2014 NBA championship, Ginobili block on Harden and Simmons locking down Harden, 2017 Spurs/Warriors series and the utter domination of the Warriors before Zaza gooned Kawhi

Philadelphia 76ers

Joel Embiid shooting his first ever shot. It was a 3 and it missed, and we lost the game against the Thunder, but it was great. Embiid worked Adams and had a chase down block on I think Oladipo near the end of the game that denied Westbrook a triple double. He was one assist away.

[sdot_thadon]

Not my favorite team, but 2016 had to be one of the most satisfying ends to a season I've experienced as a fan. My favorite team the Rockets doesn't have any worthy achievements in that time period but I'll admit it's been highly entertaining watching Harden piss off fans of other teams the last few years.

[coin24]

The flash.. bran exposing his teenie weenie in the finals, we lost Pauk that day, pulled himself into a coma

[PickernRoller]

Jeff getting caught and dancing around hoops to misdirect. There is no going back.

2011 (Dirk), 2013 (double expose for the fraud aka Ray), 2014 (the proper ending), 2018 (how sweep it's), 2019 (Kawhi as the true heir - a lifeline to a broken league).

[ImKobe]

1) Miami Heat
2) Losing to the Mavericks in the 2011 Finals

Houston vs GSW 2018 series
Houston comeback against the clippers (1st 3-1 comeback in recent memory)

[JohnMax]

Kevin Durant dominance in 2017 and 2018 NBA finals is greatest sports moment I have ever witnessed.

Real greatness, not fake greatness that needs teammates to close out games for them i.e. Ray Allen, Kyle Korver (failed attempt), George Hill (failed attempt), etc

Two things I will never forget is the Mavs' 2011 championship and LeBron's 2018 season

[red1]

1. GOAT franchise gets its first ring in 2019
2. ring, ring, ring - it's lebron james
3. dwade gets his 2nd and 3rd ring - 3wade
4. kd achilles injury
5. kobe 60 points retirement one last hurrah

[Turbo Slayer]

2016 lebron, 2019 ring, kobe farewell game to :cheers:

1) Memphis Grizzlies

2011: Z-Bo sticking a 3 in Tim Duncan's face in game 4, first round, with the Grizzlies as the 8th seed. Randolph was just dilated that whole series. Going back and looking at the stats doesn't do it justice...he owned that series and got the Grizz their first ever playoff series win over the 1 seed.

2013: Playoffs revenge against the Clippers. After 2 years of Zach Randolph absolutely bullying the **** out of Blake Griffin (there was so much extracurricular activity it was like people say the '80s were), Chris Paul gets himself ejected in Game 6 for a cheap-ass shot on Marc Gasol. Soon after Z-bo gets ejected with the series clincher in hand. His exit and Tony Allen popping his jersey is priceless.

https://youtu.be/pzrSUcLEqFA

The video is worth watching. Some classic Joey Crawford. I hate Jon Barry as a color guy, but his giggling throughout the crazy end game sequence (Barnes kept thinking he was the one getting ejected) just cracks me up.

dude that was the most stacked team of all time... you could literally replace kd with any star scorer from the past 20 years carter, tmac, kawhi, kobe, dirk even melo...


that was the least impressive stretch in fact...

[baudkarma]

Spurs fan.

2014 Finals vs Heat, especially game 3. I watched the whole thing and I kept thinking "Okay, there's no way they can keep this up. They've got to cool off sometime, or the Heat will figure something out." And I was very happily wrong.
