Re: Besides MJ, Your top 5 or 10 moments from your favorite player(s)
Good post. As a Suns fan here are some of mine, but I've also included some from other teams:
- The triple OT Suns victory against the Bulls in the 93 finals, specially when Barkley stole the ball from Pippen in the 3rd overtime.
- Kevin Johnson dunking on Hakeem Olajuwon during the playoffs. I screamed so hard my cat ended up on top of the furniture all puffed up.
- Reggie Miller solo comeback against the Knicks damn in was it 12 secs? Awesome.
- The Nuggets elimating the #1 Sonics after being down 2-0 in a best of 5.
- Amare Stoudemire averaging close to 40 pts in a playoff series against Duncan. The old Amare.
- Steve Nash scoring 48 pts against the Mavs in a playoff game, even though they lost.
- Suns destroying the Lakers in game 7 in 2006, the best Suns game they've ever played. Nash was throwing half-court alley oops to Shawn Marion.
- LeBron scoring 25 straight against the Pistons in 2007
- Last night game 5, LeBron and Wade went into SSJ mode and destroyed the Bulls in the final minutes.

I'm going to make it for Vince Carter:
Vince Carter
On to the Next One: Vinsanity lit up the Milwaukee Bucks' defense in 2000 with an amazing shooting performance. Make the Milwaukee crowd hate you by scoring at least 47 points on 60+% shooting.
Don't Let 'Em Do You Like That!: After Allen Iverson dropped 50 on the Raptors, VC had to prove he can dominate just as easily. Score at least 50 points.
Falling through the Nets: With a monstrous line-up, the Miami Heat seemed like an unstoppable force. A rising superstar in Dwyane Wade guarded VC for the majority of the night, but to no avail. Score 51+ points on the Miami Heat defense.
Feel the Stings: The Hornets never knew what was coming for them. While playing for the Orlando Magic, VC made the Orlando crowd believe there's still hope for another Vinsanity sighting. Score at least 48 points on 70+% shooting and grab 7+ boards.
Bright Side of the Sun: Towards the ending years of his career, Vince Carter played for the Phoenix Suns. In one of his best performances of all-time as an NBA athlete, Vince Carter torched up the Washington Wizard's defense relentlessly. Score at least 48 pts, make seven 3-pters, grab 16+ rebounds, and dish out 10+ assists.

Hell, I'll make one for Kobe Bryant, too, before someone else does.
Kobe Bryant:
- 81 point game and win
- Tie (or beat) the record for most 3-pters made in a single game
- 62 pts in 3 quarters vs. Mavericks and win
- Play a best of 7 series against Boston and win
- 52 pts in 3 quarters vs Utah, can't miss any shots in the 3rd quarter
- Light up Madison Square Garden with 61 pts and win
- Play 4 consecutive games, score 50+ in each one
- Play a best-of-seven series against a tough Phoenix Suns squad, win at least 3 games
- Silence the Sacramento Kings' crowd with a triple double; score 30+ pts, grab 10+ reb, and dish 12+ asts
- Send Michael Jordan out with a star studded performance; hold him to 23 pts, score at least 55
