Default Greatest NBA Shots/Moves/Runs

With runs being a series of amazing stuff.

What are your favorites? Post pics/vids obviously if they are available [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

Other than the obvious ones I'm sure you'll list, I'll kick it off by saying that Rex Chapman's falling-away 3-pointer from 5ish? years back on the Suns is one of my favorite shots.

Sean Elliot's tiptoe 3 pointer from the corner. His heels were literally over the out of bounds line. Amazing.

Or the Larry Johnson 4 pointer in the playoffs. If only for the shot from the rafters where you see the whole Garden explode.

-Reggie Miller's 8 points in 11 seconds versus the Knicks in the 1995 playoffs

-T-Mac went crazy in the fourth quarter of a game last season, does anybody remember the details?

-Jordan's mid-air switching the ball between hands lay-up against the Lakers in the '91 Finals

Both of these are good. Larry Johnson's 4-point play was incredible.

Yeah I've seen this clip tons of times. It's on some DVD I got from Netflix. The details, are, well, that he ran up and hit some shots. And then he ran up and hit some more shots with 4 people in his face from 28 feet out.

o·ver·rate Pronunciation Key (vr-rt)
tr.v. o·ver·rat·ed, o·ver·rat·ing, o·ver·rates

To overestimate the merits of; rate too highly.

It was a nice play, but certainly not one that should go down as one of the greatest of all time. Plus he could have just dunked the ball to begin with, Perkins didn't even jump.

Pacers at Nets game 5 of the 2002 playoffs.
Back then it was still best of 5 in the first round.
At the end of regulation, Reggie Miller hits a 35 footer to send the game into OT.
With 8 seconds remaining in OT and the Pacers down by 2, Miller got the ball at the arc and everyone in the world thought he was going to take the shot and go for the win. Instead he pumpfakes the defender, drives the land and dunks to send it to a second OT.
The entire effort was ultimately in vein, the Pacers were destroyed in the second OT, but Miller dunking was the most unexpected clutch moment I have ever seen. It was the only time I can remember him dunking in anything other than an uncontested fast break situation.
