Since 2001, can you think of any other 7 game series more entertaining than......

[PWB15]

76ers/Raptors(2001)?

This series had everything

1. Two Mega Stars-A.I/Vince

2. Beef between Oakley/Tyrone Hill-Gambling Debt

3. Two 50 pt performances in same series

4. Mutumbo vs Antonio Davis

5. Raptors with a chance to win at the Buzzer in Game 7



Is there a more entertaining series than this since 2001?

[Eye Test]

I can think about 20, maybe more.

[francesco totti]

Love that series, Raptors - Sixers. Always a diehard Iverson fan here.
But it was more about AI VS Carter. Exchanging 50 point games.Great Individual performances live in the memories of fans, more so then great team performances.I think you could have found better 7 game series in terms of team performances IMO.

It's up there but I like the following as well to be at least on the same level:

02 Kings/Lakers
06 Mavs/Spurs
09 Bulls/Celtics
10 Lakers/Celtics
12 Heat/Celtics
13 Heat/Spurs

[Black Magic]

if you take away the fact that its in the first round, the 09 Bulls/Celtics series is the best i've ever watched

From that list, 02 Kings/Lakers is all that stands out

[ballinhun8]

09 Bulls/Celts was voted the best series of the 2000s.


Four games decided in OT. One regulation game that went down to the wore and had a Ray Allen GW 3 over Noah's outstretched hand. A 3OT game, and 2OT game, and the other two single OT games.

it was the series that made Rose a household name. dude was a stonecold killer in that series against an all-time great celtics team

[L.Kizzle]

06 Cavs/Wiz was really entertaining. I think game 2 was the only game not decided by one basket.

[Fire Colangelo]

All time great Celtics team without their best and most impactful player.

[Black Magic]

that block on rondo was epic. and the noah dunk and-1

"all-time great"
I don't think those words mean what you think they mean. They won only one title, and that was against a team in the finals missing its starting center and starting small forward.

[inclinerator]

spurs and heat 2013

lakers beat the celtics in game 7 without the celtics starting center and with sheed in foul trouble due to not having perk on the team. could go both ways

[LoneyROY7]

Clippers-Spurs.

[PWB15]

06 Cavs/Wiz was really entertaining. I think game 2 was the only game not decided by one basket.


There was no player on the wizards on the star level of A.I, Vince and Lebron so this is a bad example

[Bankaii]

One of my favorite AI series. Dude was relentless.
It really showed me that VC was a legit scorer and not just a great dunker with hops.
I just rewatched that series a year or so ago funny enough.

[FKAri]

That was also one of my fav series.

2011 Lakers/Mavs and Heat/Mavs were also highly entertaining for me
Dirk flipping his legacy and Kobe/Lebron fans in tears :lol
Premium schadenfreude

[rmt]

06 Spurs-Mavs is still my favorite series - even with the disappointing end.

[Terahite]

Clippers-Spurs.

I was thinking that too Game 7 was an all-time great

[guy]

if you take away the fact that its in the first round, the 09 Bulls/Celtics series is the best i've ever watched

If it was conference Finals or Finals and had some bigger names in there like a Kobe or Lebron, and no one would argue against it being the best series ever. It was that competitive and great basketball.

i don't think i've ever been as entertained by a series as this one. i remember gordon beasting.

[choppermagic]

2010 Lakers-Celtics easily

Two marquee franchises and rivals go at it. Big stars all around in it. History with the 2008 Finals. And it was an absolute gritty battle the entire series.

Brought back memories of the golden era 80s,.

[SexSymbol]

09 bulls celtics.
10 lakers celtics

[qrich]

Clippers-Spurs.

Yup.

The ones with Memphis and Golden State are right there too.

[rapker]

what about MIN - LAL series back in 04?

KG, Cassell, and Sprewell v.s. Kobe, Shaq, Payton and Malone.

That series was nasty.

That was another great one. Just insane.

[Laker19]

Def 09 bulls Celtics. I just brought that series up to a friend. He missed out.

Spurs suns 2007 was good. Robert horry hip check Lol.

Lakers vs nuggets 2009.
Clippers vsGrizzlies.


Lakers vs Celtics 2010

what was entertaining about Lakers/Celtics 2010?

[CuterThanRubio]

06 Suns/Lakers

06 Suns/Clippers

[kwajo]

The epic Blazers/Lakers and Kings/Lakers series in the early 2000s

[eliteballer]

Just off the top of my head the Spurs-Heat 2013 Finals blows that series out of the water.

[PWB15]

The epic Blazers/Lakers and Kings/Lakers series in the early 2000s


Yes those three series

2002-kings/lakers
2001-raptors/sixers
2000-blazers/lakers

[L.Kizzle]

There was no player on the wizards on the star level of A.I, Vince and Lebron so this is a bad example
Arenas was an emerging star and matched LeBron that whole series.
