    2002 Game 4 – Lakers vs Kings
    Horry hits the 3-pointer to win the game when Vlade Divac tapped the ball out. Right place at the right time.

    MJ over the cavs

    MJ over… Bryon Russell.

    Game 1 of 97 Finals, Utah leads by 1, MJ fakes Russell, shot, fist pump. First MJ buzzer-beater I ever witnessed live, still gives me chills up to this time.

    FIsher’s 0.4 shot over the Spurs

  • kevin

    MJ over the Cavs and Ehlo. Considered by many the most famous buzzer beater in NBA history. With the best-of-five series tied 2-2 and the Cavaliers leading 100-99, Michael Jordan stopped, pop, double-clutched, hung…and hung…and hung until he drained the jumper to give the Bulls the win. As the ball nestled through the net, Jordan pumped his fists in jubilation, completing a video highlight for the ages. This shot helped plot two very different courses for each franchise. The Bulls would own the ’90s. The Cavs didn’t recover until LeBron.

    MJ over Ehlo and playing an integral role in the fortunes of not one but two NBA franchises. Considered by many the most famous buzzer beater in NBA history. With the best-of-five series tied 2-2 and the Cavaliers leading 100-99, Michael Jordan stopped, double-clutched, hung…and hung…and hung until he drained the jumper to give the Bulls the win.

    tim duncan’s 3 pointer against the suns

  • Tiho Sablic

    For me it’s Game one of the 92 Finals. Jordan drained mulstiple 3 pointers, scored 35 in the first half, and gave Cliff Robinson the shrug. I stayed up the whole night to see this game in Germany…good times!

  • Jose

    ’08 Playoffs, First Round, Game 1, SA/PHX. Tim Duncan’s 3 pointer to send the game into Double Overtime. Duncan already had 35+ points which tells you what everyone always says of him. You can count on him Every night. That one shot honestly changed the whole series and broke Phoenix. All from one Clutch shot from Tim Duncan…

  • Henry Paulk III

    It has to be a tie between Dwyane Wade against the Detroit Pistons or the Heat vs. the Mavs in the Finals. I mean he was only 3 years into his NBA Career and to carry a team like he did, I mean it’s crazy to really think about it. I don’t want to diss MJ because he will always be the best when it comes to willing a team to victory, but come on. And yes he had Shaq but those who say that are just mad because they didn’t have him at the time. I mean Dwade had 25pts, 5 asts, 6 rebounds,nd 2 steals. game 2 he had 32 pts 7 rebs 5 assists. game 3 35pts 4ast 2 stls 14 rebs. nd im nt gonna do all the games bt he took over he let everyone know that hey i got your back. and wen he did that turnaround 360 shot on antonio mcdyesses its was crazy jus crazy. nd he carried that same attitude into the finals which is prolly why they won.

  • ai come back

    im probably not gonna get too much love for this but i gotta go with reggies 8 pts in 8.9 seconds i mean seriously if theres one thing taht was completley unexpected it was this……larry brown said he hought they had no chance..but hate him or w/e man got some sick skill…….sides all u knick fans out there…..only knicki liked was marbury/francis lol

  • Graham Wilson

    reggie dunk on the nets 2 send it into overtime

    The 2007 Playoffs
    The Spurs, after being comfortably in control of Game Four, saw their 11-point fourth quarter lead dwindle away, to a 2-point Suns lead. With 18 seconds left Robert Horry cheapily bodychecked Steve Nash in which he threw his arms in the air, crashing down into the scorers table. Nash’s teammates jumped to his defense; during the ensuing altercation, both Stoudamire and Diaw were suspended one game for there so called actions, and the suns eventually lost that game and the series.

    Without that bodycheck I am sure the suns would have gone all the way. Personally this “buzzerbeater” was the most devastating / memorable as a suns fan

  • ai come back

    oh wait i dont htink mine conts as a buzzer beater i didnt look at the buzzer beater part lol i saw best playoff momnet ok if slam dont ocunt the other one im goin with my man lebron…….holy crap taht shot was insane…..i was jumpin over people and stuff after i saw that……

  • http://www.stuffwhitepeoplelike.com Tarzan Cooper

    02 wcf game 4. Not horry. But samaki walkers halfcourt heave at the end of the firsthalf. It was obviously no good, left his hands way after clock was at zeroes, but for some reason(donagie), refs let it stand and didnt even review it.

  • http://www.stuffwhitepeoplelike.com Tarzan Cooper

    Seriously, 05 finals, game 5. ROBERT HORRY, game winning shot, and all the rest of his huge shots in 4th and ot, truly unbelievable

  • JayChau

    2003 playoffs San Antonio vs. Phoenix Suns, game 1. I was 13 years old at the moment, and I can remember vividly Marbury’s running bank shot to steal game 1 at San Antone. I am not a Suns fan by any way, but I celebrated too by myself like I was in the moment as the Suns were.

  • William Kang

    Derek Fishers shot with .4 seconds against the Spurs. Beautiful

  • http://www.redraidersports.com Nick Fleming

    Fisher. 0.4

  • James

    Lebrons epic game winner over the magic in game 2 in the conference finals last year. The energy in the game….that momemnt as you see lebron hestitate see it go through and turn with a massive smile on his face as his team swamps him. Thats what the NBA playoffs are about.

  • Shaun McDonald

    Although Ron Artest’s buzzer beating hustle rebound, and flip shot in game V of this years Western Conference Finals cut me deep, as I had to watch my fellow canuck, Steve Nash, go another year without a ring, I can’t help but think about Robert Horry. I know MJ’s final shot as a Bull was something straight out of a story book, but that was what was expected from the best ever. Robert Horry scored 21 in the final quarter of game 5 in 05′ and the game winning 3 pointer, which ultimatley secured the series and eventually another title for the Spurs.To me that was more impressive. I hate “Cheap Shot Rob” for what he did in 07′ (again to his former team and again to Steve Nash), but it worked out for the Spurs who, after Horry was suspended for games 5 & 6 of the conference finals but also got Amare and Boris Diaw suspended also, went on to sweep a young Cavaliers team. Don’t argue it was a cheap shot, that’s probably why after that year Horry never played a single game in the L. I ask anyone out there; is their a current player/mvp who is more deserving of a championship than Captain Canada?

  • Danny Farrell

    Lebron James scoring 25 straight points vs the Detroit Pistons in game 5

  • the_baller20

    How about the 2008 Finals when the Celtics beat the Lakers in game 6 by 39? Their first Larry O’Brien trophy since 1986!!! How about that! You guys gotta take that into consideration.

  • Neon

    I’m a Celtic fan and it’s hard to pick just one, so I decided to just go with my favorite recent playoff memory. I got Celtics vs Cavs, Game 4 from this year’s playoffs. Rondo got on a breakaway, with Lebron sizing him up for an all-too familiar chasedown block. But on the very last moment, he wraps it around and leaves it for the trailing Tony Allen. That was when everybody realized, we got you figured out, Lebron.
    (Please let me win the Celtics pack, SLAM! Huge SLAM/LRG/Celtic fan, so I need to get my hands on those!)
