The most glaring omission here is Jerry West's miraculous shot from 60' against the Knicks in Game 3 of the 1970 Finals, to force overtime. They didn't have a 3-point line back then -- if they did, the Lakers would've won that game right there. It was an incredible shot.
@@MR.__G magic doesn’t hate bird worthy doesn’t hate maccale Garnett doesn’t hate lebron like that shaq don’t/didn’t hate Kobe like that I’m saying all their beefs seem to pale in comparison to these two
@@MrPangahas Isaiah don't have a problem wit mj it's pippen he hate lol...if u go back to Jordan last all-star game wit wizards Isaiah was coaching nd he actually benched Paul Pierce nd Antoine walker so Jordan can play the whole 2nd half foreal nd get mvp. During da game u can see them 2 pouting nd dey interviewed Isaiah bout it nd he said who cares I'm da coach lol
They both respect each other's games. Why wouldn't he choose a guy who shot ~50% in clutch situation or not, like the guy wasn't affected by pressure? MJ said Isiah is next to Magic as the goat pg..
timestamp? It's a thoughtufl thing to do since some people may not want to watch the whole video but read comments and get curious about a specific moment mentioned. Only takes a few seconds to put a timestamp.
@@slasher5871 They went through each round, and it was definitely worth mentioning. It was a literal buzzer beater. So as clutch of a shot as humanly possible.
Everytime I see Dominique, I get a bit angry because that man deserved to be on that DREAM TEAM. Absolutely, positively, no doubt about it. Easy pick. Mullins was questionable. Zeke was also deserving but with all that drama going on it was a touchy situation. But Dominique Absolutely deserved it. Till today that shit makes me do this🤦🏽♂️🤷🏽♂️
They wanted to have at least a few white guys, that's why they put Laettner on the list instead of Shaq and Mullin instead of Dominique, was a bad decision.
@@Kig_Ama STFU with that shit man...talking about false narratives... Christian Laettner was selected because at the time he was the best college player, simple as that..the dream team had to select 1 college player and Christian was the fkin man back then in COLLEGE. Wilkins was a good highlight reel player but don't disrespect Mully like that man, even Magic said Chris was God's gift to basketball he was a great player. The 3 seasons before the 92 Olympics Mullin averaged over 25 points and was shooting something like 53% from the field. Wilkins was a ball hog who's fg% was around 45%....Mullin was an all around team player, Wilkins wasn't.. as much as I love me some Nique you're talking out of your ass for real. And the other white guys - Bird & Stockton are 2 of the single greatest players of all time in their respective positions..smh
I can only recall back to the 80s & even that is foggy, but Ray Allen’s 3 ball will always be the most clutch shot in NBA history. The literal difference between a championship or bust.
Larry Bird had the most clutch shots/buzzer beaters in the NBA. Of 21 clutch/buzzer beaters, 18 were winners. See this video: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-s-Hf-3XvAyk.html
Sure did. I still remember that one he threw in from about 80' against Denver, at the end of a quarter, in the playoffs one year. At home. He threw it one-handed, almost like a shot-put, from almost full court. It rattled the rim really hard and went it. Unbelievable. I was a huge Laker fan, but I felt so sorry for Doug Moe. He was doing his best to coach his team that had Alex English and Fat Lever and Kiki VanDeweghe but was way over-matched. And then Magic hits an 80-footer at the buzzer. The Nuggets just didn't have a chance.
People forgot or didn't realize that both Jazz series were extremely close. The Bulls won both series in 6 games but it took 4 game winners by the Bulls in the final 25 seconds. 97 finals games 1, 5, and 6 then the famous last shot in the 98 finals game 6. All 1 possession wins by the bulls. 3 game winners in final 25 seconds by Jordan, 1 by Kerr. For the greatest clutch shooter, you just have to choose the guy who shot the same percentage the whole game and during clutch situations. That guy loved pressure. He's like a psychopath. Like that interview where he missed the game winner in game 5 in Chicago vs the Jazz in the 98 final, he said, that would've been a cute moment if he made it, while smiling. He made it in game 6 though while he made 55% of his teams' score. 🤷♂️🤣🤣🤣
Amen!! Also. Jordan's steal of Malone before "The Shot" is the better "defensive" play than LeBron's block was. It makes me angry that the steal gets forgotten about.. Bc the steal was there all game, but Jordan saved it for when they really, REALLY needed it. If he does it earlier in the game, then Malone wouldn't have been as comfortable with the ball and would have been looking for it.. "The Steal" belongs in the conversation of "best plays".
@@thisguy8106 exactly. He was always thinking steps ahead. Case in point, when he dished that assist to Kerr, he knew beforehand that Stockton would double him up. Also said by the Glove himself that early on in his career he didn't get coach Karl's instructions. After the timeout while he was looking perplexed and MJ saw it, he told GP the exact and actual play. Lol Re defense, it was him who locked down Reggie in the 4th quarter of then do or die game 7 of the 98 ECF. Locked and clamped down. 0 in the whole 4th quarter eventhough Reggie was running circles around Harper and Pip in the past 3 quarters. Lol Imagine your teammate read a book about geniuses because he was fascinated and in awe of your bb IQ. That's what BJ Armstrong did. Hahahaha
the pleasure of isiah speaking about kukoc's shot and pippen's whininess and pippen in 93 had a lane for a dunk but like always, did not dare to take a clutch shot
Seriously Jordan is the Goat and I admired him but in terms of Skill Kobe had it even Phil Jackson agreed! In case of LeBron, I respect his abilities but I think he is far away from the two. Airness is 1A and Mamba is 1B and Lebron is behind them!
@@lil_mamba6290 Kobe was arguably the best shot maker ever. He could shoot from anywhere. The downside is that they were low percentage shots(since they were tough to make). But it was great to watch him play. If only he had a good supporting cast in the mid 2000s and early 2010s, he could've won even more.
@Trzn 2 You can say that about near half of the professional athletes in every league testing is a joke and in the 90s it was near non existent even though the problem is much worse today because of accessibility
Hey sometimes its the right call. I remember a game, high school. Semi finals. I was starting 5 all season, and we were playing a team, a real good team. I was guarding their best player, all game. I mean this dude was no joke, he was super quick, could run and jump like you couldnt believe, and he was like 3 or 4 inches bigger. I actually had trouble guarding him. I remember the end of the game, we were down like 2. Or no wait, it was a tie. With like 15 seconds to go, it was tie, and they were gonna have the ball. And coach TAKES ME OUT of the game. And puts on my buddy Virg, to guard him. Of course I'm like pissed lol I'm like why the f you taking me out, its the end of the game. My coach was like, just trust me. In any case, we ALL know who's gonna get the ball, and take the last shot. So they inbound, get to him, clock winds down, he goes up and takes a shot, just inside the 3 point line. My buddy Virg jumps UP and BLOCKS the shot, clean. 4th quarter ends, game goes into overtime, of course I play most of the overtime, and we end up winning. And advancing to the finals, where we ended up winning, our first of back to back championships, in Quebec high school basketball lol Now, I couldnt have blocked that shot lol I mean Virg was taller than I was. Had longer arms, he just had enough to get it, while I likely wouldn't have got it lol So it was the RIGHT CALL. For coach to put him on, at that time. At the time I wasnt too happy to be taken out, but I quickly understood it was the RIGHT CALL. Virg blocked the shot lol And maybe saved the game for us. Pippen, might not have been happy. But, was it the right CALL. Seemed like it, I mean Kukoc hit the shot lol
The Los Angeles Lakers clutch NBA playoffs shots: Magic Johnson baby sky hook against The Boston Celtics, Robert Horry 3-pointer at the buzzer against The Phoenix Suns, Derek Fisher jumper with .04 of a second on the clock against The San Antonio Spurs, Ron Artest put back at the buzzer against The Phoenix Suns, Kobe Bryant elbow jumper at the buzzer against The Phoenix Suns, Anthony Davis 3-pointer at the buzzer against The Denver Nuggets, &, More....
Clock started late and they cheated the Spurs. That's why it was only fitting that detroit whooped their ass in the finals. We came back the next year and beat the pistons in 7
Believe it or not I liked Derek Fisher he may not of been the best player but in the clutch I like him to take the shot. That said most clutch player ever I want 1 Meadowlark Lemon 2 Larry bird 3 Pistol Pete Maravich
Thomas is right. Stockton needed to take over more games in Utah by scoring. They would've won more in the playoffs if he did. Stockton's inability to consistently take over playoff games is what separates him from Magic and Thomas.
They missed so many Larry Johnson 99 east finals Eddie Johnson 97 west finals Reggie Miller 9 sec vs knicks Avery Johnson 99 finals Allen Houston 99 first round Lebron 09 east finals Kyrie 16 finals Hakeem tip in 95 finals So on and so on
What I never understood about the Magic game winner is why McHale overplayed Magic to go to his right. If you are going to overplay a guy to one side, make him go to his weaker side, in Magic's case his left. McHale was usually a good defender; maybe he was just executing what the coaches called for, but I thought it was a bad choice in any case.
He spoke about it somewhere I don’t remember where but he said it had something to do with the fact he had a broken foot and could only really move one way efficiently and so he guided magic that way so he could at least defend abit better
What Samuel Murray said in his reply is accurate. I remember McHale explaining it that way, or very close to it. But also remember that Kareem was down there in the low post on the left side. If McHale would've forced Magic to go baseline, he knew Magic would blow right by him and Kareem would've been there to set a pick on Parish. So Magic might've gotten a dunk. It was one of those "pick your poison" choices, and it worked out for the Lakers. Plus, Magic had used that baby hook shot occasionally but not often with the game on the line. So it's not like they were expecting it. He just improvised based on what the defense gave him. The really cool thing is, like the commentators here said, he shot that from just inside the free throw line. It was about a 13- or 14-foot hook shot over two tall trees. And it hit nothing but net. He made it look easy, but that was a TOUGH shot.
@@samuelmurray5104 Yep. I remember that. I seem to remember it was a hairline fracture rather than a completely broken foot, but it still hampered him. When you watch the play it looked like he sucked it up and defended pretty well though. It's not like he was a sloth out there. Magic just hit a really tough shot.
First segment's topic is about 1st round Playoffs clutch shots, and Isiah Thomas citing Toni Kukoc's winning shot (at the "expense" of Scottie Pippen) in the conference semis. Over two decades later until this episode was televised, Zeke still makes potshots or two to the team he and the Pistons used to bully until they were overwhelmingly and convincingly dethroned in 1991. (Plus the fact he was ousted in the original Dream Team a year later.)
He also credited Pippen, along with Horace Grant, on making the right basketball play, passing to a wide open Paxson and he cited MJs shot in ‘98 as the greatest game winner in finals history… But you must’ve skipped that part smh
That's how Zeke rolls and always has been. He's always gutter-sniping at someone and acting out his petty jealousies & resentments. He'll go to his grave a bitter little man.
@@yongui350 I'm talking about when they were going round to round. They started from the first round to the finals with no mention then they bring him up after the fact
Isiah is right. I've always said "if Karl Malone didn't choke in the big moment(s) Utah would've won at least 2 Rings" John Stockton was one hell of a point guard that probably should've shot the rock more.
Isaiah needs to keep it down. All he had to do was inbound the ball. What's harder? Hitting a buzzer beater on a michael jordan team? Or simply inbounding the ball after an out of bounds that went in your favor?
