Lebron's dunk on İlyasova and buzzer beater against Timberwolves should be here
NBAT7 W
L
Giannis buzzer beater vs Knicks.
Dunk on illyasova wasn’t that impressive
Tbh he could be the whole top ten because his highlights are just that great especially the best highlights out of the year. It's hard for them to just pick one so they pick 3. But I think that picked the right ones.
Where’s Lebron’s game winner vs the Wolves and pass vs the Lakers at tho?
Srujan Jonnalagadda bro Lebron doesn’t need 5 spots in the top plays of the year, he’s already proved enough
Srujan Jonnalagadda W
They don't belong here....DeMars dunk vs pistons should be here and the dunk frm that guy on hornets
Raiyan demar was even like a cold dunk its just a clutch play
And when he threw it off the back of giannis and hit that 3
Demar Derozans insane and one poster in the clutch with less than 10 seconds left should be on this over a lot of these plays
lebron is in 3 of these top 10 of the year, thats ridiculous.
Jdot Bdots well this video was made by the Cleveland Sports Programming Network aka CSPN soooo
and his dunk over Nurkic should've been higher
The block on Butler and the game winner in OT should've been at least in the top 3.
The No look pass against lakers better than play #10
The Lakers ball fake should be top 5. It’s literally the coolest past I’ve ever seen
For a year full of crazy plays, this is a weak list. Come on ESPN
Some of you guys might not know, but Harden licked his lips too while staring him down. He savage lol
DeRozan dunk against Detroit not in top 10... really ESPN. 🙄
baby dino's get no love
especially cause we gearing up for the playoffs
Shoulda been there instead of Chriss’s block or chandler’s dunk
A clutch basket at that! 4th quarter, down by one. That play is crazy slept on!
I was waiting for that dunk too, I honestly thought it was better than the number 1 play on this reel...
That was lame they didn’t even win from it
And how is Lebron over Nurkic only 6?????
lmao and they put mitchell's layup at 4 over that
jtturner1508 just gotta complain don't you?
that's the best play of the year. i have never seen a dunk like that tbh. Giannis alley was nice and Mitchell's layup was cool but not better.
Erick, there are DOZENS of dunks better than that. Jordan's dunk over Ewing or Mutombo. Wades' dunk over Varajao, Vince Carter's dunk over Alonzo Mourning. Even LBJ had dunks better than that in previous years.
LeBron can do that dunk in his sleep if he wanted. Just running down and dunking, nothing special lol. Giannis literally jumped over another player to dunk and Donovan's hand switch mid-air to score is much harder to do than any dunk. You fellas need to watch more ball.
there is no way in hell, that mitchells layup was more impressive than lebrons dunk on nurkic, what a joke
That layup by harris was lit
LEBRON MVP
Tobia Fabbianelli Yeah, 4th seed in the east. Terrible defensive year, and worst plus minus in the league for a month straight. MVP.
LikeMike294 Exactly Lebron doesn't deserve MVP at all. People just look at his stats and that's it and claim he's MVP when Harden had a far better year overall.
LikeMike294 if he was on a team like the Raptors he would have won every game but he has to sacrifice his self so he makes mistakes like everyone
Tobia Fabbianelli If, If If... You cant make a solid argument on hypothetical statements. SMH
in the top 50 plays the rockets have 2 game winners,none by harden, mvp my ass
Lebrons the GOAT
Have you ever heard of Michael Jordan?
6-0 > 3-5
The Person Below Me Didn’t Go To School there both top 2 greatest players ever but there is no greatest of all time.
The Person Below Me Didn’t Go To School rings is the only thing Jordan has over Bron
Scott McGinn
5 MVPs > 4 MVPs
LBJ losing the 2011 Finals makes him incapable of being the GOAT.
The last play OWWWWWWWW definition of my ears
Lebron behind the back to Wade should have been higher than 10... To catch a loose ball in stride and no look behind the back through the opponents legs.. People don't realize how insane that was
jtturner1508 but ur telling me he planned that it would go thru the legs? He for sure didn't on other okay where he got it thru thompsons legs
u do know that 99.9% of all great plays arent planned? rofl understand the definition of a play pls. thats like saying lbj block in game 7 does not deserve to be an all time play because he didnt plan it with the coach like "ok imma block iguadala watch me"
Meraz Hossain I meant that he wasn't trying to get it thru the legs, lbjs block ofc he was trying to get the block. Sorry for being unclear. Btw lebron himself admitted in an interview that he was trying to do a regular behind the back move and only realized at half time that it went thru Tristan's legs
The first pass was insane
Giannis deserves a top 10 plays only by himself tbh
Wonderlandian he jumped over a human being in game i had to figure out what i was watching a nigga thought it was the dunk contest
Lebron has done that on multiple occasions
Cam Willis giannis is a beast, that play reminded me of VC and LBJ jumping over another player in a game.
@@tyleraguilar2474 hell no he hasn't jumped OVER PPL from the dotted line for an alley oop and finished it with one hand.
Giannis so DIS-RE-SPECT-FUL god damn 😫
Navakash Gill I'm not even sure Giannis realized anyone was below him
that dunk wasnt as good as AD's againts the clippers a few days ago
I completely agree with u he didn’t
Mamta Mishra your kidding me right🙄
Mamta Mishra AD fan detected if it was that good then it would make it atleast at top 5 man
This was an exceptional NBA season, playoffs too so far!
Lmao that commentators voice for #1 when it cracked made me weak 🤣🤣🤣
I hope the Bucks go far in the playoffs
Tonyy Chavez same
lol
YEET
Lmao
“I think he’s in a body bag right now in the hallway” 😂😂
Derozan postering tolliver at the end of the detroit-raptors game?
aaaaaaand Giannis Antetekounmpo jumped over a man. an upright man. who's quite tall.
Over an NBA player.I repeat.A FUCKIN NBA PLAYER!
Nathan Leung AND he didn't have the ball the whole play. He STILL had to, in mid air, locate the basketball, get his hand on it, throw it down, AND stick the landing! All while jumping over a 6' 6" athlete
Made it look so easy you don't even notice it at first.
@@Pulse22 I didn't notice it til the second angle...
@@mauricecalhoun5608 Me too. I thought he just passed him.
i laughed my ASS off at the "disrespect timer"
the reaction on Giannis' oop was priceless lmao
This shit ridiculous lebron's plays should have been all top 3
Dangerous Von bruh it’s called shortening a fucking word. Just cuz I disagreed with u doesn’t mean u need to get ur panties in a bunch
That Giannis dunk should definetely still be 1
Hell no, The Greek freaks dunk will be in the top 5 dunks of all time
Dangerous Von exactly smh tht harden was a push off
Ur Done if that's the case lebron jumped over John Lucas baseline which was way better
Good call on that Giannis-Middleton play being number 1!
#7 is so underrated. So silky smooth.
Lebrons game winner against the wolves was better than the pass.
That giannis dunk was filthy
#3 he did that against 4 players 🐐
Lbj the goat .I'm sorry just player wise
nicholas hunt W
nicholas hunt 3-5
Aitisham Aslam that is why he say player wise. Not based on team records. Ur a dumbass but hey u should go study
Prince Ace last time I checked it's a team game, the way a player influences a game is part of their legacy. Don't give me that "without lebron they suck" crap because the offense runs entirely through Lebron and naturally without him they're lost. That's why he lost to the mavs and spurs in 2014 and why he's not the goat
Aitisham Aslam did i say they suck without bron? i did not right. And yeah he choked the 2011 finals but that mavs swept the 2 time defending champ lakers. But the 2014. Look at the spurs run. Unstoppable team.
The suns made in 2 of these haha
Aiden Lo HELL YEAH THEY DID
Where is Russ destroying Thon Maker?
Giannis with the YAMMIS!
Giannis is unreal
This is the worst top 10 I've seen in my life ESPN are amateurs...
WESTBROOKS DUNK ON THON MAKER?
Ahmed Hussein W
Are we really gonna act like Giannis didn't just jump over that guy with ease?
Jumped over a 6'6 guy who wasn't ducking to catch an alley oop with ease?*
Good to see hardaway have the play of the season
i mean Raptors did have tons of amazing plays but its Espy so they won't post any
Been fun seeing Giannis break out this year.
what a season !
Giannis could easily have the top 10 plays by him self..
So as lebron
Prince Ace both of them tbh 5 lbj 5 giannis
#2 was str8 up cold.
That Giannis dunk was so mean dude it 10/10
I loved Mitchell's putback dunk I thought that was better than the hand switch layup
Suns having 2 plays in the top 10 is the best thing to happen to that team this season
Giannas went no. 1 thanks to their reactions ladies and gentlemen. (6:01)
Actually..the reactions were worth it.
Giannis, baby
OMG GIANNIS!!! I hope that in a few years he'll be the best in the league, with that body and technical skills nobody can stop him
Your comment is insane!!!!!!
That Donovan shot at a first glance doesn't look amazing... But you gotta realize how nuts that shot is
That disrespect timer. Lmao
3:31 my dude said “let me dunk this with my right hand” jumps like if he’s going to dunk it, & says “nah, let me switch hands & lay it up.”
Air Mitchell, true rookie of the year.
Can't wait for Larry to dunk on KD again in the Finals
n for lebron to beat gsw again
Giannis has an all time great dunk right there. I’d say top 10 ingame dunk.
Ni derozan ending tollivers career?
fax
Smh keep disrespecting demar
STILLAHIL who demar?
kanelbankmusic
Oohhhh
Anthony tolliver has a career?
Hahaha
JK
I miss this season
You guys should do top ten of retired players
5:49 look how high Giannis is! And he jumped over Hardaway who is 6 foot 6! Best jump over someone dunk ever.
Number #8 s/o to that inbounder
Where's the DeRozan clutch poster on toLLiver
LeBrons shot on the timberwolves, and throwing it off giannis's back?
Disrespect timer 😂😂 yooooo
Murrays ankle breaker on Steven Adams is better than Hardens on Johnson !
I should be number 1
Null.
the Greek freaks dunk was definitely #1, made me say holy johnny mackenroll
Dame's buzzer beater tho
Cavs in 4
Nets in 7
Against Who?
wizzadaking™ lmfao good one bro
Malcolm Nesbitt W
NBA Players against anyone. Except the warriors. Then maybe 6
That was NOOIIICCCEE... oh hai Mark
Where is westbrooks dunk where he ended thon makers life?
Never would’ve thought the suns would have multiple plays in the top 10 plays of the year
the james harden ankle breaker deserves the number one spot over a giannis alley oop; i dont think ive ever seen an ankle breaker as flawless as that in the nba. did u see how his ankle twisted?!?!?!!?
Donovan Mitchell paying tribute to NBA Street's "Dunk to Layup"
“Lebron made nurkic a screensaver” hahahahha
Man this Video has it all.
Best Player - Lebron James
MVP - James Harden
ROY - SpidaMitchell
DPOY - Rudy Gobert
Coach of the year - Quinn Snyder
Warriors being dominated
and The Greek Freak.
A top ten plays of the year these days is a normal top ten plays of the week back in the 90s
Nasty dunks an very good plays king 🏀🕌
#2 is not even good. It’s a normal crossover/anklebreaker. The only reason people think it was so good is cuz he stared at him
Christian kinda like the ai stepover
Christian idk he also got him pretty good
Naw it was pretty lit lol
It was a push off and travel. But still pretty disrespectful
Spero Sandouk I think harden is crazy overrated, and so I naturally probably see things biased against harden, but that was not a pushoff
Thank you so much for showing me lebron's dunk 10+ times, I didn't see it well enough the first 3 times
Y'all got James harden's crossover as #2?!?!? That was definitely #1!😬🔥
7 is the best :)
#6 outstanding slam. Omg
John McEnroe hasn’t seen that much hops since he jumped over that car in Mr. Deeds
Harden's crossover is so overrated
doncic vs victor claver is way worse
"jtturner1508" you guys love hating on Harden that shit is pathetic you criticize everything this man does niggas are weird these days.
For real.
was thinking the same thing, was like a slack version of kyries step backs
No it’s not really about that, it’s more the level of disrespect as my mans fell, like imo that was arguably the best play as that will be remembered for a very long time
#9 was such a goal tend. It hit the rim before he blocked it
So no gary harris or andrew wiggins game winners ?
trash game winners, not even hype vs trash teams. lebrons game winner deserves it here tho, he blocked then finishes on the same man. now thats a play n hype too, off an inbound with 0.1 sec
Meraz Hossain You mean 3.2?
Ty Hield Nah, game winners against the Thunder don't count remember? Their fans whined that all year long
Who is the bucks commentator lol he lost it on giannis dunk
TheKingbron6 Marques Johnson
TheKingbron6 can't really blame him
Its actually GUS Johsnson
Can’t believe Giannis jumped OVER Hardaway
Giannis gets #1 im proud
I just watched a grown man jump over another grown man and dunk it. Pure greatness
6:01 lmao his hat
my favoruite season
Harden’s stepback was a clear travel smh 🤦♂️
Push off too.
LeBron Real MVP they didn't even show buzzer beater vs Wolves, pass vs Lakers, or windmill vs Suns, and the dunk vs Philly!
4:56 nigga knew he was gonna be a dank meme
Giannis Antetokounmpo
OMG LeBron James what a ridiculous play for this season
lebrons game winner, lebrons dunk on illy, and westbrooks dunk on thon should be here
Bron deserves all ten of these spots
Damn I wish Larry nance was still on the lakers that's my guy
