That's the problem all they have is highlights no low lights. Anyone that says they watched the game back then was lying. They read about it in a newspaper. Internet wasn't around and games weren't really nationally televised. The Utah Jazz had less then 10 nationally televised games

THE REAL AND UNDISPUTED TOP 5 SHOT IN BASKETBALL HISTORY 1. Kyrie vs Warriors G7 - Gave Cleveland title after 52 yr drought 2.

@@hippydougmusic No it's not. This is just an NBA list. NCAA fans have been more passionate about the game until very VERY recently. MJs Georgetown shot was and is better than his shot against Utah no matter how much people dont want to admit it.

This just makes me realize how much better mad dog is at this job than everyone else. He can pick out old shots in nba history because he basically knows the whole history.
The Ray Allen shot, literally had me jumping out of my seat when it went in! Also the Kawhi shot, talk about a heart stopping moment! Yea gotta add those!
Real talk, in ALL MY YEARS (*42 die hard Knick fan since 86’ basketball GURU, etc.) THAT ONE IN PARTICULAR (*considering essentially THAT WAS NOT ONLY THE BEST HEAT TEAM EVER ASSEMBLED BUT ALSO DEBATABLY ONE OF THE TOP NBA TEAMS EVER IN TERMS OF WIN DIFFERENTIAL OFFENSE+DEFENSIVE EXPLOSIVENESS+DOMINANCE, Etc.) I was at Buffalo Wild Wings Naples fl THE PLACE WENT BANANAS that shot… lebron going crazy in the 4th throws the headband, etc. but coming up short & missing his three RAY ALLENS SHOT HAS TO BE TOP 5.
HISTORY OF BASKETBALL? Not insane. Just as easily does NOT make the cut. I can think of 20 immediately. IMO, CASUALS ARE RAMPANT & useless and they simply don’t understand the scope of the HISTORY
Top 5 best shots in nba history 1. MJs last shot in 1998 2. Kobes crossover against Reggie 3. Kawhi's shot against Philly while in Toronto 4. Kyries shot against steph 5. Magic hook
Any list that doesn’t have Ray Allen’s shot at the very least in the top 3 are incredibly biased. Jordan misses that shot they still have game 7. Ray misses that shot and it’s over, go home. The amount of MJ glazing just makes NBA fans seem ridiculous, not to mention it was the most blatant offensive foul you’ll ever see.
@@leramfreeman2950 fair question, just thought it was next-level impressive. From that distance, with a good defender on him, to close a playoff series was pretty tuff.
I love MadDog talking basketball. He knows the history and does not act like the older players barely knew how to play. They were tough and earned their pay unlike today's players. Bareley practice and don't tell me about the all-star game. It's a joke.
Biggest shot of all time was the Jordan 1998 finals shot where he held his hand up as the ball flew through the air. It wasn’t at the buzzer but it doesn’t matter. Watching it live, the goosebumps of watching him hold his follow through as the ball went through the net was other worldly. We knew he was going to retire after that and watching him do it one last time was the most iconic moment in NBA history. People have been holding their follow throughs ever since.
AI shot over Tye Lue, Houston winning a chip from a low playoff seed was also really dope winning the chip, Kawhi G7 v Philly was notorious in jaw dropping.
@@mmmcertified9877 most overrated shot.. it’s only “cool” cause it bounced a couple times before going in. But they weren’t even in a do or die situation. Toronto wasn’t even down. Had Kawhi missed, it would simply go into overtime. Shots like Jordan over Cleveland with 2 seconds left, the Bulls were down and if Jordan missed the Bulls would’ve went home, if he hit it, they move on. He hit it. That was more clutch. Even Jordan’s 98 final shot, the Bulls were down the entire game, then down 3. Jordan hits a shot to bring them to down only 1, then gets a steal the next possession and hits another shot to win the Finals and his 6th ring. That was more clutch. Even Ray Allen’s save in the finals where the Heat were down 3, LeBron misses a 3pter in the last second, Bosh catches the rebound passes to Ray to hit a buzzer beater 3 to tie the game into overtime which won them the game, and eventually the series (had he missed they lose series)
@@libfit9068kawhis shot led to a championship… Jordan’s shot vs the cavs doesn’t mean anything in the grand scheme of things cuz the bulls lost in the ecf to the pistons Jordan’s shot in 98 negates ur argument of the kawhi shot not being that important because if Kawhi missed it would’ve went to OT. If Jordan missed it would’ve just went to game 7… Agree with the Ray Allen shot tho that was back against the wall for a championship
@@Swishemthru We're talking game shot specific and the crucialness of how clutch the specific shot is, not what happens after in the playoffs. There's much less pressure knowing that even if you miss the game isn't over. In terms of clutchness, a shot to tie or take the lead will always beat a shot where you're not even down in points.

Thank you, mad dog for bringing us the rich history of some of the greatest teams, the greatest games and the greatest players this league has ever known to the modern audience who think the NBA got started when Michael Jordan left college. 1:06 History is needed for today’s audiences as well as today’s ESPN sports journalist. Teach on sir.
Let’s notice something that’s happening: 5:32 - they make fun of the history of the game because they are playing against the belief that young people aren’t educated
Curry shot against OKC. It was the 73 win season, unanimous MVP, KD left OKC after that season. Warriors got KD and won 8-1 (4-1& 4-0) in b2b against Lebron (16-1 in 2017, best ever). Curry went on to carry the Warriors as a FMVP to solidify his status as the grandfather of motion offense & spacing that is about making threes. Lebron realized Curry is special, recruits him and Curry made it publicly he wants the same thing that Klay and Draymond had, which is a Gold Medal. Curry then blessed us with a performance of a lifetime playing with KD, Lebron to form a team arguably better than the 1992 Dream Team because basketball is now forever part of American history because not only Curry dropped 60 w/ 17 threes against 3x MVP in Jokic for Serbia, he also took out the prodigy Wembayama for France which USA is still the founder of basketball, world champions. Every alittle adds up to the career of Curry, which will go down as the greatest shooter to ever touch a basketball 🏀.
People in the comments act like the history of the NBA is the last 10 years. Good thing there's at least one person this show that knows sports history when you bring up these topics.
Dennis Johnson layup 1987 ECF Game 5 series 2-2 after Bird steals Isiah inbounds pass dishes to DJ, Celtics were down 1 point with 3 seconds left, Pistons were about to win Game 5 in Boston
Mad Dog down played the Kawhi shot because it was a Toronto Championship. Same on you, it was a great shot and it lead to Toronto's first championship which actually makes it even more significant!!
Curry's 3 over France is top 5 without a doubt. The degree of difficulty on that shot in that high stakes situation. The USA could have lost to France.
Kris Jenkins one is one of the best, but Christian Laettner's game winner seems underrated I guess. And had it gone in, Gordon Hayward's half court heave would've been the best one ever on the collegiate level. And though not a Knicks fan, Larry Johnson's 4-point play is also a mention.
Haven’t even watched and I’m sure we’re getting the greatest shots as recent as 1685 b.c.

Let’s notice something that’s happening: 5:32 - they make fun of the history of the game because they are playing against the belief that young people aren’t educated
Curry shot against OKC. It was the 73 win season, unanimous MVP, KD left OKC after that season. Warriors got KD and won 8-1 (4-1& 4-0) in b2b against Lebron (16-1 in 2017, best ever). Curry went on to carry the Warriors as a FMVP to solidify his status as the grandfather of motion offense & spacing that is about making threes. Lebron realized Curry is special, recruits him and Curry made it publicly he wants the same thing that Klay and Draymond had, which is a Gold Medal. Curry then blessed us with a performance of a lifetime playing with KD, Lebron to form a team arguably better than the 1992 Dream Team because basketball is now forever part of American history because not only Curry dropped 60 w/ 17 threes against 3x MVP in Jokic for Serbia, he also took out the prodigy Wembayama for France which USA is still the founder of basketball, world champions. Every alittle adds up to the career of Curry, which will go down as the greatest shooter to ever touch a basketball 🏀.
Molly be on here comfortable , wearing bathrobes and stuff like she’s waiting on nightcap .
She’s waiting on me
1. Jordan v Cleveland Imo. Just SO iconic.
People in the comments act like the history of the NBA is the last 10 years. Good thing there's at least one person this show that knows sports history when you bring up these topics.
Vinnie Johnson's shot against Portland in game 5 of the 89 finals with .07 seconds left should have made this list
Kawhi vs sixers?
Ray Allen vs spurs?
Dame vs OKC?
The fact that the game 6 Ray Allen 3pt shot isn't there is ridiculous. Literally kept SAS from winning the title
Laettners shot needs to be in there if your counting NCAA!
Dennis Johnson layup 1987 ECF Game 5 series 2-2 after Bird steals Isiah inbounds pass dishes to DJ, Celtics were down 1 point with 3 seconds left, Pistons were about to win Game 5 in Boston
Ron Artest Game 5 2010 WFC against the Suns
Mad Dog down played the Kawhi shot because it was a Toronto Championship. Same on you, it was a great shot and it lead to Toronto's first championship which actually makes it even more significant!!
Curry's 3 over France is top 5 without a doubt. The degree of difficulty on that shot in that high stakes situation. The USA could have lost to France.
😂😂😂
I feel like the Steph Curry OKC half court shot needs to be on this list.
Regular season game…
I love me some Elle Duncan ❤
The Derrick Fisher .4 shot is one of my favorites
Molly getting pissed at mad dog lol 😂
Big shot Bob 3pt Kings Killer 🔥💯🎤
Mad dog with the basketball history !
Christian Laettner vs Kentucky is a must.
That’s a good one👍🏿
1. Laettner's winner 2. Jordan's 98 Finals winner 3. The NC State 1983 winner 4. Jordan's winner vs the Cavs 5. Villanova's 2016 title game winner
Loved it
Irving shot saved queen too 😂
Mad Dog really banks his entire media image on being a 1980's radio host in the modern age.
Ray Allen hit the greatest shot in the history of all basketball. Period.
He didn't. MJ 98
@@jermo1213Ray might be the best regarding the circumstances, they were about to lose the whole thing ... lol
@@jermo1213 But MJ could be right there at #2 ... 3 peat, avoiding gm7, beautiful shot, retiring , end of Bulls dynasty.
Calm down, zoomer
Kris Jenkins one is one of the best, but Christian Laettner's game winner seems underrated I guess.
And had it gone in, Gordon Hayward's half court heave would've been the best one ever on the collegiate level.
And though not a Knicks fan, Larry Johnson's 4-point play is also a mention.
LAYGZ FOR DAYYYYYZ!!
my goodness..
❤😮😊
Everyone needs more mad dog in their life
