as of now, oklahoma city’s playoff run. franchise’s first playoffs. two wins against the defending champs. college atmosphere in a pro playoff game. great run for the league’s youngest team.

The best moment was when LeBron shot the free throw with his left. Why? Cause it was hilarious to watch peoples reactions. LeBron tends to exajerate a little some times and when I saw it happen I knew it was nothing. It seemed that no one else did though. People everywhere panicked, sat in front of their TV or Comp. just to see if he was ok. Sort of reminded me how easy it is to rattle people. Funny sh*t.

it wasn’t really a playoff moment.. but happened during the playoffs.. but the unveiling of a Chick Hearn statue at Staples Center.. who knows what our basketball language would be without him.. but the moment was when his wife gave the statue a kiss.. and seeing all his fans out there in the rain..

My favorite moment of the NBA Playoffs is when Kevin Durant had 19 rebs against the Lakers and he blocked Kobe Bryants shot in the 4th quarter. At this very moment I began to believe that Durant was a REAL SUPERSTAR. At that time he joined the exclusive/elite group of Kobe and Bron. At this moment I realized that Durant can win multiple championships and be considered one of the Greates of All Time if he continues to mature as a player

My favorite moment of the 2010 NBA palyoffs was on Monday night when the Chuckster was asked who the three best point guards in the NBA were. With Chris Paul sitting right there he said “Deron Williams is the best point guard in the NBA…” (to Chris), “you would have been my number one but Deron is Bigger. He is just Bigger and Stronger.” CP3 looked like he had just been run over by the shame train. He then said CHris was two and Derrick Rose was three. Chuck has no shame. Awesome.

My most memorable moment was when the Thunder lost game 6. The standing ovation given from the oklahoma city fans to encourage their fallen heroes was simply amazing.

how rockin the ford center was when the thunder traveled back home. for all the hate against clay bennet for uprooting a storied franchise, it was crazy to see the love pourin out of these fans. reminded me of the msg of old, a great moment for a rising franchise

Even though they couldn’t pull through enough, my favorite moment was the OKC/Lakers series. OKC finished last years season with a 23-59 record and they were at the bottom of the list. But this year they came back with a record of 50-32 and just made it into the Playoffs. When everyone heard the underdogs would be playing the returning champions in the first round, majority of fans thought it would be a sweep. But with Kevin Durant leading the team with his scoring title they were able to tie the series 2-2 after losing the first 2 games in the series. They were able to pull to a game 6 but just came short and lost 95-94. It was definitly a shocker not only to myself but others fans as well but at the same time a total excitment to watch.

My most memorable moments of the playoffs has been the Miller siblings’ amazing commentating. Well, mostly Cheryl’s hairstyles and Reggie’s commentating.

Namely:

“mo williams trying to be mo betta with that dunk opportunity…”
“.. the coaching of george popovich.”
“an injured lebron is still better than 97% of the league. the only players better would be kobe, dwyane, and dwight. yes, i am saying there are only 100 people in the league.”

ok, so the last one wasn’t an exact quote, but if you heard what he actually said, you’d understand.

p.s. plz fire reggie miller.

Pau Gasol rebounding Kobe’s shot and putting it in the basket, in what would later be the last shot of the game.

my favorite moment so far in the 2010 playoffs has to be game three of the dallas and spurs series, just seeing manu go down with a broken nose and not only return to the game but continue to play the whole series without any protection just shows what type of player he is. He doesn’t play for money he plays for pride and the game

I’ve been a Grant Hill fan since the Sprite commercials, dunks on Zo, and playing through pain in his last playoff series as a Piston. Watching him hobble in Orlando for years was painful. Watching him get up, up, UP! and stuff the living crap out of Jerryd Bayless’ dunk attempt…and finally win a playoff series in the process… I was reduced to just screaming at the TV as I jumped up and down. I can’t recall anything in the entire season, let alone the playoffs, that made me that happy.

My favorite NBA playoff moment in 2010 would have to be Miami vs. Boston in game 4. I was at the game and was the best Basketball/ sporting event I have ever been to. The crows was outstanding. The atmosphere within the AAA Arena was just….undescribable. I had chills. Boy did Dwade put on a show! He dropped 46 points, being unstoppable. His best playoff performance in his career. He just couldnt be stopped. He made 4 three pointers in a row in the fourth quarter, that being 12 points right there. After his 4th three pointer he just stepped back and started yelling at his hand. He’s a beast!! Him and his hand have a relationship and when they’re both on fire, anything could happen. Plus, adding to the excitement, he had 2 of his best dunks in his career, in my opinion. One being a steal from Mario Chalmers and then dishing it to Wade on the fast break. Dwade took that ball, double clutched it, and threw it down! Behind his head, might i add. That dunk being voted the best reverse dunk he has ever committed in his NBA career. Then to add on top of that, in the 3rd quarter, he had the ball ands he decided to drive in through the lane. He handled the ball perfectly and then all of the sudden he just lifted off. The crowd went silent everything just froze. He cocked his arm back for what seemed like a mile. And then it happened, he SLAMMEd it down right over Kevin Garnett. The best facial i have ever seen. KG got a taste of hw it feels to be dunked on. The crowd went absolutely nuts, including me. I flew out of my seat and just screamed and hollered and went ballistic, as did the whole crowd. It was amazing. DWade and the Heat just couldnt be stopped. It was the best game i have seen and ever been too and it will never be forgotten.
