All the ones that led to titles, and in all cases, without these shots, they likely don't win.
Lakers 2002 down 1-3 (No Chance)
Spurs 2005 down 2-3 (Small Chance)
Lakers 2009 tied 2-2 with G5 in Orlando (Up for grabs)
Lakers 2010 G5 OT at Home (Up for grabs, again)
Mavericks 2011 down 0-2 (IMO over)
2013 Heat down 0-1, but as we know they lost G2, although different Situation. (Up for grabs)
2013 Heat LOSE 2-4

Technically without Dirk's 2011 shot they'd still be tied but the Mavs needed all his shots anyway.
I'd add Dirk's game tying and 1 vs SAS from 06 and the .4 shot from Fisher. Without those shots Mavs lose the series and Lakers have to play a Game 7 in San Antonio. At least with Artest's shot in 2010 it's still tied and they go to OT. Also, with 2013 Miami it was Game 1 so still early in the series - all the others are either late in the series or prevented a huge series lead.

True, but I didn't add them because ultimately they didn't become Champins, but lost in the Finals...
In Dirk's case though, I feel he was robbed, so he can be up there, too.
HUGE shot.

Ah okay. For what's it worth I think the 06 Spurs would've won vs Miami - no way Wade goes off like that against Bowen and Duncan at the rim.
04 Spurs might've beaten Detroit too.

Someone check the stats but I think Kobe made more than five shots. Not sure though, I know he usually misses.

Re: 5 most important shots since the Jordan era
I forget how hard Derek Fisher and Robert Horry carried Kobe.
