We all remember the Bulls moments. What others stick out in your mind?

For me, this is still the craziest thing I have seen in an NBA Playoff game: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NSnAvhvfniw

Kobe's "game-winner", followed by Duncan's "game-winner", finalized by Fischer's game-winner with 0.4 left.

He killed an entire city in 8 seconds.

Not a moment in an actual game, but the Bulls - Knicks NBC intro in '93 is still something I remember:

Reggie Miller's treys against the Knicks were memorable at Madison Square Garden and right in from of Spike Lee to boot. A non-Bulls NBA Playoff moment...The #8 Nuggets upset of the #1 Sonics in 1994, complete with Dikembe Mutombo holding the basketball in celebration. Talk about a classic moment!

Here's not my favorite, but a favorite... remember when Jordan shut his eyes and shot the free throw that time... ok well they did this commercial during the Playoffs, using Tom Petty's Don't Come Around Here No More.. the intro part, and they used that Jordan free throw footage and when he hit it is when the music jumps into the big swell...
Ok it's stupid. But it's not the Pax shot y'know.

Lebron single handedly destroying the Pistons to get the Cavs to the finals.

The Lakers miracle comeback against the Blazers in Game 7.

Paxson's 3.

Van Gundy hanging onto Alonzo Mourning's leg (im pretty sure that was during a playoff brawl).

Some of the most memorable for me in no particular order:

- Charles Smith getting assaulted by the Bulls defense under the basket

- Drexler hoisting up the championship trophy with the Rockets

- Orlando upsetting the Bulls in 1995

- Suns vs. Sonics, Game 7, 1993 Western Finals

- Reggie Lewis' on-court collapse in 1993 against Charlotte (never played again...died 3 months later)

- Vernon Maxwell's NBA Finals heroics

- McGrady "It feels good to get in the second round." :lol:

- Pippen over Ewing



...and many, many more...

1. The Shot vs Cleveland.
2. MJ over Bryon Russell
3. Pax 3.
4. Pip over Ewing
5. Kukoc GW (infamous 1.8 Pip)
6. Horry GW vs Kings



That's just off top of dome.

Was Orlando over the Bulls really an upset?

-The OJ chase cutting off the NBA Finals.
-John Starks 0-whatever in Game 7.

Not really, I guess. At the time though, I just kinda figured Michael Jordan = series win. Jordan was just starting to get into regular season form in the second round of the playoffs.

The game Magic played center for the injured Kareem was a cool game. He was a rookie when they beat Philly. Dude went from point guard to center and still closed out the series.

I wouldn't say that. That was the year that the Bulls had no inside help at all, and why Shaq killed them.

But a memorable playoff moment from that series was MJ tripping at the end of the game vs Nick Anderson, followed by Nick Anderson saying "45 doesn't play as good as 23", followed by MJ coming back the next game wearing 23 and scoring 38 on Anderson.

And Spmack, after Nick said that, goodbye #45 and hello #23...

Well if Pip could get the job done he never would've been necessary.

That's such a lazy argument to make.

Jordan had Pippen.

Pippen had....????????





Thanks.


BTW, even if the Bulls had won the title without Jordan in 1994, he would've been back anyway. It's not like he came back to "save the day" or anything. He came back because he was bored as hell and bad at baseball.

Also, his Nike people helped him to realize that he'd sell more shoes on a basketball court than on a baseball diamond.

Recent randomness. The game Kerr went nuts for the Spurs in the 4th quarter and stole a game from Dallas in 2003.

Also, the NBA on NBC music still sends chills down my spine.

John Tesh's "NBA on NBC" theme...Chilling, but good.

Here you go SHARK. A little snippet of the action with Musberger on PBP. He wasn't quite the asshat at this point in his career.

2008 Finals game 6, Celtics win by 39 points
Kobe Bryant: 22 pts (7-22 shooting), 3 reb, 1 ast, 1 stl, 0 blk.


Jason Terry going off for 27 to finish the Heat, Dirk overcome with emotion and having to go shed some tears in the locker room.


Suns getting screwed out of the 2007 playoffs because Stoudemire and Diaw walked 2 feet off the bench when Robert Horry hip-checked Steve Nash.


That fun Kings team getting screwed in the 2002 conference finals against the Lakers. That series pissed me off even before we found out about Tim Donaghy.
