That Lebron block came outta absolutely nowhere man, watched it live everyone went nuts.

That Kawhi shot man, still in my opinion the best buzzer beater to happen of all time.
First off a game 7 buzzer beaters are super rare. Let alone be the season the raptors won it all, and the only time ever!
The combo of the suspense of bouncing on the rim, the audience, what the win meant for all of Canada, was absolutely insane.
I think anyone is hard pressed to come up with one other buzzer beater that was more fun to watch, or more important to a team ever.

3:41 The greatest clutch shot ever. Down 3-2 in the series, down 3 with less than a minute left, and backpedaling into the corner (something Ray literally practiced for). I love MJ's final shot as a Bull, I love LeBron's chase down block and Kyrie's 3 to win it all in 2016, but Ray Allen's corner 3 forever lives in my mind and I still can't believe it!

The emotional whiplash as a Blazers fan of getting the Dame shot on OKC immediately followed by “Bryant….to SHAQ!!”

[rotitnhoj]

Man, that shot by Jesus Shuttlesworth, it just does not get any better than that! Less than 8 seconds, SA up 3-2 in the series, down by 3... incredible.

Reggie Miller was probably dizzy as hell after spinning 20 times like that😂😂😂

[shanechipman]

That dame shot on the thunder was just straight disrespectful lmao Paul George still mad about it till this day. 😂

There were a few moments that weren't even mentioned like Dikembe Mutombo when he was on the floor celebrating after beating the Seattle Supersonics (#1) when Denver was ranked #8 in '94 and my personal favorite was when Alonzo Mourning making the gw shot vs Boston in '93 that ended Boston's run from the 80s.

Missing Toni Kukoc’s shot at the buzzer to beat the Knicks. The game where Pippen didn’t go in because he was pouting about the play not being for him.

The Ray Allen shot still gives me goosebumps

Great collection! I notice though most of the clips are from the past 20 years. As I am a middle-aged fan (born in the 1960's) who started following pro hoops (including ABA) from 1975 or 1976, I would like to contribute some suggestions of great NBA playoff moments before 2000. And I actually got to choose up to 50! (Material for a second video?)

Here they are:
1. 1957 Game 7 Finals: St. Louis misses a last second shot in 2nd OT and Celtics win first title under Bill Russell
2. 1962 Game 7 Finals: Score tied with seconds in regulation, but Lakers miss last second shot which would have won title, game goes to OT and Celtics win 5th straight title 3. 1966 Game 7 Finals: Bill Russell scores driving dunk with 1 minute left to put Celtics up by 10, but Lakers storm back and nearly tie it but lose 95-93 4. 1969 Game 4 Finals: Sam Jones beats the buzzer with off-balance shot to give Celtics a one-point victory and tie the series at 2-2 vs. the Lakers 5. 1969 Game 7 Finals: Don Nelson makes a miracle shot (ball bounces off back of rim, bounces way high up, then falls down through basket for 2 points) with time running out and Celtics again beat Lakers in close one for Russell's last title
6. 1970 Game 7 Finals: Injured Willis Reed heroically shows up for game and scores first 2 baskets for Knicks to energize them to victory 7. 1974 Game 6 Finals: Before Kareem's winning basket, John Havlicek of Celtics made an incredible high-arching shot over Kareem's arms to give Celtics a 1-point lead which would have won them the title if not for Kareem's great hook shot which followed 8. 1976 Game 7 Eastern semis: Score tied between Bullets and Cavaliers, seconds left, and a Cavs guard (Frank Synder, I think) scores a layup off a give-and-go play and Cavs win by 2 and Cleveland home crowd storms court 9. 1976 Game 5 Finals: in second overtime of classic triple-overtime thriller, Celtics lead by 3 with less than 20 seconds left, but Suns score two quick baskets to lead by 1; Celtics with 5 seconds left go to John Havlicek who makes at tremendous bank shot to give Boston a 1-point lead with 1 second left; after Jo Jo White makes a technical shot free throw, Celtics are up by 2 with 1 second left, but Suns' Garfield Heard makes a turnaround shot to send game to third overtime. ONE OF GREATEST GAMES IN HISTORY 10. 1977 Game 6 Finals: Erving scores a lot of dunks off Portland defenders, but with seconds left and 76ers behind by two, George McGinnis misses a shot and Portland wins the title and fans storm court (for a sequence from a winning game for Philadelphia, there was also Julius Erving's vicious fastbreak dunk in Dave Cowens' face in Game 7 of the Eastern semis between the 76ers and the defending champion Celtics) 11. 1979 Game 7 Eastern Finals: Bob Dandridge makes a shot to give Bullets a two-point lead with seconds left, and then Elvin Hayes blocks a San Antonio shot and defending champion Bullets win to overcome a 3-1 series deficit versus the Spurs
12. 1980 Game 1 West Finals: Dennis Johnson makes a near half-court shot with less than a second left to lead Sonics to 1-point victory over Milwaukee Bucks 13. 1980 Game 4 Finals: Erving's famous reverse layup to give Philadelphia a 7-point lead as 76ers tie series with Lakers
14. 1980 Game 5 Finals: Jabbar comes back from ankle injury to score 40 points, including a three-point play (slam dunk with a foul on Erving) to give the Lakers the 3-point lead with half a minute left, as Lakers take 3-2 series lead
15. 1980 Game 6 Finals: Rookie Magic Johnson takes place of injured Jabbar at center and scores 42 to bring Lakers the title (TBC)

The collection is incomplete without the "shot Heard round the world". 1976 Finals Celtics vs. Suns...In my opinion, it's the most incredible game to have ever happened in this sport. Miracle after miracle after miracle!

[Ammar]

You know youre getting old when they show those historical clips before the NBA Finals and you remember watching more and more of them live as the years go on.

[frankielu]

Man. Jordan's last steal and shot is definitely a top 5 play of all time. His basketball i.q was off the charts. Anyone can hit a last second lucky shot but the defense.. smh

[savagegamer]

8:24 this is why I fell in love with sports

[jamezason]

Larry Johnson’s four point play against Pacers. The angle from the rafters is a classic playoff image. More so than the casual Embiid dunk down the lane.

[johngar]

The 🐐🐐🐐 multiple times kobe, Mike, bron, they do this 💯💯💯

[sammathey]

The Kawhi buzzer beater, both announcers just yell At the same time. The best

[allygunzz]

the more & more i see that Dame shot vs OKC it dawns on me how insane that shot was 😭😂

[natemcclurg]

When Reggie pushed MJ and hit that 3. It was out of FEAR! 😂
