"Iguodala to Curry
Curry back to Iguodala
Up for the layup...

OOOHHH BLOCKED BY JAMES!!"

I will never forget this.

[bushynuss]

Ray allens shot is easily number 1, just because jordan/lebron are more famous players doesn't mean their plays were better.

[celticbird]

Top 5 Not on the list:
1. Jerry West 60 foot buzzer beater - Game 3, 1970.
2. Kyrie Irving's game-winner against the Warriors - Game 7, 2016
3. Larry Bird's game-winner over Magic in OT - Game 4, 1984 (amazing game)
4. "John Havlicek steals the ball" - Game 7, 1965.
5. Kareem Abdul-Jabbar sky hook game-winner - Game 6, 1974

The Ray Allen shot and Dr J scoop layup should be higher

[abelign]

Ray Allen's 3 should've been #1. I'm a huge LeBron fan and as much as I'd like to see his block take that spot, it just makes sense that Ray Allen's shot be the top play. That was the most crucial shot out of all these plays; it was the reason the Heat ended up winning the championship and it was a the definition of clutch. You gotta look at the significance of it -- he misses that 3, the Spurs win the championship. He makes it (which he did), and the Heat get another shot in Game 7.

Ray Allen's 3 pointer should have been #1 hands down!

[dookediconti]

I Definately agree w/ MJ's play being No. 1 All-time because FIRST he Stole the Ball on defense, SECOND, he Created his OWN Shot, and THIRD, he MADE the Shot to WIN THE Game AND THE FINALS SERIES. Most Clutch Play in NBA History. That entire Sequence of MJ with the ball is the EPITOME of CLUTCH PLAY.
I agree w/ all these plays at least being in the top 25, b/c there were other Great plays as well.

[Falkon]

That Jordan shot with the pose is the most iconic moment in the history of basketball let alone the playoffs.

[AtodaZ]

That Jordan lay up is one of the most overrated plays ever. It's great and all but is it a top 10 play in NBA Finals history? Nah.

[blackcapone]

The Ray Allen shot gives me the chills, had he missed that shot the Spurs would be sitting here as 6× nba champions, crazy

[chaboiiinico]

Kyrie's iconic shot ? It literally only happened a year ago and you forgot about it

[hannahmotta]

Wait, did they seriously leave Kyrie's three off here??? How did they put lebrick's block on iggy number 2? The media is so biased towards lebron.

[thomaspowers]

I LOVE THE CELTICS AND RAY ALLEN AND HATE THE HEAT BUT EVEN I LOVED THAT MOMENT!!!!

[MrWatchmen]

If ray Allen didn't make the shot than the heat lose the finals that's why his shot is the clutches ever even though I like kyrie more

[adamleon]

Let me guess
#1 will be Lebrons block on Iggy?

[Jam]

You missed Bryant in 2004, Game 2 vs Pistons

[ashhankashif]

How is Ray Allens shot not number 1. Why is LeBrons block ahead of the clutches shot in NBA history?

[kennethzinke]

The first one was Knicks vs Lakers in 1970 and the last one was Bulls vs Jazz in 1998.

[Sheiksmyd]

#4 should be #1 imo. I started screaming when I watched the play. will never forget that game.
