I question how Damian Lillard only got one. When he had like 3 major posterizes this season, and a fucking moving contested logo shot which even curry hasn't pulled off along with other logo shots.
Ja's jam was earth shattering, but Doncic with the put back on the purposefully missed free throw with 1 second left to force an overtime while completing an insane comeback on the way to a ridiculous 60-20-10 + game was the number 1 play of the year. Clutch moments are worth more. Or LeBron breaking what seemed like an unbeatable record.
It's just pure and obvious bias the NBA has. The difficulty, importance as a clutch play and addition to the scoreline from the entire game that it adds to all say it should be play of the year without it even being close to anyone with eyes. Honestly the #1 is forgettable compared to #2
So Luka's corner pass was the #4 assist of the season, and Jokic between the legs was the #1 assist of the season, but Jokic's between the leg pass was the #7 play of the season and the Doncic corner pass was the #6 play of the season???
#2 is probably one of the best/most difficult plays I’ve seen. Anyone who has played basketball knows that hitting a free throw like that is insanely hard. And the fact that the same person got the rebound is insane.
the next comnig years of the NBA is going to be very special. Coming from years of just saying "Lets skip to a warriors/cavs final", to seeing all these teams have competition is truly a blessing for NBA fans

@@Desi365 Sengun just had his 2nd season, Jokic missed playoffs in both his first 2 as well. Also the Rockets have been the leagues most dysfunctional team the past 3 seasons. Nobody was winning with this roster. But now they finally have a head coach with experience and not some random first time head coach that has no idea what he’s doing. People will finally notice Sengun this season
@thepastamaster4506 I believe Sengun is a hopeless cause. The problem is in the design, time will not change anything. Should trade him while the illusion lasts and there is value in the trade, imo. He'll never be the thing you hope: a great transformative, original , difference-making player. Like Jokic. It's an illusion. He is fundamentally a poor player that has flashes of talent but is widely ineffective.
People forget that Shaq wasn't just big,he was hella skilled and ridiculously agile for his size. But you get a lot of people who think all he did was run you over and dunk.
Ja has had the number 1 play of the year back to back years now…..last year it was the full court heave from adams to ja as he is falling out of bounds and the quarter is ending and he hits the shot.
The disrespect of Giannis is mind blowing! It makes zero sense that they don’t take advantage of his popularity. Numbers don’t lie, the dude has the 3rd highest selling jersey in the league after LeBron & Steph but the NBA barely features him in their promotional materials. I’ve literally seen NBA’s compilation commercials that have like 12 other stars and they don’t include Giannis (and no, the commercials aren’t for a specific set of games, just generic promotion of the league)! Why? 🤯

He was ridiculously athletic for his size, but he wasn't a guy you gave the ball to on the perimeter when you could let him go down low and just dominate.
Watch out for the Pacers next year. They had about 6 of the highlights on here. They are ready to win if they are fully healthy. They were 4th in the East before Haliburton got hurt
They should just put out a bracket and have fans vote for each play or something cuz once again some plays arent high enough a lot of plays are too low……
You can tell they have these lists kinda wrapped up before the season ends because they didn't include the Kuminga dunk against Portland for the last game of the year. Shit was a top 20 play at worst
seeing PG13's 360 dunk at 97 told me this was gonna be a lot of bs
Exactly, that’s easily top 10 imo. It’s near impossible to execute a 360 dunk as clean as that in a half court set
Morant’s dunk at one was not as impressive as PG’s or Donovan Mitchell’s at 9 or around there. This list is whack for sure
@@dylanchristman4192 your buggin he reached back to his foot to dunk that

It Isn't One Comment It Is Two Comments.
I hate the Suns but that Josh Okogie play (16) is easily top 10 and I’d argue top 5
It was the best play of the season.
I cannot understand why PG13's 360 is not ranked higher... It deserves top 20 so far.
Nah that Gordon dunk was the best one. Get shit on, Phoenix😂
pg up by 1 in the 4th with pl in the lane 360 dunk at 97 is crazy

All those plays from 30th to 1st all are EPIC.
How is the Bol Bol drive/dunk not traveling? I don't really know ball, but that was wild.
Morant and Jokic had the highest number of best plays from that top 100 in my opinion
Aye man, outside of Ja's #1...#22 should've been to number #2 💯 That was ABSURD
It was a great regular season
Paul Georges dunk at 97 should have been WAY higher. Like bruh
Made me think of how the Magic kits are today and have been for a while now
PGs dunk was crazy tho
Glad they were able to fit some highlights in with all the ads in the video. Jesus, every minute there's another ad
Morant and the laser pointer incident is up there in my book
number 97 IS NICE
Real nice
The utah jazz game winner vs golden state was amazing i was there and it was loud lets go jazz
I feel like there’s been more ads than highlights.
I was so excited for that spurs highlight at 89 until the switch got flipped 😂
