Dirks finals run is one of if not the best run ever in terms of carrying a team and the path was one of the most difficult ones ever as well!
@Leonardo De Carlo most definitely cant argue that! Like 24-24 from the line in a playoff game is one of the most underrated nontalked about stats ever yo like Dirk literally stunned the entire world doing what he did in that championship run top 3 runs ever with it being number 1 in my eyes! Itll prolly never happen again with a team winnin it all with just one superstar against multiple 2+ superstar teams!
Duncan’s is crazy too
agreed
Shawn Marion,Tyson Chandler were big,all these people need help either with players or great coaches!!!
Yea also J Kidd
Hakeem did it his whole career in the hardest era that’s why I think he is the best center of all time, if he had Ralph Sampson all his career they would have won more than 2 championship together. They made the finals in Sampson third season and Hakeem 2nd year
Hakeem is my 3rd favorite player of all time but no center will ever be as great as Kareem Abdul-Jabbar
@@weeklybasketball2017 he played in a era than just Wilt and he were dominant. Hakeem was the player in the court offensive and defensive at the same time and beat the best bigs of the 90s and didn’t have the same help as Kareem had as magic, worthy, Oscar.
@@weeklybasketball2017 Olajuwon owns Kareem and is by far the bestest center ever! Olajuwon beat Kareem with a prime magic and worthy as a second year player! Olajuwon is far superior to Kareem
@mudathir mohammad Kareem would have zero rings without Oscar or Magic! Kareem couldn't even make the playoffs twice in his prime in the weak 70's! Kareem got dominated by great centers like Moses Malone and Olajuwon
@mudathir mohammad no Kareem didn't play against Bill Russell and he only played the old injured Wilt
I don't think 2016 LeBron is qualified tho, Kyrie averaged 27.1 ppg that series, so basically LeBron did had offensive help. Not considered a carry by any standard measure.
Ikr
True. A far cry from the first Cavs team he carried to finals against San Anton in his 1st tour of duty there. He had no one there close to Kyrie or Kevin Love then.
@@Amick44 well the east was pretty weak in 07..only 2 teams had 50 wins.,and then Cavs got swept..not single win in 4 games..and the video is talking about carrying a team to a championship.,not a sweep..so I don't think that counts either..
@@JetEngine85 the east might not have been as good as the west but he still beat a championship Pistons team, the nets with Jason Kidd, Prime Vince Carter and RJ. and the gilbert arenas wizards. Most people just like to say the east was weak and discredit Brons run but the east was definitely not easy.
@@vota5201 right the haters will say anything to try to make his rings discredited because they salty all the time
This is huge cap, Kobe had Pau, Bron had Kyrie, and MJ had Pippen. They were still by far the best players on their respective teams but it’s not like they had 0 help.
You guys give too much credit to Gasol! He was a very good player but he was never top 5 in his position
@@BertMustin_ top 5 or not it’s not like he was a total bum
@@maanasravishankar5465 yeah what really matters is that they were a top 5 COMPLEMENT to the #1 player. If you put another centre on the lakers who was technically better than pau, but he didn't fit as well, then they would have been less successful.
Shut your asssssssssssssssssss if it was a 1 v5 easy win
1994 Hakeem Olajuwon is the only legitimate carry a team to a ring in NBA history!
Wade’s performance in the 06 finals is unbelievable
Well he had 93 freethrows I think
It was fixed af

Gonna say that, also didn't Kareem win a title in Milwaukee?

Dirks title is most impressive
If we look objectively D-Wade championship run was most impressive, but the sweetest title is definitely Dirks in 2011
🤡🤡🤡
Tim Duncan's was better imo. But Dirk definitely carried that Mavs team for sure.
No Wade's 06 is
@@mickeymouse8797 wades 06 title was rigged in a heat fan and I’ll even admit it

ibaka too
One of my all time favorite playoff runs 2011 dirk.. Also 2009 revenge tour Kobe

only one forgotten was Kawhi with the raps in 2019

caruso and kcp the only two role players lakers should keep
Rondo better
2019 Kawhi Leonard and the Raptors
W
No 😂
KD tore his Achilles and Klay tore his ACL = Raptors win the title
Leonard definitely played a huge part in the championship run, but he didn't hard carry them as much as the players in this vid. Every player on the Raptors that season played a huge role, and if they were hard carried by Leonard, then why would they have an even better win percentage without him the next year?
No
Dirk's 2011 championship run is still the most memorable one for me years later.
16’ Lebron, 11’ Dirk, And 95’ Hakeem My Top 3 Favorite
94' Olajuwon is the only real carry in NBA history
LeBron didn’t even carry he had kyrie Irving
16 LeBron was a superteam
@@Ajitsingh09871 no he wasn't what are you talking about?!?
@@princeofzamundaakeem4544 Kyrie, Lebron, Jr Smith, Klove is what he is talking about. Not really a super team. More of an underdog.
In the 2009 finals Pau averaged 19 points, 9 rebounds and 2 blocks with excellent defense and great shooting - 60% from the field and 78% on free throws. He actually had a better Offensive and Defensive Rating than Kobe. That was hardly a solo carry job. They also had Lamar Odom, Ariza, and Bynum. That was a stacked team.
Pau was not that good…. No better than Aldrich Stoudenmire Garnet Randolph bosh David west … pau was serviceable tho
Also Lamar Odom Andrew Bynum Trevor Ariza where trash … they literally did nothing without the Lakers Sasha , Adam Morrison, Jordan. Farmer Luke Walton are some of the worst NBA players of all times …. You better give Kobe his credit lol
@@rexflex7548 Did you just type out "David West was better than Pau Gasol"??? Not to mention Randolph?? An aging Stoudemire? I mean maybe Bosh and Garnett? But that's also a big maybe. But god damn, David West?? How do we revoke this man's right to type on the internet. This was a crime to read.
"Stacked" lmao
Far from stacked . But to call pau no help is a huge stretch
Dude, 16‘ cavs can‘t be on this list, without LeBron they don‘t win a champion, but without Kyrie they don‘t win it too
Kyrie is trash
Kyrie helped but without LeBron they don’t win it
@@The_king567 thats the point..they need each other to win..kyrie average 26pts and love ave 16pts thats very big help..carry a team means that 2nd option score lower than 18pts per game
@@carloconopio6513 they came back from 3-1 without James they don’t win it period
@@The_king567 without irving they didnt win also..average 27pts per game is not big help? Even pippen did not average that his highest average in playoffs is 22..
I would give A.I the honorable mention, he carried his team on his back
Edit: first I said honorable mention because he did carry the team but didn't get a title, I wasn't really thinking of the meaning of honorable mentions
Thx for the likes though
They didn’t win a championship
He lost
He never won a title though sadly.
He didn't win
@@cade9173 that’s why he said Honorable mention 😑
Tim Duncan the best one so underrated the goat 🐐
The greatest power forwards ever play the game.
People forget that dirk had to play against multiple all stars by him self
So we just going to forget about what Kyrie did in the 2016 finals?
He only made one big shot that’s it
@@t.o.p2804 he averaged 27 points in that series
LeBron & Kyrie co-existed very well in the Finals that year, but let’s be real here. Without “The Block” we wouldn’t have seen the “The Shot”

You forgot to include the 2008 NBA Finals where Brian Scalabrine was hospitalized after game 6 by carrying the Boston Celtics on his back. Respect for the White Mamba

Duncan #’s were crazy 🥴 like Rodman, Mutombo, and Hakeem all rolled in one. Jesus.
That 2011 finals in my opinion is the most impressive
Hakeem Olajuwon in the 94' season is the only legitimate carry in NBA history!! Olajuwon literally owns the title of 1 man show and he did it with less help than anybody in history! Olajuwon is still to this day the only player to win MVP, Finals MVP, DPOY in the same season and still to this day the only player to ever record 200+ blocks and 200+ steals in the same season!
Ikr
and Dirk
Nah, Giannis and Jordan won them awards in one season also. Definitely one of best 5’s of all time
@@LILE1534giannis didn’t win mvp and finals mvp in the same season
Great Video 😊
Goated channel ❤️
Rick barry in the 1975 title run was insane averaged 29.5 ppg 5 rpg and 5 apg in the nva fibals as a heavy underdog against Washington. Seconded closest in his teammates averaged was 12 ppg.
MJ 🐐🐐
I have been waiting for this video for a long time
98' jordan was a hardcore carry job
keep up the good work. Early gang
The way he pronounced Mutombo tho 😭 that’s how you know he’s reading off a script
Good content 👍
This was damn good!
Tim Duncan numbers is unreal.
Hakeem championship run is the most impressive, carried a 6th seed all the way to the NBA finals
2021 nba finals, Bucks and Giannis 🙌🏾🔥
Dirk is one hell of the player in that championship
2016 LeBron you know damn well he had a healthy Kyrie and love if he didn't have those he won't be able to take the warriors to a game 6
Kyrie is trash
@@AkamexAris1023 Kyrie is trash? You know damn who made the game winning shoot if it wasn't for him LeBron couldn't win in 2016
@@AkamexAris1023 true we the lebronys should only credit lebron and no others
You don't get it. Would Pippen and Rodman (the two hall of famers) be able to 3 peat without MJ? NO. Would Kyrie and Love be able to win come back from a 3-1 deficit in the finals? NO. Both teams needed their driving force. That superstar that could carry them all the way. None of these superstars should be discredited then. End of discussion
@@jordanwills574 did I say Kyrie was the best player on that team no you don't get it without Kyrie wouldn't have a chance to win against the warriors. my question to you is was LeBron the only one who perform great in the 2016 ? No Carry job is only one player is playing out of this world ball , Kyrie was balling out Love was making 3s so what made you think LeBron carried the cavs to win the chip
Olajuwon holds the NBA record for leading his team in 4 categories for 9 seasons. He was top 10 in points, rebounds, steals and blocks pretty much every season and still holds the record for most 5 for 5's. Between 88'-95' Olajuwon avg 24ppg, 13rpg, 2apg, 2spg, 4.3bpg on 51% FG! He lead his team of coke addicts and injury prone busts to the playoffs every year where he would leave it all on the court with no other teammates avg 20ppg or 10rpg! Olajuwon is the king of the carry
YES about Tim Duncan in 2003!
Legends
Duncan had a quad double but 2 blocks went to Robinson
2016 cavs weren't carried by lebron
Remeber Kyrie Irving ?
No kyrie helped but it was LeBrons team
@@The_king567 you dont understand what carry means...it means that you had little help to win...je had kyrie and love
Shaqs performance in year 2000 against the pacers Is incredible
You should do where stars by themselves had carried a team to the finals and loss
Shaq’s seems to be the most lop sided compared to teammate contributions but for Duncan to average almost a quadruple double for the series is just outrageous
Hell LeBron would not have won without Kyrie
or Kevin Love for that matter. his defense was very important to the Cavs taking 2016.
Kyrie is trash. He's not on the list for a reason
@@AkamexAris1023 go watch anime bozo
The goats
Shaq 2000 was a beast lol 38 points and 16 rebounds SMH 😲
How Lebron carried a Cavs to the title if he had Kyrie on his side? Not anything against, he deserved all the glory for that comeback, but dont underestimate and underrate Kyrie during the whole finals and PO run in general
Kyrie Irving helped too lebron did not carrie them
yeah.. they both carried the team. . damn this video made it look lebron carried the whole team ALONE when theres Kyrie making clutch buckets the whole series
Kyrie is trash
That's unfair to say that. If that's ever the case, how MJ carried the Bulls when he had Scottie Pippen?
@@kwardBulldog dude kyrie dropped 40 plus like twice and averaged 28 ppg
D Wade's 06 chip made me a fan. He was unbelievable in that series.
I love dwade so much my fav player off all time in any era dwade the most shifty player I've ever seen like in the paint he can slip through 3 defenders sheeeshh I'll never forget that and can block centers
The dirk ring was my fav.. against the aka bird, mike, and magic hahah lebron wade bosh
LeBron did not carry in 2016 Christian Thompson and Kyrie Irving helped him a lot and he barely outscored kyrie
You also forgot love 16 pts per game thats a big help for 3rd option
Kyrie averaged 27.1 points per game.
U mean D wade took his free throw to another level
1998 Jordan is the real carry job. Pippen was hobbled that entire playoff run
“Carry job”
That Jazz team was garbage. They only scored 54 total points in one of the games in that series. Jordan didn’t carry anyone, the Jazz just didn’t really bother to show up most of the time.
He carried his team to winning 4 straight playoff games.
It’s not about the competition bozo.
You can’t win having only 1 good player alone so don’t be that.
@@ArgentineFootballfan1978 someone has never played sports at all. It’s always about your competition. You are only as good as the people you beat.
Also gotta add Rick Barry in 1975
Absolutely
52 years is a LONG time for a championship... LeBron got it done!!! 🏆
I would have maybe even put patrick mccaw in all 3 of his rings he was the most important part of the team
😂😂😂
Its baffling when u see duncan's rebounding and block numbers throughout his career and he NEVER won a dpoy award
2016 is the best final in NBA history
Depends on how you look at it, the most dominate playoffs were the 2000 lakers going 14-1 over the entire playoffs, with there only loss in the finals, but that was the best comeback ever in my opinion.
@@skootskeet 3-1 was the best final not the 14-1 lol
Not even close
@@jessbactar8728 14-1 over the entire playoffs
Jordan didn't carry he had Scottie
Tbh I don’t agree to me there’s no such thing as carrying a team because they had the most points when you’re a team you have to be great it doesn’t matter who’s the superstar but I’ve rather say my team helped help win because we’re team my team let be the team leading scorer
Yeah Jordan can't win his 6 nba titles without both rodman and pippen
Kobe as Krazy - Outwork - Beef - Excellent
Thumbnail: we also both carried Shaq while at it.

@@mcre314 how come in 2020 the raptors couldn't make past the second round since they had everybody from last year except kawhi and danny green?

where is 2019 kwahi leonard???????!!!!!!
In my opinion Shaq is like Mike Tysonof Basketball. He wasn't the best ever, but in his peak he was just unstoppable, the most dominant athlete in the world.
For me Hakeem is the best he fight against strong team way back in 90s.But without triple double stats,He his a Role player for rebounds and blocks
Lebron wouldn’t have won without kyrie, kyrie didn’t even remotel carry, but that Cleveland team was basically kyrie and lebron, not even love
Give credit also to love..he has 16 pts per game..thats a good help for 3rd option..
Dirk the goat he carried the best no help against the big 3 the goat they say 3erd best against and the most underrated power forward hall of famer c bosh
Dirks path to his ring was most impressive..
You missed Kawhi's run with the Raptors in 2019.

didn’t carry

@@mcre314 and it says in the video here, Lbj carried the cavs on 16. lol.. he got kyrie averaging 27ppg per game and kevin love. lol.. then ur saying Kawhi didnt carry the raptors. lol
Everything was on point except 2016, when a teammate averaged 27.1 ppg which is lets be honest 30 per game, 3.9 assists, 3.9 rebs, 2.1 stls, and 40.5 percent from deep and the iso game winner to seal the deal you know clearly not one player carried a team to a chip.
Who would win
A trio of unstoppable nba players and also considered one of the best trios in the nba
Or
An unathletic 7 ft german player who is considered one of the best big man shooters
*Magic Johnson* - 1980 NBA Finals
2016 LeBron had kyrie and love
Kyrie is trash
Both were healthy too
Who the hell came up with this list LMAO
2016, 1993,1995 & 2009 were not carry jobs
1993 finals Pippin averaged 21, 9, 7.
1995 finals Olajuwon had 3 teammate averaging over 16 ppg and 2 averaging 10 rebounds pg
2009 finals Gasol averaged 18 and 9 on 60% from the field
2016 finals Kyrie was averaging 27 ppg including 41 in game 5. in what world is averaging 27 ppg getting carried
1994 finals was more of carry job than 1995
hell how you leave rick berry in 1975 c'mon now
What about 2011?
Here after Giannis just won his Championship... his performance could qualify on this list.
Best performance though? 1. Jordan in 1991 2. Giannis in 2021.
These two performances were on another level.
Dirk was the most impressive he had nobody else j kids was out his prime also in The jet good but never been a all star 🌟 🌟 ⭐️ player players
Kobe didn't carry that Lakers team, the Magic weren't even the better team? That one seems like a huge reach.
Edit: Neither did Jordan..he had a fantastic team wtf is this..now Hakeem, that was a carry! Nowitzki, literally carried that mavs team.
Double double Shaq had a great game. Still a star
2016,2011, and 2006 are top 3 rings all time
I can agree but in terms of finals performances by their best player, 2000 and 2003 also are top
2011 and 2006
2006 was rigged so nah
not 2016
it's obvious that you are reading a script. MJ had pippen Lebron had a good team and Kobe was with Pau
and everyone knows the 93 suns win it all if 6th man cedric ceballos does not get hurt and miss the finals..he was the 5th best player on the team
16 goat james that was the best playoff run i ever seen he literally ran thru the west
How did he do that when he played in the East?
@@stevenwicker7072 i meant east
Put respect on Jason Kidd, aleja Stojakovic, and Shawn Marion’s names. They all were on the Mavs championship team.
True.all past their primes. But effective.
And Jason Terry
They were all 90 years old.
LeBron did not carry the 2016 cavs
How
Why is steph curry not on this list
In my opinion refs helped dwade but still was a good carry job
I know its in the 70s but Bill Walton in '77 is a time he carried his team
2006 finals was rigged
Definitely
Dont get me wrong hakeem and dirk were the only allstars to their team that year they won
