Answer 7

10. February 2003, Michael Jordan scoring 43pts with the Wizards. At around 40 yrs old and scoring that much?!

9. The acquisition of the Big Ticket- A well-recieved and deserved revival to one of NBA's legendary franchises.

8. 100pts of Wilt Chamberlain. The greatest single player offense. The next best is behind by 19pts. Incredible.

7. 81 pts by Kobe Bryant- Scoring this much nowadays is impossible. Especially with no OT.

6. Lakers beat the Spurs through Derek Fisher's Miracle shot.

5. Magic Johnson's last All-star game- signified a new generation and the closing chapter of the greatest PG.

4. Willis Reed making a comeback to the Knicks in the Finals- One of the many past Knicks glories. Forever remain historic as the Knicks won that game and the Finals.

3. Michael Jordan flies from the free-throw line into superstardom at the Slam Dunk Contest- His well-remembered competitions against Dominique is still echoed in many Slam Dunk contests.

2. Michael Jordan pulling off the famed buzzer beater against the Cavaliers. Still reflected in NBA clips.

1. Jordan's last shot as a Bull. The crossover on Russell and a mid-range swish. The victorious end of a true champion and athlete in dramatic fashion to complete another 3peat.

I basically see these moments as the most memorable and great ones for me as growing through the 90's and watching some in youtube. I see Jordan defining most of the nba moments in the past decade with Kobe carrying the torch now.

An honorary #11 moment would be, in my opinion, the greatest upset in playoff history with the #8 Warriors destroying the powerful #1 Mavericks in an electrifying Bay Area.
