Best Playoff games for each all time great

[The_Pharcyde]

MJ: so many to choose from... i think you have to go with Game 6 against the Jazz... i promise if that an ending was from a movie i would call it unrealistic... the best

Lebron: I think you can only go 2 different ways with this one, maybe 3.. I think the two heavyweights are game 6 vs the celtics or game 5 vs the pistons, maybe game 7 in 2013
I go with the game 6.. his whole legacy was on the line after 2011 debacle and 2010 against the celtics.. I have never seen him more locked in, boston had no chance, he could not miss and had a few highlight real plays. 2007, he really had nothing to lose.. yeah it was great that he did that but had he lost that series not many would have held it against him, the pressure was exponentially higher in 2012.

Kobe: he really doesnt have a ton of standout movie like performances... although unpopular, I love his game 7 performance against the celtics.. the game was a grind it out affair for everyone on the floor, every bucket was at a high premium and he gutted it out and refused to lose again to boston, the suns buzzer beaters game is there too

Isiah: I think forsure game 6 against the lakers when he rolled his ankle and completely went off, even though they lost on some BS it was still beyond amazing



just a few off the top of my head, name some other players and what you think is their respective best or chance some of the others i listed.

Russell: 30 points 40 rebounds

Isiah ankle game
Jordan g6, clutchest game ever, and the best nba performance of all time

Bron g7, Boston sucked in 11, and the series was rigged
Russell 30-40
Dirk 50 points on less shots than you have fingers.
Stockton 24-23, had a hand in 71-73 points of the 109 Utah scored in the game.

Duncan 21-20-10-8 game in the finals
Cousy 50 points in 66 minutes, 30-32 from the line, original hardon

Magic 42-15-7 as a center

I saw that lebron vs boston game 6, and it was one of the most frustrating experience as a C fan.. He was hitting everything from everywhere.. Basically he single handedly destroyed all the effort from the celtics. It was like, LeBron > Our big 3-4 from that on.

Dirk: Game 7 on road against Spurs (with game tying play to send it to OT) or the game against the Thunder (most efficient game in playoff history)

Dirk Nowitzki: Game 1, WCF, 2011 (on route to winning the Finals that year) vs OKC................he had 48 points on 15 shots...he couldn't miss...this is one of the few sports games where i remember specifically where I was when I watched it... http://www.basketball-reference.com/...105170DAL.html

Yea...crazy performance.

His 37/15/3 68% TS game tying play...win over the Spurs in game 7 on the road back in 06 might trump that though. Given the stakes...going against the Spurs at the height of their powers...that was incredible.

Game 6 of the 2012 Ecf I assume?

45 points 15 rebounds 5 assists on 73%fg while holding Pierce to 4-18 shooting

Games like this made sure that no game 7 was needed.

yes.. also that was the REAL WCF. Against a team that was a Fisher 0.4 shot away from just coming off a 3-peat... wow.

He had another epic one against the Nuggets in 2009, the stakes of game 4 would have been higher, making it a better game, if the refs didnt mess up game 3.
