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!
-A Spurs Fan
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?
@@jamescarlisle4023 walking off the court against their finals loss to MIL was the better highlight.
Internet dude
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
Violation 😂
ong bro. and dont forget the hornets/bobcats too
mid? they've been ass
I mean John Wall was a thing for like a season or two
@@tridra5714 fr
No dwade dunk on Anderson varajao is criminal
Yeah...one of the filthiest dunks I have ever seen
yeah it deserved a spot
Holy shit that is criminal now im minda pissed
😮 They definitely forgot it by mistake
@ booooooooo
Nice nod to put Kobe's 60 point farewell on #60
And 60 likes
just like derek .4 fisher at #4 :)
Oh didnt see that :) But to be honest this moment for me was far more special. Maybe top15. I cried my eyes out
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.
The Steven Adams one wasn't a game winner
Also the Steph Curry breaking three point record shot
@@AmethystTheOfficial it was in there
@@Grievous_ oh ok maybe I missed it
They snubbed the Spurs for sure.
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.
D Wade really doesn’t get talked about enough
his insane poster on anderson varejou shouldve been in this
facts my favorite player ever
His transgender son does 🫡
Only if u are 12 yo. Hes certified legend
worse than harden
IS THIS THE DAGGER⁉⁉
#1 🔥
Watching that live was the craziest thing I’ve ever seen
Ouhhhhoooohhggggh
#1 in my opinion 🔥
still hurting my 76ers heart ^^
No Klay Thompson 37 in a quarter is criminal
It’s best plays , not best points in a quarter bro
@@gregl9175 And how many moments did you just see? Kobe 81? Lebron 25 straight? Klays is just as impressive.
No, and the 76 shouldn't be here either.
@@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
This video is literally my entire childhood. There's nothing like this feeling 🏀🫶
Man, I miss Kobe
One of Jokic’s WCF shots against the Lakers should be in the top 50 at least
Why?
Plenty of bias for American players in this one.
@@raybohlander5502 cuz that 3 over AD's head was fkin crazy
Dwyane Wade’s career is criminally underrated.
regardless of how much praise wade has gotten he is still underrated.
This is the video we needed…
Is this the dagger ? 🔥🔥🔥
I bet Jeff Teague has been been, in one way or another, part of at least half of these moments
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...
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)
Bro got tired 😂😂
GPT free plan 😅😅😅😅
Did you include JLIN? Easily the most exciting short run in NBA history
Worldwide
this some funny ass shit lmao
@@Tayo39 not really debatable. he dropped 40 on kobe, bunch of last minute buzzer beaters. one of the greatest runs ever (though short)
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.
Really surprised it's only 99th. Two ridiculous shots in a row, and it's far below other game winners.
Not including Klay's 37 points in one quarter is wild. Iconic NBA moment.
They made sure not to include when Jason Tatum put Lebron on a poster 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
ROOKIE Tatum on a Conference Final GAME 7 !
There definitely some Lebron plays that shouldn’t have been on here and some that should have been lower
Man we really got spoiled with some amazing highlights from the 2000s and 2010s
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!
@@beratcntrk No Russ or klay dropping 37 in a quarter. Or when Klay scored 60 on 11 dribbles.
We need a top 100 plays of all time(or maybe since 1980)
It's not that serious,we at 25 years since 2000🤷🏽♂️🍻🍺
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.
Ray is still #1 right?
@@recchi51 no and shouldn't be
@@Camcola why not?
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.
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.
It was a great shot but rays and kyries shots were in the finals with the entire series on the line
Kobe’s 60 point farewell on #60
Man that’s a nice nod
I love how when the announcers see Robert horry open they’re just like oh no 😂
Crazy not a single Linsanity play, game winners, crossovers, huge dunks, just crazy, at least 3 top 30 plays, if not top 10 with the game winner against Toronto smh 😂
But some boring shots from Lebron or Kobe or Curry breaking a record were worthy? lol.
83, 46, and 39 really wowed me
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.
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.
They could have chosen any play from the last championship.
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
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)
Shout out to the NBA announcers. Truly some of the best in sports!
Chris Bosh's block in the corner in the finals should've made this list. Especially better than James block on the spurs.
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.
I'm not hating on LeBron. All I'm saying is that Bosh's block is better because it was to secure the game. James block was good, but Bosh's was clutch
@ 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.
I’m a spurs fan and seeing the fisher and Allen killed me 😂
and yet... it's nuts how close San Antonio was to winning even MORE titles. what an incredible organization led by an all-time great player.
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
ANT having 3 plays in the top 75 is kind of crazy
Varejao himself must have made this list because there is no way the dwade dunk on him isnt up here.
As a Cazs fan I was waiting for it the whole time!
14:22 not putting Stacey King's iconic commentary for the DRose poster on Dragic is tragic. Did they not get the memo?
STOP IT! STOP IT! WHAT ARE YOU DOING DRAGIC?!
Exactly!
So surreal as a raps fan to see a top 3 moment in 25 years live
As a spurs fan, seeing the #1 play was still very heartbreaking to see
Can't believe they didn't include Bookers 7000 point free throw
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
D-Wade posturizing Anderson Varejao should be at least Top 30
Dwyane Wade's dunk on Varejao not being on here is insane
0:48 kids today don’t know PG had it like that
28th place- final score 69:67 😳 players really knew how to defend!
A lot of stuff left off to make sure we go more plays from certain guys is what makes this disappointing.
Yup a lot of narrative pushing
yeah they even had to make sure to mess up PG dunk on Birdman by putting unnecessary narrative afterwards
Harden's 3 against Golden State after KD stepped out of bounds should be here.
That was goated ngl
Fantastic ranking, no bias towards recent plays and a great balance. Even some plays I had not seen before, didn't expect that!
Those top 3 plays - immortalized not only because of the feat - but also the perfect play calling by Mike Breen
Agreed but Breen is only the announcer for the top two. #3 (Kawhi) is Kevin Harlan, who is every bit as great at Breen
Been getting daily updates from 4ra on match highlights, loving it! 📱🏏
I read the coments
Like HOW people dare taking shot at #1 ?
This Allen shot is arguably the biggest shot in NBA history.
We are in the finals. Miami is down 3-2 on the series. Spurs lead by 3 with less than 10 seconds remainings. Look at courtside, there is already the personel for the trophy protocol
Allen miss that shot, the Spurs are champions and no back2back for the Heat.
Kawhi miss that shot, it is overtime + it is just the second round
LeBron miss the block, they are down 2 with more than 1 minute remaining
Kyrie miss his shot, it is still 89 - 89
Allen is clearly #1. And if they make a top 100 plays in history, for me, it is easily in the top3 of biggest play of the history of NBA
It makes me so happy knowing how many of these I saw live. You gotta love the NBA man.
Lebron vs the Pistons at 61 is NUTS how is that not top 10
Watching 58 live was awesome
no. 16 has to be the best in game dunk i have ever seen
TMac 13 points in 30 seconds was one of the most iconic moments in NBA history. Nothing like it.
gotta love the nba 🤣
Halfway through I was like how is there no Jordan on here?? And then I realized what I was watching lol
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.
That’s pure MJ bias come on. He’d have like 10 spots if this was the previous 25 years tho
It's maybe not the greatest play of all time but I've rewinded Carter's dunk at 14 more than any play ever. It's just so perfect.
James Harden only having 1 play on this list is criminal.
Im saying bruh, the hate is crazy, i wouldve put that game winner on gsw
Yeah, where's his free throw highlights?
@@thetramp123hha are u fucking hater!
Maybe he only has 1 shot in this Top 100, but at least he's got 6 steps! 💪
The ankle breaker on Murray and the crossover on Pat Bev and PG should have been included
Started watching the NBA around 07 ish? It's pretty crazy it's been 25 years since 2000😳🍻🍺
Advance Happy new year nba lovers!
Happy new year 🎆
Almost 12 years later and that Ray Allen shot still hurts deeply. I was a broken man after that series 😂
“We just saw a man fly” where is that??
Watch the video.
Good job , i liked the video. Thanks!
FIVE advertisements.... 4 were forced... And im only 1 minute and 25 seconds into this 33:19 slot. Boy's and Girls Plus whoever else watches sports... Let's get off youtube. Asap!
2 minutes and 45 seconds until the next advert. Guyssssss what are we doing!?!
Buy premium dude
Buy premium
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 UA-cam team!
Rose is walking highlight back in days
That T Mac win still give me goosebumps!
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!!!
Blake Griffin in his prime was a BEAST. Always put on a good show.
Lebron's reign is crazy cause he can still do what he's done here.
RIP Kobe, such a clutch player, always with the hustle.
And damn Steph is just automatic from 3.
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.
This video made me want to watch an NBA game. I haven’t watched an NBA game yet this season. Well played NBA.
What makes curry’s okc shot top 10 but neither of dames are top 10? Dames was to end the series and curry was the regular season lmao yall bugging
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
@@Juutsu hooray.... the three point era... yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay
@@zgillet lmao hate on it all you want but he changed basketball forever, for better or for worse
Curry makes NBA $$$ thats why
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
"I got an appointment with the rim" 😂
Where Is Dwade Dunk Over Anderson Varejao???
Top 59 game winner by JLamb. Kemba Walker gave up on the play. He didn't know the shot went in. LOL
25 years of insanity and tremendous plays. Thank you NBA and happy new year everybody !
“Rebound Bosh back out to Allen his 3 pointer BANGGGG!”
Legendary shot legendary call legendary series truly deserves to be #1!
66 moment. IT WAS SOOOO GOOD THAT THEY GAVE ANT 4 POINTS😮
Paul to Jordan is still my absolute favorite oop.
"Here comes Chris Paul...the lob...THE JAM!"
There's no way they put the Kyrie shot at 6
They love that kawhi shot more for some reason even though Kyrie was in the finals game 7 and his was first round game 7. They should swap places.
@Scubascub22 it was second round game 7
@@Scubascub22there was a minute left after kyries shot
@@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
Should've had the shot, the block, and the stop to win as the #2 play
Mitchell getting his own rebound off the free throw should be in here
Kyrie hit the greatest shot in nba finals history and isn’t top2 is WILD!!!!
Because Ray Allen actually hit the greatest shot in nba finals history ;)
@ too… you….my opinion still what it is
Nah. There was nothing special about it besides the stakes.
@@mattdeaver6850 u know what. Your right. Nothing special. Just a shot to basically clinch game7 but hey… it’s just “ a shot” 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@BigBK718 Google the definition of "stakes" and get back to me lol
This was basketball at its finest 🔥🔥
Davante game winner need to be higher it is the furthest game winner in history
This video really should have been 97 clips of Vince Carter dunking
Where's Rasheed Wallace 3 point game tying shot from half court?
he was not on a team with lbj
The video I did not know I need!!!! 🏀
How is Tatum’s game winner better than CP3 in game 7?!
Pure nostalgia 🎉❤
25:57 the fact that this would be considered a terrible shot today is why the NBA is on life support
It was a bad shot back then too, regardless of ratings.
There is a reason AI is considered one of the most overrated players of all time, but people obsessed with highlights think he was one of the GOATs
Some absolutely great memories in here.
C'mon man Dirk should be higher than 86
Seriously. One of the most iconic Finals ever, Game Winner, Dirk's best play ever and gets 86. smh
The NBA has never respected him.
Having no Wade on Varejao is crazy, but this list was ICONIC nontheless
