vs IND) 0:48 - Josh Smith Jam (CHA vs ATL) 1:00 - Chris Paul calls game (SA vs LAC) 1:14 - Wade full-court pass to LeBron (MIA vs IND) 1:31 - Steve Nash crazy pass to Amare Stoudemire (PHX vs SA) 1:46 - Peterson unexpected buzzer beater (TOR vs WAS) 2:08 - Jokic between-the-legs assist (MEM vs DEN) 2:20 - Miller buzzer-beater banked three to tie 2:36 - Full court-pass, alley-oop, hammer dunk (SAC vs LAC)
Kyrie’s shot should have been #1. That was the most consequential. The only field goal scored by either team in the final 5 minutes. Everything on the line.
OMG THANK U bro hoooly SHIT! like that dunk on gobert should’ve been on on here & above some of those “dunks” which are literally throw ins from Blake griffin! Shit is craaaaaazy
That's a big shot for Kawhi. However, you need to know if Kawhi miss that shot, they still get a chance to win in OT. On the other hand, Spurs lead 3-2 and with a 3 points lead in Game 6 final. If Allen miss that shot, heat will not have the 2013 NBA champion. That why Allen should be #1.
LeBron’s block wasn’t just good because it was a block, it’s because all momentum from splitter running to the basket and winding up for a dunk was stopped from LeBron going strait up and splitter couldn’t move past that
Y'all will do everything to discredit LeBron 🤣🤣 LeBron's block on Splitter was something else. LeBron literally blocked the dunk attempt of a 7 footer that had lots of momentum with just one arm.
@ the shot most likely would have missed, and if not, the heat still would probably win. It wasn’t a better block, but it for sure was a more important one.
or his half court shot to beat Golden State... or the step back three to beat Orlando... or the no-look 30 foot bounce pass to JaMychal Green for a dunk... or the 70 foot inbound pass alley-oop to Aaron Gordon... or his nutmeg pass versus Portland... or the long two pointer game winner to beat Philly...
Spurs only having two plays in here (Horry’s three vs. Detroit should be WAY higher than #61 btw) and being on the receiving end of like a million other ones is really annoying tbh. Where’s Ginobili’s block on Harden or his dunk on Bosh? Come on NBA.
Ginobili's game winner vs Denver and him drawing a charge on Melo to win the same game was also another crazy play Theres also one where he intentionally misses a free throw, gets the rebound and scores a three.
Man, Knicks got shafted in this countdown. One highlight? No Crawford game winner in Denver? No Lin game winner against the Raptors? No Anthony clutch 3s against the Bulls? No DiVincenzo shot at the end of game 2 against the Sixers? No Nate Robinson block on Yao Ming? Also, T-Mac too low. Putting that clutch performance behind a (great) DeAndre Jordan dunk is criminal.
So happy to see rays shot at 1. Such a legacy defying moment for so many players and teams I don’t think people understand no other shot in history had that much weight on it!!!
0:12 This is a personal favorite in recent years, like how Shai just chucks the ball from like 10 feet behind the arc and it swishes in, and then Devonte hits the farthest game winner ever, it's gonna be a classic in a few years.
I think MJ's snatch/block/steal is ranked too low. It is definitely worth being a top 20 play. MJ embarrassed Ron Mercer who was more than 10 years younger than he was at the time as a 40 year old.
Whoever made this sure was more a Miami/James fan than Celtics fan. No Paul Pierce. I thought for sure Rondo’s dunk over Bosh in the semi finals would’ve made the cut.
I would personally swipe 3 with 1, simply because that shot has suspense, and also it led to the eventual championship of the team. That one fateful shot.
Damn Kobe really left his mark. Mentality, rings, records, and highlights. #16 (his behind the back to a reverse dunk will always be one of my favorite plays EVER)
1. It was the first mike breen double bang call ever 2. That shot defined the future of NBA basketball and solidified that we have indeed entered the 3 point era 3. The game also pretty much sealed their 73-9 season 4. The shots from dame are legendary but neither led to further post season success
they even put dame's shots in wrong order - dont expect too much - rockets game they were behind and if they lost they had to play game 7 on the road / thunder game they were tied and it was just game 5 so they would have OT and 2 more games to finish it off - but NBA interns do not understand such stuff
@@Scubascub22 The biggest problem is putting it 4 places behind lebron’s block, these two plays happened in the same game and were equally as important
I have no idea how you really measure a top 100 like this, but it succeeds in fulfilling my “is this a good play test” in that my eyes bulge out of my head on every single one. Well done, NBA TH-cam team!
30 years a cavs fan as a kid it was truly something special to watch what Lebron did. I try to tell my son. but you just really had to see it happening. Go Cavs
As someone from Toronto watching that moment and game live on the edge of my seat, to see it go down as much a crucial and gigantic moment in NBA history is unbelievable, hell its even the thumbnail lol
LeBron’s block on Iguodala should be #1. Game 7, a 3-1 comeback against a team with a 73-9 season record-you’ve got to be kidding me if that’s not the #1 play of the last 25 years.
I wish they would've had Kevin Love's full court outlet pass to LeBron for the three-point bank shot to send it to overtime against the Wizards here. Deserves a mention.
Oh man, oh man, oh man. I still remember that. Buzzer beater. Full court outlet pass with a few seconds left. Needed a 3. LeBron shot a turn around jump shot behind the arc on Bradley Beal. Arena was stunned
Plays I think should've been on here: Kd 2021 game 7 fadeaway against bucks Kd pull up dagger in 2018 finals Harden game winner over two warriors Lebron goaltended and one vs Celtics in 2018
A few plays off the top of my head that I thought should've made the top 100: Kawhi's no-look steal Clint Capela's no-look steal Manu Ginobili game-winning block behind James Harden in Game 5 against the Rockets
Man all those plays really would not be the same without those great announcers
Yeah. A good call really does it all.
Except for play 99 that comentation was horrible
@jillianadkins8905 it's the Pels announcers so that's to be expected 😂
You're right some of these plays aren't that crazy the calls make it iconic
They are recorded afterwards
I’m glad T-Mac’s 13 points in 33 seconds made the top 10. That was true superhero ability.
Booo!

Parker responded with an awful airball. 🤣
@KeithTC2Martin he hit the backboard
It's too low tbh.
В топ 3
where is Chris Paul’s huge three to cut the lead to 42
big snub, smh
yeah that was the beginnig of biggest playoff comeback of NBA history
It's at LEAST a top 3 play of all time. Does this channel think they're the official NBA or something to do rankings like this?

@goatmode7317appreciate you! I was scrolling and missed it. Dunk on Varejao a miss though. Smh. Unless I missed it too lol.
We need a top 100 plays of all time(or maybe since 1980)
It's not that serious,we at 25 years since 2000🤷🏽♂️🍻🍺
It won’t fit into 100..
They did top 100 plays of the last 25 years partly because rn we are exactly a quarter of the way through the 21st century.
This is the video we needed…
regardless of how much praise wade has gotten he is still underrated.
Kyrie’s shot should have been #1. That was the most consequential. The only field goal scored by either team in the final 5 minutes. Everything on the line.
Without Ray's shot, they are guaranteed to lose the series. You can't know what would happen if Kyrie misses that shot, there's still a minute left.
Is this the dagger ? 🔥🔥🔥
There isn't even one dunk by Russell Westbrook on the list, it's a joke‼
OMG THANK U bro hoooly SHIT! like that dunk on gobert should’ve been on on here & above some of those “dunks” which are literally throw ins from Blake griffin! Shit is craaaaaazy
his coast to coast dunk should be top 20
His full court under the defender feet pass isnt even here like come on NBA!
I think Kawhi’s shot should of gotten #1
Should have*
And no, it was a lucky shot compared to Kyrie or Allen's shots in the Finals.
No way that fluke shot should be even close to #1
@@BeijongHojungonly game winner buzzer beater in game 7. Should have been number 1. Ray Allen's shot is overrated.

It was a great shot but rays and kyries shots were in the finals with the entire series on the line
I bet Jeff Teague has been been, in one way or another, part of at least half of these moments
How is the luka game winner over gobert not in
And the ones against the Clippers and the Blazers
It’s cuz he was speaking Slovenian
Yeah or that one play from 2 years ago where he got his rebound off a missed free throw and threw it in
@@Triads297That was actually in
I thought the one against the grizzlies would have been in surely
Chris Bosh's block in the corner in the finals should've made this list. Especially better than James block on the spurs.

@ the shot most likely would have missed, and if not, the heat still would probably win. It wasn’t a better block, but it for sure was a more important one.
They made sure not to include when Jason Tatum put Lebron on a poster 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
ROOKIE Tatum on a Conference Final GAME 7 !
Not including Klay's 37 points in one quarter is wild. Iconic NBA moment.
Harden's 3 against Golden State after KD stepped out of bounds should be here.
Nuggets homer here but you’ve GOT to have the Jokic 3 over AD in the WCF
or his half court shot to beat Golden State... or the step back three to beat Orlando... or the no-look 30 foot bounce pass to JaMychal Green for a dunk... or the 70 foot inbound pass alley-oop to Aaron Gordon... or his nutmeg pass versus Portland... or the long two pointer game winner to beat Philly...

Duncan’s 3 against Phoenix comes to mind too
Ginobili's block on Durant's fast break dunk should definitely be on this list !
Ginobili's game winner vs Denver and him drawing a charge on Melo to win the same game was also another crazy play
Theres also one where he intentionally misses a free throw, gets the rebound and scores a three.
I was absolutely waiting for the Ginobli dunk vs the Heat. Can't believe that didn't make it.
Kobe’s 60 point farewell on #60
Man that’s a nice nod
I was born on '96, so all of these have been ingrained in my memory from childhood. Thank you NBA for putting them in one video.
ANT having 3 plays in the top 75 is kind of crazy
Man, Knicks got shafted in this countdown. One highlight?
No Crawford game winner in Denver?
No Lin game winner against the Raptors?
No Anthony clutch 3s against the Bulls?
No DiVincenzo shot at the end of game 2 against the Sixers?
No Nate Robinson block on Yao Ming?
Also, T-Mac too low. Putting that clutch performance behind a (great) DeAndre Jordan dunk is criminal.
Thought the same thing. Very least DiVincenzo’s 3 shoulda been in here. The Knicks hate is expected at this point
Only Lin should have made the list
This video is literally my entire childhood. There's nothing like this feeling 🏀🫶
Those top 3 plays - immortalized not only because of the feat - but also the perfect play calling by Mike Breen
James Harden only having 1 play on this list is criminal.
