I love how it gets almost completely quiet so you can hear the bounce on Kawhi's shot.

Equally iconic are some of the lines delivered during the plays. Gives me goosebumps.

The reaction after Kawhi leonard's shot and the wait after he bounces off the basket makes the moment immortal

the one where mcgrady hits the 3 against the spurs needs backstory to be a iconic moment. 13 points in 30 seconds. Incredible comeback

Seeing Jordan on the court still brings goosebumps... Watching him play was a huge part of an entire decade of my life.

“LeBron James with no regard for human life!” Such an iconic line 😭😭

The fact that a defensive play made it over anything in 2016 is insane. That block was beautiful

McGrady scored 13 points in 33 seconds including the 3 game winner. They were down like 9 pts. As much as I love MJ and Kobe, McGrady's performance in that 33 seconds vs the Spurs is the best I've seen.

It was either Lillard's Buzzer Beater to sent the OKC to a rebuild or Leonard's Buzzer that not only gave them a shot at the Finals but also started the Decline of The Process

I’d actually argue that “Shot blocked by Antetokounmpo! What a block from Giannis!” Is the more iconic play… but then again it’s unbelievable that Giannis had two iconic plays in the finals (with some help from Jrue on that last one, give the man his credit).

Kemp was a BEAST. Back in the day watching the Sonics seemed like every game there was a dunk like that... but watching this I gotta give it to Pippen. That dunk on Ewing was BRUTAL.

Jordan switching hands while jumping was from another planet. Also you should have included the Dream shake by Hskeem and Ginobili's clutch block on Harden.

"Ohhh blocked by James!" Always gives me the chills

The one with Kawhi in 2019 has to be one of the best plays of all time

I still remember when Jordan did the hand switch in mid air against the lakers during the finals. My dad was a lakers fan and I was a Jordan fan. When the play happened, we both were kind of left scratching our head. Wtf did he do??? We had to watch it on replay to figure it out. I still remember Tom Brokaw, of all people, saying at the end of delivering the news that day that, “I’ve never seen someone score a basket that way!” Hahaha

Nah, most iconic moment of 2011's gotta be Dirk's game-winning left-hander to complete the Game 2 comeback vs. Miami.

2018 has to be JR Smith forgetting the clock in Game 1

My Dad was a Knicks fan. The John Starks dunk changed my life as a boy. The electricity in the Bulls-Knicks playoffs series was amazing.

OMG how time flies, Iverson stepped over Lue about 20 years ago! 😳

Switch hands in mid air, Iconic! A spectacular move by Michael Jordaaan!!!

That photo of D.wade"s allyoop to LeBron is one of the best sports photographs I've ever seen ...Brilliant capture 👍

honorable mention, 2011 : melo clutch vs bulls 2010 : artest clutch vs celtics 1998 : stockton buzzer beater vs rockets 1995 : hakeem dream shake vs spurs

Seeing Kobe fade away gives me goosebumps and makes me tear up ❤️

No matter what happens with my Raptors for the rest of their existence, nobody can take that shot or that Championship away from us. I remember being in my living room with about 8-10 of my close friends. We were cheering loud the whole game but when that ball went up everything was dead quiet. We watched it bounce on the rim and the second it went down we went absolutely nuts! I'll never forget that day, it was a special moment for us Raptors fans.

Kawhi Hit a dagger against the 76ers is one of my favorite moments

2016 has some of the most iconic plays in NBA history, that's why 2015-2016 is the greatest NBA regular season ever.

Shawn Kemp was a Beast when he was in prime.

That Kemp dunk gets me every time. Might be the GOAT dunk.

The more years went down in this clip, the more goosebumps took over me.. NBA 90's was the best for me and I can't do anything about it

I'd say Nowitzki tying up Game 7 to go into overtime against the Spurs in 2006 was more iconic and made Nowitizki the legend he is.

Tmac's moment is hands down the best moment in nba history. Down by 10 with less than a minute left and people already leaving. Then tmac erupts like no player has ever done before and drops 13 points in the last 30 seconds! Even scoring the game winning buzzer beater fir the game. He may not be one of the greatest player of all time, but in that 30 seconds, he was greater than any player that has ever lived!

Iverson was a true Icon and played with more heart than anybody. I knew those two plays would make the list.

Man, I was hoping to see some iconic 80s moments... Bird's steal, etc. Great to see the GOAT

Mj's buzzer beater over russell in game 1 of the finals is more iconic than the dikembe poster in 97. Plus, ai's crossover also happened in the same season. When i think about the 96 season, i always picture mj hugging the ball after winning the championship against the sonics. Not a basketball play i know but iconic.

As a Spurs fan, while I’m definitely happy about the success we’ve had over the years, it kinda dawned on me how often we’ve been on the receiving end of big moments: TMac’s 13 in 33 Fisher’s 0.4 seconds shot (although I think they started the clock late - even Fisher admits it - but at the same time, it’s been 17 years so not like we can change it) Allen’s 3 Howard’s alley-oop game winner

Buckle up for Kobe Bryant!!!🙏🏾❤️ It's crazy how the further back time we went, the more increasingly iconic the clips got.

The last highlight. Jordan was alone in the air nobody even close to blocking him. But he still switch hands anyway. Why? because he is Jordan.🤷‍♂️

Hakeem's dreamshake on Robinson was easily the most iconic play of 95.

4:14 "Lebron James with no regard for human right" greatest play call in the vid

The suspense in kawhi shot takes the cake. It's truly memorable

2016 has like a good 5 or 6 iconic moments I can think of, off my head

9:17 Kemp was a beast

Michael Jordan 1998 as a basketball fan you just cant not get chills watching that

that kobe moment from 2007 brought tears to my eyes man

0:39 AD Just sent that guy to the floor 😂😂😂

this is why we love the nba

Thank you for posting this clip, Please never delete it off UKposts

@3:45 In my opinion, THEE most baller photo in basketball. The confidence Dwayne had in LeBron after the pass to pull this pose😭👌 So much props to that photographer🙌🙌🙌

8:59 it’s amazing how young Spike Lee looked 😂

doncic gme winner is more iconic than ads!

6:35 Damn good video quality for 2001

7:52 Luc Longley is actually the star of this play. What a great assist.

The 2005 play is memorable due of: Comeback, Tracy McGrady scored 13 in 33 SECONDS to win the game Against Spurs that had Tony Parker, Ginobli, Tim Duncan With the exception of one point, all 13 points were 3pts. ( 3 + foul play)

3:03 Arguably the greatest dunk ever. (Except the DeAndre on Brandon Knight lob and Dunk of Death)

Great video. So many legendary moments in here

Shawn Kemp was a monster! Nobody compares

Started playing ball 32 years ago and strangely every one of these is still so fresh in my mind.

I love how Kevin Garnett is pretty much in every highlight except he's the one on the receiving end!

There were so many great battles in the 90's with great moments that Jordan's okie doke baseline dunk on Oakley & Ewing didn't even make it. I miss those Eastern battles from that era. Celtics, Cavs & Pistons early.... then Bulls, Pacers, Heat, Magic, Knicks, Hornets, even Hawks, Bullets and the Nets were dangerous when Petrovic was around. No nights off in the East hardly in that era.

Picked some great plays here, nice work 😎👍

Wade went from stepping over lebron's team mate to be lebron's team mate

Dwyane Wade is the Player that I know we‘ll forget to mention when talking about the greatest Shooting Guards ever and will become underappreciated because he already is.

Notice how Mike Breen was in several of these clips and made them more hype too. GOAT commentator.

Shawn Kemp’s dunk was insane!

That Luka Shot Vs The clippers is definitely more memorable

The thumbnail has MJ's reaction after his famous shot vs. the Cavs, which was in 1989, not 1991

You could argue about this play or that play being MOST iconic but this is a really impressive list of plays.....captures much of NBA history last 30 years.

9:17 “POWER SLAM, TOMAHAWK JAM! YEAHHHH BABY!” is such an underrated call

I remember watching the Reggie Miller comeback game live. One of the craziest endings ever

Kawhi and the Raptors was amazing!!!

Great video! Nostalgic moments!

4:56 "Bryant for the win...BANG"

2021: Giannis recovery block on Aton was better than Giannis/Holiday alley-oop.

8:42 Man that’s just SSick!!!

Love your videos. Always great productions. That said, would you consider doing them oldest to newest?

Kawhi’s and Dame’s series ending shots both deserve their spotlight man. Dame waving good bye is the coldest shit I’ve ever witnessed in any sport

So many in a row have lakers as one of the teams

I love the shiny jerseys the heat wore in 2009

The quality of the 2001 footage is way better than I assumed possible

Cleanup on aisle 3! Cleanup on aisle 3! That's amazing

"OH BLOCK BY JAMES"

‘The shot’ is the most iconic

That Kawhi is probably the best iconic NBA buzzer beating moment ever. It’s impossible to beat that.

The Giannis oop gets my vote, particularly in the context of the nba finals. A great collection here.

The fact Dirk's one legged fade wasn't it for 2011 is a travesty of justice.

2001 looks so crisp it could've been recorded yesterday.

Pippen’s poster on Ewing plus telling Spike Lee “sit your ass down” will forever be top 2 coldest plays in NBA history

2:50 the guy in the back goes like ⬆️⬇️⬆️⬇️⬆️⬇️

1993 - John Starks' dunk is more iconic than John Paxson's 3 pointer to win the NBA Finals? 🤔

Kobe.. We will always love you 💕

Kawhi’s shot gives me goosebumps every single time I watch it😩

8:06 Iverson is lucky only NBA is included, because the most iconic shot of 1996 was Jordan stretching his arm to incredible lengths, while two giants were literally hanging on him.

That Kahwi Clutch is a jordan level moment and the last clip of MJ none can copy dat.

I understand they can't all be Jordan, but the shrug was easily the most iconic play of 1992.

MJ's buzzer beater at 1st game of final during 96-97 against Utah was great, too

D-Rose is one of the best players to ever step on the court. Man, do I miss the 90’s early 2000’s basketball.

Bruh Jordan did not need to reverse that layup at the end

2011 has to be when Dirk went by Bosh to close out the game on the way to upsetting the Heat. Nobody saw that coming.
