It’s amazing what has happened in 1/3 of the leagues history. So many dynasties, incredible athletes and shooters, crazy trades, records broken, playoff rivalries, and change of play styles in the league. And the wizards have stayed mid through all of it. Incredible
Notable snubs include Nate Robinson with the chasedown block on Lebron, Steven Adams missing a second free-throw to get a fast rebound and sending it straight back to Westbrook for the game-winner, and Jeremy Lin waving away Kobe to make a 3 on his own.

Not a “play”. Generally I consider a play as 3 box score entries or less (case where it’s 3: missed FT, rebound, putback that should count). There may be a few additional clips in the video that aren’t plays by this definition as well

0:12 This is a personal favorite in recent years, like how Shai just chucks the ball from like 10 feet behind the arc and it swishes in, and then Devonte hits the farthest game winner ever, it's gonna be a classic in a few years.
OMG THANK U bro hoooly SHIT! like that dunk on gobert should’ve been on on here & above some of those “dunks” which are literally throw ins from Blake griffin! Shit is craaaaaazy
30 years a cavs fan as a kid it was truly something special to watch what Lebron did. I try to tell my son. but you just really had to see it happening. Go Cavs
That's a big shot for Kawhi. However, you need to know if Kawhi miss that shot, they still get a chance to win in OT. On the other hand, Spurs lead 3-2 and with a 3 points lead in Game 6 final. If Allen miss that shot, heat will not have the 2013 NBA champion. That why Allen should be #1.
LeBron’s block wasn’t just good because it was a block, it’s because all momentum from splitter running to the basket and winding up for a dunk was stopped from LeBron going strait up and splitter couldn’t move past that
Y'all will do everything to discredit LeBron 🤣🤣 LeBron's block on Splitter was something else. LeBron literally blocked the dunk attempt of a 7 footer that had lots of momentum with just one arm.
@ the shot most likely would have missed, and if not, the heat still would probably win. It wasn’t a better block, but it for sure was a more important one.
Damn Kobe really left his mark. Mentality, rings, records, and highlights. #16 (his behind the back to a reverse dunk will always be one of my favorite plays EVER)
Spurs only having two plays in here (Horry’s three vs. Detroit should be WAY higher than #61 btw) and being on the receiving end of like a million other ones is really annoying tbh. Where’s Ginobili’s block on Harden or his dunk on Bosh? Come on NBA.
Ginobili's game winner vs Denver and him drawing a charge on Melo to win the same game was also another crazy play Theres also one where he intentionally misses a free throw, gets the rebound and scores a three.
Crazy not a single Linsanity play, game winners, crossovers, huge dunks, just crazy, at least 3 top 30 plays, if not top 10 with the game winner against Toronto smh 😂
I have no idea how you really measure a top 100 like this, but it succeeds in fulfilling my “is this a good play test” in that my eyes bulge out of my head on every single one. Well done, NBA RUclips team!
I read the coments Like HOW people dare taking shot at #1 ? This Allen shot is arguably the biggest shot in NBA history. We are in the finals. Miami is down 3-2 on the series. Spurs lead by 3 with less than 10 seconds remainings. Look at courtside, there is already the personel for the trophy protocol Allen miss that shot, the Spurs are champions and no back2back for the Heat. Kawhi miss that shot, it is overtime + it is just the second round LeBron miss the block, they are down 2 with more than 1 minute remaining Kyrie miss his shot, it is still 89 - 89 Allen is clearly #1. And if they make a top 100 plays in history, for me, it is easily in the top3 of biggest play of the history of NBA
Man, Knicks got shafted in this countdown. One highlight? No Crawford game winner in Denver? No Lin game winner against the Raptors? No Anthony clutch 3s against the Bulls? No DiVincenzo shot at the end of game 2 against the Sixers? No Nate Robinson block on Yao Ming? Also, T-Mac too low. Putting that clutch performance behind a (great) DeAndre Jordan dunk is criminal.
I would personally swipe 3 with 1, simply because that shot has suspense, and also it led to the eventual championship of the team. That one fateful shot.
So happy to see rays shot at 1. Such a legacy defying moment for so many players and teams I don’t think people understand no other shot in history had that much weight on it!!!
I think MJ's snatch/block/steal is ranked too low. It is definitely worth being a top 20 play. MJ embarrassed Ron Mercer who was more than 10 years younger than he was at the time as a 40 year old.
As someone from Toronto watching that moment and game live on the edge of my seat, to see it go down as much a crucial and gigantic moment in NBA history is unbelievable, hell its even the thumbnail lol
@@Scubascub22 The biggest problem is putting it 4 places behind lebron’s block, these two plays happened in the same game and were equally as important

1. It was the first mike breen double bang call ever 2. That shot defined the future of NBA basketball and solidified that we have indeed entered the 3 point era 3. The game also pretty much sealed their 73-9 season 4. The shots from dame are legendary but neither led to further post season success
they even put dame's shots in wrong order - dont expect too much - rockets game they were behind and if they lost they had to play game 7 on the road / thunder game they were tied and it was just game 5 so they would have OT and 2 more games to finish it off - but NBA interns do not understand such stuff
It was a bad shot back then too, regardless of ratings. There is a reason AI is considered one of the most overrated players of all time, but people obsessed with highlights think he was one of the GOATs

@@Triads297That was actually in
I thought the one against the grizzlies would have been in surely
28th place- final score 69:67 😳 players really knew how to defend!
Chris Bosh's block in the corner in the finals should've made this list. Especially better than James block on the spurs.
LeBron’s block wasn’t just good because it was a block, it’s because all momentum from splitter running to the basket and winding up for a dunk was stopped from LeBron going strait up and splitter couldn’t move past that
