What's The Best NBA Game You've Ever Watched In Your Life?

[Collie]

Game 6 98 Finals. I sort of knew that this was the last game or two of MJ, and the fact that it was such a nailbiter and so close made it even better.

[INDI]

Warriors vs suns

I forgot the year but it was around 97. Mullin and Barkley dropped over 50 for their team. It was unbelievable!!!!


My other favorite games was the Knicks 1999 championship run, every game was amazing and the 4 point play that Larry Johnson did against the spurs, where everyone stood up and made the L symbol should be a top 10 moment in NBA history

Here's my top 3

Spurs vs Pistons game 5 2005 nba finals

Sixers vs Lakers game 1 2001 nba finals

Mavericks vs Heat game 2 2011 nba finals

[Droid101]

Spurs vs rockets when tmac scored 13 points in 35seconds

I saw 13 in 35 live as well. It was great.

The game leading up to it was shit but that part was so awesome.

Regular Season?

Orlando/GS of last year (I believe) in recent memory.

Seattle/Suns same night as Kobe's 81. (Epic night of ball).


For Playoffs:
'04 Kings v Wolves - I believe it was game 5? It went into OT. Bibby and Stojakovic were on fire from 3 and brought the Kings back from a huge deficit to send it into OT. KG ended up winning the game in OT.

December 6th, 2000. Lakers at Golden State.

Kobe and Jamison both scored 51 points in a double overtime game. 125-122, GSW wins.

Loved watching that game live.

(Kobe just scored 51 a few games earlier so it was extra exciting to see him go off.)

Best game I've ever personally been to was the Lakers-Suns triple overtime game on 3/22/2011.

I was at the park paying basketball and I got a text from an old high school buddy. He had a couple extra tickets to the game. Best thing, tickets were for one of those private box seats. He only wanted $100 for it and I easily said yes. I got home as fast as I could and got ready while he picked me up.

It turned out to be a really exciting triple overtime game.

Nash with 20 assists.
Kobe almost had a triple double. 42, 12, 9
Gasol was still the best PF in the league at the time
I think this was the year Odom won 6th MoTY.

I will always remember the 3pt shot that Metta took in the first OT. When he got the ball and squared up for the shot the entire arena went "NO!". lol. And then he MADE it. He also had a nice dunk in the 3rd OT and then kissed his arms while the crowd went NUTS.


Here are highlights from that game:

Have say the greatest one I've seen live was the 13 pts in 30 seconds by Tmac just because half the arena left and we were all like

Game 4, 1984 NBA finals. Wished I could have seen that live, good enough on tape.

One I recall as good and really crazy was the truth going for 46(?) in the second half, pretty nuts.

[zizozain]

one of the best

Lakers at Pacers, Game 4 NBA Finals, 2000

Lakers 120, Pacers 118

Kobe Bryant and Shaquille O'Neal took their turns dominating as the Lakers took a 3-1 series lead. With Bryant still hobbled by his ankle injury, O'Neal took charge early until foul trouble put both him and Bryant on the bench late in the first half. The game remained close until the fourth quarter, when O'Neal and Reggie Miller each willed their teams into overtime. In the extra session, Bryant took over, scoring six of the Lakers' last eight points to lead them to victory.

O'Neal finished with 36 points and 21 rebounds before fouling out with 2:33 left in the overtime period. Bryant had 28 points, 22 of which came after halftime. Robert Horry added 17 points off the bench for the Lakers, including the first four of overtime.

Miller scored 35 points for the game, including 13 in the fourth quarter. Miller made all three of his 3-point attempts in the fourth quarter. Rik Smits added 24 points in just 22 minutes of action, and combined with Miller to account for all of the Pacers' points in overtime.

When the NBA ranked the 60 Greatest Playoff Moments in conjunction with the league's 60th anniversary, Bryant's performance ranked No. 58 on the list.

I've never been more engaged in a game than game 7 of the NBA finals in 2010.

2010 and 2011 were incredible series. The Thunder last year
