NBA's 60 Greatest Playoff Moments: #27

[zaxmack]

This was one of the best games in Playoff History...it should be higher. What a Duel!

[brian27610]

FREE BIRDDDDDDDDDDDD

[gelomination231]

Dominique disliked it

[8MRD8]

The celtics still have the same uniforms to this day...

[GunterJPN]

I thought I was watching what greatness is all about when Bird did his hand-switching layup?

[MrGleenCross]

Should be higher.

Bird looks like a blond Hitler =)

[1PedroAmor]

They've missed one game - 1995 IND ORL Game 4 Conf Finals, 4 lead changes in the last 13.3 sec with Shaq fouled out. Penny, Reggie, Smit etc best playoff game finish ever

[albypingu]

The only thing bird missed was that high-five at the end with mchale...ooops!

[yourbudjerry]

This should have been top 10... Those guys were unconscious that game. Afterwards, Dominque said Bird came up to him and said it is a shame that one of us had to lose. This was the game seven when the Hawks had missed their chance at eliminating the Celts in game six at home...Bird threw the gauntlet down by predicting a big win for the Celtics...then despite Wilkins "game of his life"...delivered.

[meridiantelekoms]

Man! Bird's strength and physique is really deceiving,

[MrWebster822]

It's funny because starting at 33 seconds, that shoving by nique would've been a foul in today's game.

[nbarapper]

bird is very ugly LOL

[1kyd]

Top ten clutch player all time

[rkoguy]

Dominique Wilkins was the 1 person who disliked this video lol

[eaterofcandy]

Man, what's with Boston having all its luck with getting great White forwards. First Larry Bird and then Brian Scalabrine.

[Valeron21V]

you are watching what greatness it's all about

[Stevenelow]

Nique doesn't get enough respect.

[wiseman2024]

That is one ugly stache.

[Angelslover9]

this or bird steal vs pistons is number 1

[AngeloVicencio]

the same "what greatness was all about" line. even the same tone of voice.

[mrbriscoe2001]

Anybody who watches a replay of this game finds out how much better it was than just these highlights;an incredible duel that started ,I believe late in the 3d quarter with so many more incredible shots..

[hitop109]

I REALLY THINK LARRY BIRD IS Underrated!!!!!!!

ALOT OF PEOPLE DONT EVEN KNOW WHO HE IS!!!!!!

ITS ONLY JORDAN KNOW!!!!!!

[hushg2000]

@hitop109 Is just you man! Does of us who grew up in the 80's & 90's clearly know who the Bird man is! Jordan,Magic & Bird will never be forgotten!

[TerraXD001]

Does anyone know the music in these videos pf playoff moments..?

[s001til]

Dominique was the truth. I love how people compare him to other greats and say he was only a "good". Imagine if his sidekick was Scottie Pippen or James Worthy. Nique had Doc Rivers and Kevin Willis.....but I still loved Doc and Kevin in the 80's.

[ChrisnSnoop]

@s001til

You're so right. People always mistake Nique for just a dunker, but he could literally do everything on the floor. The jumpshot, the incredible banks, the post up, the drives, and of course the monster jams IN TRAFFIC. He really had the full package, and this game proves it. Great series/duel/rivalry, the Hawks deserved to make it to the Finals at least once during that stretch, but Larry was great too and had the better team.

[Angelslover9]

what a match up. Dominque was never a nba champ

[MrSlik25]

Dominque Wilkins is extremely under rated...The level of competition he played against has to be taken into consideration...and he and only he could rival Jordan in the Highlight Department.

[patsman191]

That was a great game Larry Bird vs Dominique Wilkins that was a hell of a game. Celtics and Hawks had some great series's

[SinJackal]

finally a non Lakers moment. Too bad it's another Celtics one.

[ashland1977]

What do you want? nets highlights? lol

[SinJackal]

Anything other than seeing the same team in more than half of the videos. If Nets actually did something besides lose, then sure. There's no reason to show a greatest moments video for every single Lakers championship. . .and half their conference finals wins too. Pointless, and annoying to people who don't like the Lakers. It seems as if the Lakers made this top 60 and made sure to put themselves in half the videos.

[lasoogneypubes]

@SinJackal

Sorry man, but if they were great moments they were great moments. They can't help that they were an amazing team. Maybe if all the other teams were as good as them, they'd have more playoff moments good enough to put on this list now wouldn't they?

[SinJackal]

cute, except the Celtics have had more championships than the Lakers, and have less than 1/4th of the amount of "greatest moments" videoes.

And by definition, a "great moment" that happens dozens and dozens of times, is no longer "great", it's simply expected. Greater moments would for example be where a small market team wins their only championship overcoming great odds to do so. A great moment is not when the highest payroll team wins yet again (Yankees, Lakers, etc).

[bigboycory2]

0:24 WOW

[rokmc23]

Wow . . . how many times will Larry Bird appear in this series? . . . Bird truly a great player . . . better than Magic Johnson that's for sure . . .

[the1sin]

seriously whats so memorable about this its good but its not that memorable

[taliesen1953]

greatest duel EVER in the NBA...to watch it live was amazing.....they traded shots for the whole fourth quarter..one better than the next.......should be in top 10...easily

[ncconv]

for once the white man beat the black man:P

[Adrain30]

@ncconv no, great player beat a good player

[2000VinceCarter]

@ncconv white people are as good as the blacks ...

[ncconv]

@2000VinceCarter they can be when they wanna but im just sayin it IS predominatley black league and MOST superstarts are black. white players can be just as good/ greater if they choose to be but most whites tend to stick to baseball/football. some of the leagues greatest players have been/are white: steve nash, pau gasol, larry bird, kevin mchale, pete maravich, dirk nowitski, jason kidd, bill walton, manu ginobli, the list goes on...

[2000VinceCarter]

@ncconv yeahhh

[TheDelaney401]

@ncconv lmao ginobli gasol are axctually from argentina (ginobli) and gasol is from spain, thety ARENT caucasian, also, dirk is actually german lol look it up, steven nash is actually canadian look that up too lol...lol just cause their skin is white doesnt mean they are white lmao....but

[ncconv]

@TheDelaney401 dude before u come at me get ur facts straight. i am fully aware that gasol is spanish, dirk is german, nash is canadian and that ginobli is from argentina. caucasian is a RACE of humans. they are native to Europe. The europeans settled all across the world. The british to Canada(nash) and the spanish and portuguese to argentina. ur so ignorant that u think caucasian means you have to be american. you dont have to be american . non of the players i listed above are american....

[TheDelaney401]

@ncconv lmao ur such a stupid fuck go fuck a duck cracker:p

[lcfcrthebest]

@TheDelaney401 You really need to find a dictionary and look up Caucasian. I mean I know some dumb people comment on these things but jeeeeez, ur really something else. Oh and by the way, 'they' does not have a t in it. You complete and utter fool.

[TheDelaney401]

@lcfcrthebest YOU A DUMB ASS CRACKER!!!!

[TheDelaney401]

@lcfcrthebest you a dumb ass BIOTCH. shut yo cracker ass up and educate urself about sports. dotn know what the fuck u talkin about.

[kklol7]

@ncconv For Bird, it was a commonplace. This wasn't the only time.

[DOw0rkk]

@ncconv White Power!

[LILE1534]

@ncconv Lol.

[mmabuff101]

@ncconv actually im pretty sure that happened for at least a thousand years

[JONmanIStheBEST]

@ncconv we've beaten them many times...... no disrespect hahaha

[Piter800]

@ncconv Larry is not white. Larry is transparent

[drumass666]

@ncconv Larry Bird's not White. He's light-skinned.

[samtheman7975]

@ncconv u forgot about dirk beating "the big 3"

[toomuchfails]

@samtheman7975 That comment is two years old

[tjackolantern]

hell of a matchup

[Alex052480]

not an IMPORTANT game?? umm it was game 7 of the east semis!!!...lol. n yo BIRD WAS A BEAST, .. BEST HAND-EYE COORDINATING COMBINATION  basketball player EVER!....

[therightstuff90731]

Larry Bird the Legend - Great!

[whiiteheat777]

The ridiculously low rating of this classic duel between fellow hall of famers justifies my belief that the nba is run by complete morons1

[TBlake34]

It wasn't an important game, I think that's why it's low. If this happened in the finals, or even a heated conference finals, it would probably be higher.

[hermom2]

Dude, this was Game 7 of the Eastern Conference Finals

[TBlake34]

It says Eastern Conference SEMIfinals in the description.

[hermom2]

oh, sorry bout that lol, but its still kinda of a important game

[perry455]

bird kinda looks like a old western cowboy dosn't he?

[oaken444]

brawlin' Boston.

[astrosfan611]

What is the name of this song?

[bkruse92]

shut the fuck up astro

[hoagly]

this should be higher imo

[sarnow76]

@hoagly That's the first thing I thought when I saw it was 27.

[ElephantRage]

Nique is so underrated! Can you figure Pippen scoring 47 in Eastern Conference Semifinals Game 7 and single handedly carrie his team for 48 minutes? I don't, and I'm a Bull fan since 89.

[lilmizze5]

how ever thought a bunch of white guys could beat a bunch of black guys in basketball

[jaboo82681]

the closet Domonique's been to a NBA championship

[Brian211978]

A game 7 with a 2 point victory...ONLY #27??  WHAT THE HELL?

[RAMMSTEINERD]

I think he meant ceiver as in like a remote control?

[FuturePBABowler]

Dominique's best game by far.

[Electronicboy1]

what i say everytime i hear this. wtf is a seeber?? lol

[THEGREATMIAH777]

he said saber. like a sword. "its a duel, put down your saber"
