Man, the 2021 NBA finals was always special for me because it was the last finals I watched with my pops before he passed away. We always watched the finals together ever since the one where Lebron won it in Miami, but i never expected this one to be the last. RIP dad
As a Golden State Warriors fan, this is still touching even 6 months after the title and through all the struggles we have experienced this season so far.
That whole run was insane. The Mavs were destined in 2011. Swept the Lakers in the second round and beat the Thunder with Westbrook Harden and Durant and then beat the Heat with James Wade and Bosh. That run was one of the greatest runs of all time
That Michael game winning crossover + ankle breaker hits really hard,wasn't only a physical damage,but a brutal emotional damage as well to the fallen player
@@KingoftheLions-z87I despise the Lakers but that was theirs that year.. Denver was worn out, but also young and still coming up. It was a neutral ground, no home advantage in any way, just basically a professional game of pickup at a rec center. It’s still a solid championship win imo
2010 was the first finals I watched. I was only 9 and I saw Kobe do it. 2015 is special i was going into high school and the first time I really wanted a team to win. Thank you Steph. 2016 hurts still this day. 2021 was probably one of my favorites too because I met my family in Phoenix finally that year. And as the biggest Steph fan, 2022 will always be up there
People don’t give enough credit to the SPURS but they were one of the most dominating dynasties!!! Going against great defensive teams and always staying on top for more than a decade!! You had to go through them to become a champion…what a GREAT DYNASTY!!!!
Even though the Spurs haven’t won since 2014 it’s still nice to see and hear that we have 5 championship’s, Timmy D best PF to ever play the game of basketball
@@_HunnidProof I always think bout that, but would the Spurs have been as motivated if they won the 13 Finals? Maybe they woulda lost 2014 if they didn't have that winning drive from losing the previous year.
I cried when I watched Giannis get hurt in the Conf. Finals and I thought that they're done for the season, I was clearly wrong. I was nervous when they went down 0-2 versus the SUNS in the Finals, so watching them won it all in 2021 is something special to me.
The 5 most impactful players of the last 3 decades have been Michael Jordan, Kobe, Tim Duncan, Lebron and Steph Curry because they have lead their teams to dynasties and have won the majority of the finals of the last 3 decades. Soak it in because we will never witness another era of basketball like this again. They’re all absolute legends.
RIP to Mr Bill Russell. I was too young to watch you play but what an ambassador for this game. Always class and we’ll respected by everyone that has played. Fly high sir and thank you.
17:39 Dirk walking to the locker room in disbelief after all the years of criticism he faced will always be my favorite NBA Finals moment, especially after that BS officiating in 06 10:33
I miss Kobe, I miss his knowledge, his competitiveness, and I miss his enjoyment of acknowledging great players like Lebron and Kawhi. I was born in 94, didn’t get see MJ in his prime but I know he’s a top 3 great. Football was my No.1 sport but this type of skill always impressed me. I’m so lucky to witness 3 generations of amazing athletes. To see the Warriors make the Finals seem like a invitation almost is amazing to me. I now sit with Steph Curry and them taking the torch. You gotta love sports man
Born in 02, for many years I had a favorite team and hated certain teams but man over time just looking at the greatness of the game is amazing, from seeing Kobe win back to back, Dirk over the heat, Bron dominating the heat, to curry rising in 15, Bron having the greatest comeback ever, to Kd and curry one of the greatest duos I’ve ever seen, Kawhi do it, Bron n Ad doing it in the west, Giannis proving his greatness and now the warriors continue their legacy, man I just love basketball the 20s decade will hold some great memories
NBA gave us so many joyfull moments, seeing this video I realize how much I LOVE THIS GAME, how much can I gate in memories, how a player who "i hated" can turn with time in someone who got me in tears by the emotion, or the respect that I have for them. These memories can take me through the years, and I can clearly see what was going on in my life at that time. The moments in which I was happiest also stand out, and those that I enjoyed the most... And like Kobe said, I’ll always love you for it.
My top 7 after winning title moments: 7. Lebron’s first title win reaction with the Cavs 6. Duncan finally smiles for the first time after a huge finals rematch win 5. Giannis sitting in a courtside seat 4. Kobe with his family after the 4th win 3. Kevin Garnett anything is possible 2. Jordan after his 4th win 1. Dirk Nowitzky exiting after beating the heat
Nothing better than the images and voices of old 90s basketball man..takes me right back to my living room as a kid man I could drop a mf tear right now
Today's kids and new generations don't know how good Utah Jazz team from '90s was. They pushed Bulls 2 times to the limits and actually to play to the last second. I was supporting Bulls, but that Jazz team deserves more respect than some Championship teams from this era.
@@ja4309 especially against a dynasty team like the Bulls. It's like 20 years from now most people will only remember the cavaliers because of Lebron and not the fact they went to the finals 4 times straight against the warriors dynasty
This was nice to watch. Thank you for the great editing. So much emotion. I remember every single one. Winning the finals is a difficult accomplishment.
That 2011-12 transition hits different. Bron missing out in a big way, the finally capturing that elusive title the following year. I loved Miami Bron, some of the best hoops ever. Over 10 years later and the GOAT is still contending for titles. God bless him.
The 08 Boston celebration is still my favorite to date!!!!! Seeing Paul Pierce and kG get their titles was amazing!!!! To all who pointed out my typo, thank you!!!
The Sacramento Kings were supposed to play The Nets in 2002, not the Lakers. The Sacramento Kings were screwed vs the Lakers on Tim Donaghy's fixed games.
the raptors championship is something i'll never forget. 37 million faithfully cheering you on through almost 25 years of pain and heartbreak... 3 million at the championship parade, thousands dancing, singing and hugging in the streets. we partied all night and no one went to work that week. the nation-wide celebrations after no championship in toronto or canada in 16 years was special. kawhi showed the most emotion this time. amazing storylines for the hardened vets like lowry, gasol, ibaka. kawhi's comeback and the young, scrappy bench with fvv, siakam, powell stepping up not to mention rookie coach nurse winning and masai going from villain to hero. i truly believe they would've gone back to back if he stayed.
Imagine winning the NBA championship on Father’s Day, 6 years after your father is murdered. I respect Kawhi so much. I don’t know how he keeps it together
weirdly it was the same thing for MJ his dad had died like 2 years before and he was distraught about it even after the game blew off , kawhi deserves his chip tho man's a beast
Lo más increíble y emocionante es ver como Cleveland y Golden State se disputaron 4 finales consecutivas, fue una gran era para esos dos equipos una gran rivalidad
@@leultrainstinct406 Lotta second fiddles average 28 in the finals. I guess Kobe should be brought down a peg for going to 4 finals and not winning an FMVP? 🤣😂😅
As someone who was born after the Blue Jays' back-to-back World Series championships in Baseball, I always pondered the thought if I would ever see a team from Toronto ever capture their national championship. Watching the Raptors go on that unbelievable run in 2019, managing to best one of the greatest teams in modern NBA history with Golden State was one of the happiest moments in my life as a lifelong Raptors fan. I miss that duo of Kawhi and Lowry so much. It was only for that one season together, but they managed to create one hell of a run, and a moment that I will forever cherish, knowing I was alive to witness it.
I grew up in Compton, CA, so '00, '01, 02, and '09 were nice to see. 2010 was definitely special because it was the last Lakers title I watched with my father, who passed in 2012. He loved Kobe (and Shaq) and was a life long Laker fan, as well as all L.A.region sports (Dodgers/ USC Trojans Football/ UCLA Bruin Basketball/ LA/Oakland Raiders). also, I was born in 1988, the year both the Dodgers and Lakers won championshipsssss.
@@MarioCindric I don't believe that is so, I realize everyone sees things differently based on a player they support, but for 8 straight years various players won yes but they all faced lebron in the finals, mj is the GOAT fine kobe is my guy but that is an amazing accomplishment
@@hezzi3283 It was weakest era of basketball since 70s. And yet they all needed to form Superteams to win the titles. And winning 3 titles from 8 finals as "best" player of that era is not one of the greatest accomplishments, people did far far far more tougher and greater things in basketball. LBJ formed 2 Superteams with just one purpose, to win as much as possible titles. He failed so badly that he couldn't build a Dynasty from neither of those teams.
@@MarioCindric saying that these generation is the weakest since the 70's is truly, and i mean truly the absolute dumbest argument to hate on lebron i've ever ever seen, considering the game of basketball as all the other sports is evolving and the players today are quite clearly without the shadow of a doubt the best they've ever been. (on average, so shut up about mj, magic etc). if u can tell me an era where there's been more spread talent than the modern one, i'll be impressed

I was born in 1995 (December 24th), but didn't get to see the Houston Rockets win their second-straight title, in time. My first time seeing a Finals game was my team, the Chicago Bulls, win their record-breaking (at the time) Championship season, the following season, and it was one to remember. My dad was there for all the championship seasons and it was the only decade where you were proud to be a Bulls fan. Sadly, those days are gone, but they will forever be a part of history, when it comes to the team's organization.

How KD ruined it they still won it lord we all know what Curry got we seen that with his 1st championship hell lebron made a super team so the warriors did the same
That 2018 Finals last minute showed how lifeless the league really was with KD on the Warriors. Mike Breen’s commentary just gives it extra emphasis. Blowout as the sweep was wrapping up. No one cared considering not even Lebron at his peak could do anything.
The Phoenix Suns losing 3 NBA Finals ('76/'93/'21) to 3 great teams, but they're truly cursed as is most of the Arizona sports teams with exception of Arizona Rattlers (6) AFL/IFL titles, Diamondbacks (1) WS title in 2001 & Phoenix Mercury (3) WNBA titles.

Look at Iguadala man, so inspirational. The GOAT among all the finals mvp of the last 36 years, many considered him GOD amongst men. Averaging 7.8 points, 3.3 Rebounds, 3.0Assist, 0.3Blocks carrying the warriors to become the first unanimous triple single finals mvp in the history of NBA 😭😭😭
since you said finals, ill take semi-finals as a finals word too, pacers took mj to game 7, but actually finals only, then yes bulls never went to game 7.
Respect for those who sacrificed their numbers and minutes to win championship. Chris Bosh, Ray Allen, Klay Thompson and Kevin Love they all chose to be third man and kept the team chemistry.
Though I feel like I missed out on so much, the 2022 was special because it was the year that my bond with basketball really took off. I was interested the year before but after catching the games of the finals my love of the sport grew. Going for the warriors was a good decision because I didn't go though the disappointment of having my team lose. I'm glad that I'm now learning way more and catching all the games so far of the 2022-23 season.

@@TheBBCSlurpee that would have gotten the crowd even more hyped than boring free throws
'The Shot' was from Jordan.
@@Riri-oj1zs you mean the push off
It still hurts. Why did Steph have to choke
The 5 most impactful players of the last 3 decades have been Michael Jordan, Kobe, Tim Duncan, Lebron and Steph Curry because they have lead their teams to dynasties and have won the majority of the finals of the last 3 decades. Soak it in because we will never witness another era of basketball like this again. They’re all absolute legends.
kawhi ending 2 dynasties
David Robinson #50 TO! Old school and on the first dream team.
How can you disregard Shaq?
Shaq not being mentioned here is astounding.
get lebron tf outta here!!!! shittin me
RIP to Mr Bill Russell. I was too young to watch you play but what an ambassador for this game. Always class and we’ll respected by everyone that has played. Fly high sir and thank you.
Kawhi and mj were heartbreaking to watch. But Kobe Bryant holding Gigi after the championship hit me hard
Mike Breen has covered the NBA Finals from 2006 up until present (2022). A legendary voice that has come a long way.
17:39 Dirk walking to the locker room in disbelief after all the years of criticism he faced will always be my favorite NBA Finals moment, especially after that BS officiating in 06 10:33
Dirk man ❤
Young Kawhi in 2014
Nah, that was sure a blocking foul no doubt
I just ranked my top 10 moments from this video, and Dirk is my number 1
Kobe with Gigi in that championship really got me feeling some way and it still feels unreal too that they're no longer here ):
Dirk lost that first match up against wade and had to get it back against the big 3 that’s probably the most beautiful out of them all tbh
The big 3 bitches?
I miss Kobe, I miss his knowledge, his competitiveness, and I miss his enjoyment of acknowledging great players like Lebron and Kawhi. I was born in 94, didn’t get see MJ in his prime but I know he’s a top 3 great. Football was my No.1 sport but this type of skill always impressed me. I’m so lucky to witness 3 generations of amazing athletes. To see the Warriors make the Finals seem like a invitation almost is amazing to me. I now sit with Steph Curry and them taking the torch. You gotta love sports man
A top 3 great? Hes the best player to ever play the game buddy
Top 3... Obviously you're a football first guy. Don't tell me you'll place a perennial loser to that mythical figure?
@@skyh2394 I left it open for subjection. Why you so rattled about MY opinion
@@lamefart I didn’t name a single person of than him in the top 3. Like who you like
It's pretty consensus in the NBA community that MJ is the greatest, but these repliers didn't have to be condescending lmao
Born in 02, for many years I had a favorite team and hated certain teams but man over time just looking at the greatness of the game is amazing, from seeing Kobe win back to back, Dirk over the heat, Bron dominating the heat, to curry rising in 15, Bron having the greatest comeback ever, to Kd and curry one of the greatest duos I’ve ever seen, Kawhi do it, Bron n Ad doing it in the west, Giannis proving his greatness and now the warriors continue their legacy, man I just love basketball the 20s decade will hold some great memories
Football used to be the best. Looking over the years... This might be the best man... the past decade was instrumental for this sport.
NBA gave us so many joyfull moments, seeing this video I realize how much I LOVE THIS GAME, how much can I gate in memories, how a player who "i hated" can turn with time in someone who got me in tears by the emotion, or the respect that I have for them. These memories can take me through the years, and I can clearly see what was going on in my life at that time.
The moments in which I was happiest also stand out, and those that I enjoyed the most... And like Kobe said, I’ll always love you for it.
My top 7 after winning title moments:
7. Lebron’s first title win reaction with the Cavs
6. Duncan finally smiles for the first time after a huge finals rematch win
5. Giannis sitting in a courtside seat
4. Kobe with his family after the 4th win
3. Kevin Garnett anything is possible
2. Jordan after his 4th win
1. Dirk Nowitzky exiting after beating the heat
Nothing better than the images and voices of old 90s basketball man..takes me right back to my living room as a kid man I could drop a mf tear right now
Today's kids and new generations don't know how good Utah Jazz team from '90s was. They pushed Bulls 2 times to the limits and actually to play to the last second. I was supporting Bulls, but that Jazz team deserves more respect than some Championship teams from this era.
They were good but never pushed a game 7
Sadly that's what happens when you didn't win the championship: Only seen as the team that the champions had to trample on
@@ja4309 especially against a dynasty team like the Bulls. It's like 20 years from now most people will only remember the cavaliers because of Lebron and not the fact they went to the finals 4 times straight against the warriors dynasty
You know the kids don’t know anything if they call the players “plumbers”.
Such disrespect.
Malone and stockton deserves a chip
Sad thing seeing Kobe with his daughters in the 2009 finals
I still get chills watching 2021 highlights. I was in the building and the energy was like none other! FEAR THE DEER🦌
Wow Bryant’s 4th when he hands his oldest daughter the trophy and her smile just brought tears to my eyes.😢
This was nice to watch. Thank you for the great editing. So much emotion. I remember every single one. Winning the finals is a difficult accomplishment.
16:00 probably one of the happiest yet saddest moments man i miss kobe. R.I.P Kobe and his daughter
dwade 3 years into his career got a chip and had an all-time finals performance is not talked about enough
DWade was great but dig deeper... Watch the whole series. Check out the calls and ft discrepancy.
Should’ve went back to back in 05 and 06 if it weren’t for his ribs.
Heard he got as many fouls just Wade than an entire Mavs team
@@A-ROD-oe8wl what chu mean u heard? Did u actually watch the series?
All free throws.....
The Warriors and Cavs rivalry is still one of the most iconic rivalry in NBA I miss it.
That 2011-12 transition hits different. Bron missing out in a big way, the finally capturing that elusive title the following year. I loved Miami Bron, some of the best hoops ever. Over 10 years later and the GOAT is still contending for titles. God bless him.
Definitely the King of Flop.
GOAT is debatable.
The 08 Boston celebration is still my favorite to date!!!!! Seeing Paul Pierce and kG get their titles was amazing!!!! To all who pointed out my typo, thank you!!!

Nearly singlehandedly clinched the title for the Bulls in that last minute. 🐐
NBA Commentator: After a half century, the Milwaukee Bucks are NBA Champions once again
Devin Booker: Damn 😓
the raptors championship is something i'll never forget. 37 million faithfully cheering you on through almost 25 years of pain and heartbreak... 3 million at the championship parade, thousands dancing, singing and hugging in the streets. we partied all night and no one went to work that week. the nation-wide celebrations after no championship in toronto or canada in 16 years was special. kawhi showed the most emotion this time. amazing storylines for the hardened vets like lowry, gasol, ibaka. kawhi's comeback and the young, scrappy bench with fvv, siakam, powell stepping up not to mention rookie coach nurse winning and masai going from villain to hero. i truly believe they would've gone back to back if he stayed.
As a Warriors fan 2016 hurts me until this day, but 2019 was also so difficult to watch, see the oportunity to Three-peat went to the hell
Needed more superstars perhaps
Imagine winning the NBA championship on Father’s Day, 6 years after your father is murdered. I respect Kawhi so much. I don’t know how he keeps it together

As someone who was born after the Blue Jays' back-to-back World Series championships in Baseball, I always pondered the thought if I would ever see a team from Toronto ever capture their national championship.
Watching the Raptors go on that unbelievable run in 2019, managing to best one of the greatest teams in modern NBA history with Golden State was one of the happiest moments in my life as a lifelong Raptors fan. I miss that duo of Kawhi and Lowry so much. It was only for that one season together, but they managed to create one hell of a run, and a moment that I will forever cherish, knowing I was alive to witness it.
Kobe, curry, lebron, mj, and duncan the best players...all of them leading their teams to become dynasties

it feels good and bad. I feel good and apart of the winning team but I feel so bad for the losing team
i love simple but not long videos like this
I grew up in Compton, CA, so '00, '01, 02, and '09 were nice to see. 2010 was definitely special because it was the last Lakers title I watched with my father, who passed in 2012. He loved Kobe (and Shaq) and was a life long Laker fan, as well as all L.A.region sports (Dodgers/ USC Trojans Football/ UCLA Bruin Basketball/ LA/Oakland Raiders).
also, I was born in 1988, the year both the Dodgers and Lakers won championshipsssss.
Lebron to 8 straight is simply amazing
Eh lol
And losing 5. Yeap that's impressive, but in bad way. Either he's greatest chocker or greatest disappointment.
@@MarioCindric I don't believe that is so, I realize everyone sees things differently based on a player they support, but for 8 straight years various players won yes but they all faced lebron in the finals, mj is the GOAT fine kobe is my guy but that is an amazing accomplishment
@@hezzi3283 It was weakest era of basketball since 70s. And yet they all needed to form Superteams to win the titles. And winning 3 titles from 8 finals as "best" player of that era is not one of the greatest accomplishments, people did far far far more tougher and greater things in basketball. LBJ formed 2 Superteams with just one purpose, to win as much as possible titles. He failed so badly that he couldn't build a Dynasty from neither of those teams.
@@MarioCindric saying that these generation is the weakest since the 70's is truly, and i mean truly the absolute dumbest argument to hate on lebron i've ever ever seen, considering the game of basketball as all the other sports is evolving and the players today are quite clearly without the shadow of a doubt the best they've ever been. (on average, so shut up about mj, magic etc). if u can tell me an era where there's been more spread talent than the modern one, i'll be impressed

2008 was when celtics won, as a lakers fan, you stopped kobe's 6th ring and 3 peat. I'd trade brons 2020 ring for that.

That Jordan game 6 game winner iconic
Damn, you gotta think how dominant Jordan was, man had 2 three peats in one decade facing different teams in all of them but 1. Truly the most dominant player to touch a basketball and my goat 💯😤
I was born in 1995 (December 24th), but didn't get to see the Houston Rockets win their second-straight title, in time. My first time seeing a Finals game was my team, the Chicago Bulls, win their record-breaking (at the time) Championship season, the following season, and it was one to remember. My dad was there for all the championship seasons and it was the only decade where you were proud to be a Bulls fan. Sadly, those days are gone, but they will forever be a part of history, when it comes to the team's organization.
When you see players cry when they win a championship, it reminds us that they are human
