Trae and Luka watching the shot like they're still kids on the court never gets old

NBA blocks but they go increasingly farther into the stands

Damn I never noticed Gordon stepping in on the free throw in case he missed it

Gordon setting the standard for wholesomeness. I'm gonna put my foot on the floor when my wife is mopping in case she misses a spot, she can blame me.

Just because he’s in here I wanna say that as a Jazz fan, Gordon Hayward was always a gentleman and a scholar for us. Of course hindsight is 20/20 so a lot of people wish we got Paul George but Hayward did everything he could for us and treated us right as well

Russ getting cheered for cleaning the floor reminded me of that one SpongeBob episode 😂

The respect from Kobe to Dirk is beautiful to see. He even said "Tough guy" in the end, amazing sportsmanship there.

People always complain about there not being beef in the NBA anymore (which I still think is untrue, just for the record), but I think a league where most players get along is one to strive for at the end of the day. I absolutely love seeing the mutual respect between players. These are all very special individuals and should recognize each other as such.

it's always so nice to see star players embrace after a game. really shows that the NBA is a family.

3:49 I can’t explain just how much i love that interaction between Don and Jrue, them both smiling and giving each other five and Love jokingly pushing them away like “ arrright cmon now you’re supposed to be opponents no hugs”. The whole thing is so wholesome

4:45 military guy is on his phone and pretends he saw the shot lol

As a new, casual fan. Players like Luka and Trae looking like they're having a blast out there is one of the most enjoyable parts of watching

I swear to god I smiled through out this WHOLE video

I'll always respect Doc for shouting out my GOAT, Dirk🙏🏽

The Dirk / Kobe moment is one of my all-time favorites. Such an awesome moment between two legends.

I think about Steven Adams passing up the open layup to save his defender from falling often. He became one of my favorite players after that. Honorable mention: in a post-game interview this playoffs, someone asked Jokic about losing mvp this season and he said that he thought Embiid should’ve won it - that was a big respect moment

Gordon Hayward a legend for that

Doc with 1 of the classiest moves ever. Making sure Dirk got his flowers in an opposing teams arena.

3:56 Undoubtedly the "passing of the torch" moment right here. Legendary stuff

the vince carter one almost made me cry … an actual legend to everyone on that court

That 4:45 moment Luka and Trae are wholesome🙌🏽 They look like kids playing basketball to see if the shot is good. Just look that their happy faces.

5:12 looks wild and hell 😭😭😭😭

The best edited sports compilation I’ve ever seen. The audio transitions were all perfect and all the replays and everything was super clear and well paced, what a vid

Adams could have easily had an and one layup but he felt making sure Plumlee was okay was more important. That's serious class right there, and from a guy most players are afraid of, no less.

At 3:28 - man, that gets you in the feels and reminds us that Kobe was epic at both the sport and sportsmanship.

damn, russ really working as both a construction worker and janitor at 1:20 you love to see it

A nice ray of warm sunshine in this ever increasing pit of despair known as the internet.

6:41 I remember watching this live. Doc giving it up to Dirk was a super class act

Now this is the king of highlight reel we want to see

Draymond with the “HUG ME BROTHA!” 0:36

Draymond on a sportmanship compilation. Never thought I'd see the day.

Gordon Hayward came out after Kobe’s death and said that he didn’t intentionally step into the lane so that there could be another attempt if he missed. “He got 60 on me and I didn’t give him anything free all night. What happened on the free throw line was not intentional. Kobe would’ve lost respect for me if I gave him something free. That’s what made him so very special.”

I haven't followed basketball closely in years and barely even keep up with the playoffs so I'm certainly not speaking from an informed opinion but this is just a brilliant video - a whole side of the NBA, and of sports, that I think gets too little attention. So much of sports is about tension and so much of sports coverage is about dilating that tension even further and the result is that you rarely see the comradery and community that extends beyond the bounds of a single team. There's a shared and deserved respect amidst sheer competitiveness and that is worth a standing applaud.

Kobe and Dirk. Two legends. Respect all around.

Steven Adam’s is the absolute definition of sportsmanship

Ja being wholesome is so wild after all the media about him. He's made mistakes but he's far from irredeemable, there's this wholesome sportsman Ja that just shows his passion for basketball.

1:35 , "Preciate ya bud" best one for me. haha

bench celebrations but they get increasingly more funny

Its amzing to see people being naturally good people even in the middle of a game, I think deep down were all naturally caring of each other

Thank you for posting this. The Kobe and Dirk moments will always tear up this Mavs fan. #respect #Kobe

5:57 never noticed Randle motioned for Vince to shoot it..that’s dope

Is there any videos with sportsmanship like this? I want to see more. This is beautiful and awesome content for a video.

5:24 That would have been iconic

Kobe to Durk classic 😢

Didnt Hayward specifically say he didnt step over the line for Kobe? Lotta guys prematurely step over the line on free throws.

Big respect to the 🐐 rip KOBE

Your editing is on point, transitions are well done.

I fw this channel. It's the moments of the nba that should be highlighted more

"The fraternity of the NBA, and the reverence for greatness in the NBA, is at a different level than any of the other sports that we watch or cover." - Mike Tirico

Grant really got that batman strength now

the Kobe/Dirk will somehow always be the most memorable for me.

Not going to lie, this is a nice look and different aspect that I believe is good to see. I love the disrespectful dunks and hard competitiveness but this is beautiful as well

This is why I love NBA, always a level of respect

Grew up playing street cricket and this video just brought back all those memories, so cool! 🏏❤️

I could watch this stuff every morning. Just puts me in a good mood.

There's something about seeing the best in the world having fun with the game they love

Dirk was just pure class all the way through.

Never noticed Hayward play thanks for pointing it out.

This is the kind of video I want for every sport ever. Even if I don’t know wtf is happening.

so wholesome..i cant stop smiling..😊😊🧡🧡

More of this 💛

1:51 Seth Rollins Approved 👌

Kobe-Dirk Doc-Dirk Heyworth-Kobe Almost made me bawl my eyes out. Well done, men.

More of this. Everywhere. Nice job OP

these are the moments i love this game, its disapointing when the opposite happens

I think my favorite of these is the Bobby Portis block, because the incredulous look from Bradley Beal is just so great. It's as if to say, "Did you not see the amazing play I made to get that layup?!? How you gonna rob me of that highlight reel!?" My man worked way too hard to get rejected that solidly at the very end.

This should be seen more often

I've seen these sort of compilations before but this one is particularly good because the clips make it very obvious that traveling is going on with various players better than other compilations I've seen. It'd be interesting to know how many such egregious travels have occurred during playoff series' when a missed call by a ref can have negative consequences for the livelihoods of a lot of people.

Need to see more of this stuff in the NBA

draymond being the nice sportsman like guy in those first few clips is wild

This is why we truly love basketball, ain't it?!!

The last one is so subtle that he could have only done it out of principle. He didn't care if anyone noticed.

it is wholesome when you’re so appreciative of the sport you play that when your opponent does a cool move you’re just as excited about it and congratulate them. that’s awesome, kudos to theses professionals!

The last one almost made me cry wow...

The ambassadors really make it feel accessible for everyone. Makes you believe you could be the next big winner! 🌟🏆

Felt so happy watching this

I’m not a sports fan by any means but I still fight back tears whenever I see Kobe’s face. His and Kiki’s loss was a tragedy as well the other passengers that lost their lives, Kobe’s and Kiki’s was felt worldwide.

Chills, in the best way possible!

This was awesome

4:42 that servicemen's reaction tho. 🤯🤯🤯

Sportsmanship is beautiful and so important! ❤️

Gordon himself said he didn’t do it on purpose and that Kobe would have been disappointed in him if he did.

the 2nd one was already so cute the way he caught him lol

That Hayward move at the end, I never caught. As a Lakers fan and Kobe fan, thank you young man

3:32 "Hell of a shot" one of the many reasons Kobe is loved. RIP

Glen 'big baby' davis holding the baby by itself now😁 0:49

That last play i never noticed what Gordon did wow

3:36 this was a great one! 😊

Man I’ve loved this game since I could remember and I’ll love it until I do. Thank you basketball!!

Trae and Lukas moment warmed my heart

Isn’t it amazing how a simple smile can literally avoid a full-on brawl?

I was smiling and laughing like a goofy. This right here is some good dopamine!

crazy how dreymond goes from saving people to throwing punches xDD

Immanuel Quickley says “you were my favorite player” if you read his lips. That’s awesome

i don't even like sports and i have no idea why this was recommended to me, but this made me feel so warm and fuzzy inside 🥺

The Dirk part was crazy. Kudos.

I love watching these so fre*king much!!!

Didnt know about that last bit. Thats pretty cool

Tbis is what I love to see in sports.

Glen Davis was built for that moment 🤣
