Top 5 biggest NBA moments/events/story of the 2010s?

Replace Linsanity with 73 wins, the greatest regular season of all time

Unt uhh, unt uhh. Check basketball reference.

2016 spurs: Net Rtg: +11.3 (1st of 30)

2016 warriors: Net Rtg: +10.7 (2nd of 30)

You can't be the greatest team of all time, when you're not even the greatest team in your own regular season.

Kawhi gave Spurs their greatest regular season ever in 2016 and he gave Spurs their only back to back finals. Young Parker\Manu\Duncan never went to back to back finals.

I saved the embarrassment for you anyway, do you really want to be remembered for a season that ended in a game 7 finals of Curry\Klay combining for 31 points on 12\36 shooting?

Still better than Kawhi's 14 points on 6/22

Ray Allen.

The ones mentioned in the OP as well as Kobe's last game. Hell of a performance to go out to.

Heat vs Spurs I- pure basketball genius

Kobe dying - 2020 is in the 2010 decade

Covid affecting the league and the bubble.

The decision.

2016 cavs denying the 73-win warriors from winning a chip

[Gougou]

1. Lebron joining the Heat to form the big 3 (This influenced other players like KD to do ring chasing etc...)
2. Ray Allen shot (Without this shot, it will damage Lebron's legacy so much, and Heat won't be the same team again)
3. 2016 3-1 Cavs comeback (Don't need to explain much on this one, greatest finals comeback ever)
4. Stephen Curry's MVP breakout season (His MVP season was a good one, changed the game completely, then next year turned the Warriors into a 73-9 team)
5. Kobes retirement game (This is the greatest basketball icon of our generation, his last game scoring 60 pts gave us so many memories)

Some other considerations:

KD join warriors (This is just a top 3 player in the league trying to do ring chase...)
Raptors end Warriors dynasty (Majority of the US don't really care about the Raptors and injuries happened a lot during this serie)

2015 harden and rockets overcoming a 1-3 deficit against the clippers during wcsf

[Manny98]

Half of the greatest moments of this decade took place in one year 2016

73 win Warriors
Currys unanimous MVP season
Cavs 3-1 comeback
Kobe's retirement tour
Duncans retirement (67 win Spurs team with the highest recorded SRS)
KGs retirement
Aaron Gordon vs Lavine arguably the GOAT dunk contest

[Airupthere]

How about Barkley with Hakeem and Drexler or Pippen?

How about Boston trading for KG and Ray to create a big 4 with Pierce and Rondo in order to prevent a lone star to make it to the finals.

You mean oldies teaming up vs Lebron calling up prime Wade and Bosh?
