Win a Junk Food Clothing NBA Tee

Fave suns moment- game 6 of the 2006 1st round vs the Lakers. Let’s set up the scene shall we….I was just me and my boy Joe watching the game at the house, he being a lifelong laker fan from Inglewood, me being a die-hard Suns fan from Chandler, AZ. The game is a back and forth affair with no squad being able to seize control. With the Suns down three with under 30 tics to go in their season, Shawn Marion grabs the offensive board and kicks it out to a wide open Tim Thomas who calmly drains the game tying three to send the game into OT. But it was game changing ally-oop to the Matrix over the Mamba in OT to finally put away the show and take complete control of series that made me fist pump like a champ of Jersey Shore proportions. My friend was dejeceted and had no words…. I was in another dimension.

I’ve been wanting to go to attend an NBA game since I was in elementary school. But I never could, because I live in Saudi Arabia. Oh, I would visit the US on a regular basis, but it was always during the summer. I remember I was in Seattle in 1996, and I just wanted to drive by Key Arena. Anyway, now I’m in Virginia, so I HAD to go to a Laker game, I just had to. So I did. Last Tuesday. With Wifey. Pretty good seats. At one point, I sort of just stopped watching the action and just sat back and watched the crowd and the arena and smiled… “I was actually at a Laker game!” and then Wifey said “Hey! Did you see what number 24 just did?” “No,” I said, “I wasn’t paying attention. What did he do?” “He pretended like he was going to go right and then all the players thought he was going to go right but then he passed it to the guy on the left. 24 has great technique. But let me ask you, why do they call him “Biryani,” like the rice?”
See, Wifey had misread “Bryant” as “Biryani.”
Now that moment will live in infamy as my favorite Laker moment of all time.

My favorite Nuggets moment is simple: the first game of the 2009-10 season. The Nuggets are going up against their division rival, the Utah Jazz. It was the first game that mattered since the Nuggets lost to the Lakers and were eliminated from the Western Conference Finals. As a result of that playoff run, the Nuggets came into the season with high expectations. “Could they get there again?” “Could they get even further?” These were the questions asked by many. Against the Jazz in that first game, these questions were answered. Carmelo shoots a long jumpshot that clanks off the rim and is rebounded by Milsap. Milsap lobs an outlet that is picked off by Melo and slammed harder than I’ve ever seen Melo, more known for the sweetness of his game, dunk a ball. The crowd goes crazy as he yells “I’m back! I’m back!” I knew then that the answer to those questions was a resounding “yes.”

Everyone has there favorite nba moment but my favorite was when the boston celtics won their 17 title against the the lakers and who can forget kevin garnetts any thing is possible scream heard all around the wold.they were unstopeble last year and looks to do the same this year talk about celtic pride.i allways been a fan since the begining i really hope i win becuse just like the celtics Junk Food Clothing is incredible and one of a kind.

My favorite Houston Rockets moment was when Tracy Mcgrady scored like 13 points in about 30 seconds. I assumed the game was completely over. had i been at that game I would have left early without a doubt in my mind that Houston was going to lose. But then something clicked for T-Mac and he went on to demolish the Spurs. I couldn’t, and still can’t, believe T-Mac hit some of those ridiculous shots including a coulpe contested 3 pointers. All I can say is unbelievable and greatly remembered.

3… 2… 1… swish!The Celtics win! That was one of many games in the crazy match-up against the Bulls in ’09. That series was the most nail bitting, unthinkable series I have ever seen. I can still remember the ball floating in slow motion, after the buzzer had went off waiting to see the result. The Celtics are such a defensive minded, tough, and talented team that always work hard no matter what the circumstances are. I thank the Celtics for all the joy and passion I have for the game because of them and of course making me believe that anything is possible. GO CELTS GO!

My favorite Atlanta Hawks moment was when Mike Bibby hit a last second three to win it. I know it isnt the teams best in game moment by far but it is mine because I was at the game. It was my first hawks game and my favorite player was the one that hit the three to win it.

I would say the 88 series against the celtics but I wasnt alive than

My favorite Miami Heat moment was in the 2006 NBA Finals. I was only 8, so I don’t remember much, but I do remember the feeling of doubt I had when the Mavs took the lead in the series, 2-0. I knew that not many times had teams come back to win the championship. Then, the Heat started getting on a roll. Dwyane Wade had 42 points and 13 rebounds in the Heat’s 2-point win in Game 3. Game 4 was a blowout, 98-74. I started to think that we could actually win it. Game 5 was a 1-point game and Wade had 43 points, including the game winning free throws. The Heat had done the impossible winning by 3, Wade having 36 and 10. He played so great in the Finals, I had never seen anything like it. I thought the whole series was amazing to see, but I guess I would say that my single favorite moment was seeing Dwyane Wade standing up there, holding the NBA Finals trophy, Miami’s first ever.

Living in Houston for the majority of my life has made me a witness to some of the amazing things that have developed down here in the Southwest. I was here when we won our back to back titles and went from Choke City to Clutch City. I was here when we got the improbable number one pick to certify our franchise for years to come. And I was here when the Magic Man from Orlando came to Houston for Stevie Franchise (may his career rest in peace), Cuttino Mobley, and Kelvin Cato. I remember watching T-Mac pour in his 49 compared to Dirk’s 53, along with the ever-popular 13 in 35. But when I read the contest headline and thought about what my favorite moment in my own personal Houston Rocket history was, two words came to mind, Shawn Bradley. It seems sad that throughout the 15 year history I have with the Houston Rockets, the one moment I remember is the look of utter defeat on Shawn’s face after Tracy McGrady, the new face of the organization, ran up and flushed the ball down Bradley’s throat, the whole moment exubarated even more by T-Mac’s legs kicking and the scowl smeared across his face. This was in the 04-05 season, which seems like ages ago. To me, this marked the beginning of the end of any light at the end of his playoff tunnel with the Houston Rockets. The following seasons showed off some of McGrady’s most amazing moments, but when playoff time came, we never heard Bill Worrell holler out “T-Mac to the rack!” again. Instead, we had to settle for T-Mac and his sub-par shot selection. With the free agency of 2010 approaching and T-Mac nonexistent with the Rockets franchise anymore, this moment exemplified the last playoff sparkle I saw in T-Mac’s eyes. The following years we were playoff bound, but it just wasn’t the same. With this moment, not only did he force early retirement of Shawn Bradley, but, even to this day, it shows us all that at one point and time he had that burning desire to really win it all and that is the same desire that I feel the Rockets prove to have year after year.

My favorite 76ers moment was in the 2001 Finals against the LA Lakers. It featured a fierce matchup between two of the NBA’s biggest stars. Kobe Bryant and Allen Iverson. Though the Sixers lost the series. there was one moment with less than a minute left in Game 1 that I still think is one of the greatest moves ever. Tyrone Lue was defending Iverson. Iverson went between the legs, stepped back, and got 2 of his 48 points. Then he finished it off by stepping over the victim of his ankle-breaking play. Game 1, Philadelphia 76ers.

My favorite moment from the New York Knicks came in Game 3 of the 1999 Eastern Conference Finals game against the Indiana Pacers when Larry Johnson got the 4 point play at the end of the 4th to beat the Pacers. When I watch that replay over and over again, you find so many great moments in such a short period of time, not just the 3 point shot itself. For instance, right after that shot goes in, watching every single person in MSG absolutely erupt at the same time gives me goose-bumps and send shivers down my spine, reminding me just how great The Garden crowd can be. Additionally, you see Chris Childs about to tackle LJ as if they had won the game, but he still needed to make the free throw. Watching LJ put his hands out as if to say “Hold on, the game’s not over yet” is very humbling as LJ realized that nothing is given, it’s still a tie game (with the Knicks taking a FT) and there is still about 6 seconds left on the clock. No time to celebrate just yet.

My favorite Bulls game was not any of the MJ moments, not any of last year’s epic 7-game-series with the Celts, not even a playoff game in general. My favorite Bulls game was a regular season game against the Jazz in December ’08, in which I saw Derrick Rose play for the first time in person since he was a junior at Simeon High in Chicago. As he torched Deron Williams for 24 points and led the Bulls to a 6 point win, I realized that maybe, possibly, there was a chance that Derrick Rose will one day be the Windy City Savior and bring another chip back to the Chi. That game, although not significant in the stat book, was living proof to me that I could trust in the Bulls for the first time since MJ left. I have unabashed faith that the franchise will rise again. Bulls4Lyfe.

2006 NBA Finals, game 3 and Mavs are up 13 and there are six minutes left in the fourth. As a fan, this was the happiest I had been all summer. And I remember just looking forward to the next happiest moment that could supercede this one, when the Mavs would bring home their first Finals Trophy. I went outside and shot hoops on my own goal yelling out the names Jet, Dirk, Josh Howard, and Stack and just thinking about going to the Champion’s Parade. Now, we all know what they say about counting your chickens, and we all know what happened in the next six minutes and the three games following the disaster, but at that time with those feelings inside, that was the best a Mavericks fan has ever felt.

As much as I loved AI stepping over Lue, my favorite Sixers moment of all time was Maurice Cheeks highstepping down court and finishing with a dunk to close out the Lakers. I was three years old but will never forget watching that with my father.

1983 World Champs!

The best IN GAME Nuggets moment came in Game 4 of the now famous first round of the 1994 Western Conference playoffs. Needing a victory to stretch out the series to a decisive game, Dikembe Mutombo displayed the heart of the champion epitomized during one remarkable play that shifted the entire series. Seattle’s Shawn Kemp backed Reggie Williams down in the paint before losing Williams with an explosivee spin move to his left, laying the ball up twoard an easy two points. Mutombo came out of nowhere from the weak side and swatted Kemp’s offering, which was recovered by Kendall Gill. Gill went up for a layup which Dikembe also blocked before wrestling the loose ball from Gill’s hands, sending the Denver crowd into a frenzy and decsively stealing the series’ momentum.

My favorite Knick game moment was Allan Houston’s game winning shot to propel the Knicks past the Heat and into the East semi-finals. The shot was the greatest moment of my memory of watching Knicks basketball because it is one of the few last second heroic shots in Knick History and It helped us beat our fierce rival. I love the image of seeing the mob of Knicks chase Houston as his runs down the court unleashing a powerful fist pump. Houston’s shot best sum up my favorite season of Knicks basketball. We had Patrick Ewing, Sprewell, LJ and Charlie Ward and despite the lockout, we made the playoffs as an 8 seed and went on an incredible run to the NBA finals. Regardless that Allan Houston sabotaged our cap from years to come and could never stay healthy; i will always remember him burying that running jumper and sending Alonzo Mourning and Tim Hardaway home.

Hawks. Other when the won it all in 1958, which was before I was born, the best moment for my favorite team was the series in 88′. Forget the series two years ago, the Wilkins/Bird battle was one the best games of all time. The Hawks had one three straight, including game 5 in Boston that had the usually calm Bird annoyed to the point where he spiked the ball at the games end. Going into game 7 Bird was proclaiming a victory for the Celtics. The Hawks flew into Boston Garden to face to powerhouse Celtics in a win or go home game. Both superstars saved their best for last. Nique went for 47, missing only four shots all game. Bird netted 34, 20 coming in the final quarter. In the end the Hawks were grounded, losing 118-116. Nique solidified himself as an elite player and the Hawks were seen as a legitimate threat in the years to come. Watching this game was like watching two heavyweights throw haymakers in a championship bout. It was a history making game that was a treat to watch; and every true Hawk fan should see. Hawks large if you can please.

Mavericks. This team has so much potential, year after year. My favorite moment from the Mavericks was there epic battle against the Spurs. They fought hard and they built a rivalry. Dirk was playing his best basketball and the team was playing with heart. It was a good moment for me, because I got to witness great matches. I sat with my family and watched there games. It was special, and I was really happy when the won in game 7. Dirk won MVP that year, and they made it to the Finals. I was sad that they lost, but i was happy for the team and franchise. This team has developed a lot, getting Kidd and working around Dirk. In the years to come, they will be successful. Koodos to Mark Cuban, who has put effort in making his franchise. MAVERICKS 2009-2010!!
