Top 5 best layups in NBA History

[couldNOTgetaname]

allen and iverson are the shit (talkin bout ray) and dr js is the best

[billsgwn]

The Iverson layup shouldnt be anywhere near the top 5 or 10. The rest are nice and the Dr J layup is one of hte most amazing and memorable plays in history.

[TheBigdaddypickle]

really ray allen i can do a better reverse..

[TobiasDawg]

Allens should be the number 1!

[Geranimofool]

what about kobe's triple clutch?

[sauce556]

None of Vince Carters innovative 360 layups included.FAIL.

[buebchenRecords]

Don't you forget about B-Roy against Raptors? Switching HAnds Layup.

[ThePersonauno]

wat is the name of this song??



[yudirty677]

@ThePersonauno Kanye West ft. Young Jeezy - Amazing

[ThePersonauno]

@yudirty677 thanks a lot..

[RandmW0rld]

i still think Dr. J's layup was the best



[asyo27]

jordan's hand switch lay up is the best lay up ever...because it was originally made by him

[Bmomo56]

Dr. J's is #1

[R3DSTUDIOS0009]

they were all the same but Jordans was the best

[nikkiwannabeSONE]

no.5 is wat kobe does almost every game -.-

[ahchiang5229]

where is nick young 360 up and under layup?

[horgeee]

these lay ups were almost the same everyone of them...

[qwertyasdf233]

nick young 360 up and under should contend

[ldsmithson]

Ray Allen defied gravity, even in his old age.

[jumpfar4ever]

the dr j one shoulda been first

[BoneDog1215]

the iverson one does not belong here. derrick rose does that everyday of his life

[SHARPSHOOT3ER]

whats this song called again?

[Philweezy661]

@SHARPSHOOT3ER Amazing - Kanye

[seandleahy]

I hate the Celtics but the Ray Allen layup was the most difficult and amazing.

[UrbanFrostfromXBOX]

Your Welcome

[LAMEXAME]

Jordan has had like a million sick layups. You can do a top 100 with MJ layups!

[Patriot4444]

The Jordan layup in the Finals against the Lakers was the one I was looking for. FAIL.

[blindspirit]

MJ's layup alone was the Top Best 5 layups in history.

[wingersx]

jordan dr j n kobe is the best

[megatroll]

I agree with #1. (It's obvious)

But you should have made the effort and include another angle of that layup. Seriously, from all moves I've seen from MJ, this was definitely the one that made me question reality.

[annegelo999]

The Music reminds me of Chris Smoove

[WesleyWNYC24]

@annegelo999 Amazing - Kanye West

[92TEXASZ]

it was in the correct order because Kobe did it while 3 people was guarding him and Jordan switched it up 2 times instead of once.

[thug8200]

KOBE'S IS NUMBER 1 NO DICK RIDIN I MEAN 4 PEOPLE

[xxAzZa32xx]

no disrespect to iverson but i've seen derrick rose do that layup many times it cant be a top 5 layup

[DBand3]

@xxAzZa32xx agree 100%. Derrick Rose can do that layup in his sleep. i also think that #3 should be #1, and Jordan's layup be #2. those two layups defy possibility

[charlesHBKWWE]

Maybe this only top 5 to what you've seen

[elmagicomessi]

1:09 Epic

this is why kobe is the greatest

[lorenzo4210]

i think dr. j's was the best

[23mgab]

Right about Gervin, and Julius is by far number one ... Monta Ellis had some great also.

[mrdunks25]

wtf is iverson on this list there has been soo many better in "history"

[mason1291]

@mrdunks25 this is about the lay up not the player lol

[theindianan]

if this video was redone today derrick rose would have all five

[samauribrown]

MJ doesn't always have to be #1 in everything u kno...

[venuecam]

Best layup OAT was MJ vs AC Green - switch hands. You must've been born 15 yrs ago.

[venuecam]

"This video is the property of KARILLIO..."

NBA Entertainment will be contacting you to clarify that statement.

[HackerRepublik]

Lebron travelled

[soundsfromthestreet]

#5 is just a textbook reverse. not really amazing

[nanahara1125]

More like Top 5 best double clutch layups from one side to the other side in NBA History

[tiktakxd]

wheres the iceman... jordan... magic... cmon...

[chasecolts10]

number 2 got anymore guys for kobe?

[tkcwu]

This is wrong, Top 5 are all MJ and 1 Doc J PERIOD!

[NBAisBack89]

What about every layup by Derrick Rose? When it comes to layups i think its safe to say that there is Derrick Rose and then there is everybody else.

[092bwe]

Soooo many d rose one that could take over this video now

[9arn]

Nice Ray Allen's

[Dman34565]

Should of have one of T'mac's reverse layups instead of iversons

[007Freshprince]

U Suck

t

[TheFunnyJohn]

ever heard of monta ellis? derrick rose?

[kyubi948]

the name of music please

[StopSignRobot]

@kyubi948 Kanye west- Amazing :D

[kyubi948]

@StopSignRobot thanks =)

[StopSignRobot]

@kyubi948 No Problem :P

[Scrugge]

Only 2 of the 5 should be there M.J & Dr.J...

[AryanPersianProdigy]

Such a biased video. You can tell the KID who made this never watched Jordan or Gervin. Jordans layups were at times unreal. He had tremendous body control and was able to adjust his body and fight through contact to make contested lay-ups.

[XxCrazywowxX]

kk so Allen Iverson does any up and under lay-up and automatically gets number 5? Anyways have you ever heard of Michael Jordan or George Gervin?

[EGarrett01]

Jordan 1991 layup is overrated because it wasn't necessary. Jordan thought someone would challenge him up there but no one did. Dr. J's is #1 because it was totally one-hand and the full extension makes it look so sweet.

[asyo27]

@EGarrett01

its not overrated, might be not necessary at all to switch hand lay up..but man only michael jordan invented this move, as julius erving one hand reverse lay up...all lay ups listed in video are common during jordan's era so not really best lay up of history

[xTnT87]

Dr. J's famouse one hand layup. Cmon now!

[Mavadowataclad]

the 1st one was a walk

[asianguy2100]

Dr. J  ;)

[TheZaranation]

what Kobe did was just ridiculously hard

[jayjoetube14]

Where is Brian Scalabrine's layup?

[jayjoetube14]

half blocked triple pump by ray allen

[TheCbta14]

i had a feeling Jordan was gonna be in this....

[crushingallday1]

ray allen??? please

[Trollificusv2]

Dumb to argue ranking on those awesome shots. Allen's and Irving's were especially impressive, Allen's because Gasol had that shot completely blocked for what looked like two full seconds and he brought the ball all the way back down like he was gonna try to pass it back out. Dr. J's because he took a solid hit from Olberding and most players would have been looking for a place to land out of bounds...then that long arm appears on the other side of the backboard and WTF??? (game camera angle)

[abraham52495]

wow you have clearly never watched vince carter clips

[KWeber38]

dr j should have been 1

[m14closerangeSniper]

D-rose should be in all of them. lol



[231994C]

Kobe tirou o time do San Antonio inteiro da marcação, a melhor!

[iriepacificsports]

No way Kobe is number 2..Ray Allen was better than that. MJ 1991 lay up has to be number 1 becuz of the stage of the NBA Finals and how he did it vs. the showtime lakers!, besides mj had a lot of great lay ups, like the one vs michael cooper in 1990 that was insane!. to this day i still havent seen anything like that. Im gonna locate thta for you on youtube. i seen it somewhere lol

[psychedization]

@iriepacificsports Definitely kobe is on number two..he passed through 4 Spurs defenders..and fooled 'em..Ray is nowhere compared to him..

Jordan's swtiching hands lay-up should be no.-1.

[iriepacificsports]

@psychedization I disagree Kobe should not be number 2. George Gervin's lay ups is better, Dr. J had some sick lay ups, Connie Hawkins, and in all honesty imo MJ probably has arguably all top 5 lay ups of all time, then everybody else. That one vs. Knicks shaking starks over Ewings back,,cmon! The other one where he floats bumps the guy in the air palms the ball, could of jammed it, but didnt, smooth lay up, and then there is this..

[iriepacificsports]

@psychedization MJ uncanny palm the ball lay up vs. Mike Cooper 1990 1:05-1:17

you tube search this: Bulls At Lakers Feb 7 1990 Magic Johnson vs Jordan

[keepruning1225]

what is the name of the song

[MrSmileyFull]

Well, I must say these are pretty amazing layups, you've got my like, i was about to dislike if there wasn't thee number 3 layup by George Erving, i'd say it should be number 1. @J0HN119 That Jordan ''Layup'' wasn't a layup, it was actually a Runner.

[theilladelphian]

dr j under the backboard famous lay

[lujavana]

missing pistol pete

[MorrisLumbantoruan1]

could somebody tell me the title of this background song? its so inspiring

[231994C]

@MorrisLumbantoruan1 Kanye West - Amazing

[Besidhoum]

first of all, the first two are OK. One on one situations, where kobe, dr. j, and MJ were vs 2 -3

[DrIshaq98]

the moment i opened the video, i knew micheal jordan was number #1 but i thought it was the switch hands one

[lilaznballaz1022]

I hate things that are "top #" , Esp if they're in "HISTORY" People have their own opinions, fine, but it should be stated, cause majority of us can agree, there are MUCH better ones than some here.

[afifmazlan]

#5, seriously??? almost every pg in the league can do that

[shaqattack69]

/watch?v=CYKnyZL2sGE this ones better than most of these layups 

[theFuturetrojan]

Aside from #3, Jordan has had 10 better layups than the rest of the 5. Nick Young has even had a few 360s that were better than most of these.

[0076robert]

#3 was definitely the greatest of all time

[Yidanakan]

@0076robert totally agree

[djole94]

might as well say top 5 reverse layups , bitch

[OfficialNBAlegend]

really iversons and allens you see every day

[TheBigdaddypickle]

@OfficialNBAlegend i know d rose does better layups all day

[Talialckaraberis]

the spark during the eastern conference finals against chicago 90's

[dave474c]

Ever heard of George Gervin?

[12intensity]

@dave474c

hes the master of the finger roll layup

[Horaceutube]

@dave474c yeah! where is iceman?

[4hugo4driver]

i think #3 is the best :)

[ottoomori]

song?



[jameywcll]

Where is Rod Strickland? Perhaps the best of all time at putting it in when close!

Look it up!

[xDisasterzFear]

#5 Derrick Rose does that all the time.

[MonstarENG]

Michael Jordan with the... Quadruple Clutch Layup? WTF!? Only MJ.

[Rahulrocks1569]

i was expecting jordan switch hands to be #1

[EmBritoMusic]

Vince Carter 360 layup vs lakers?

[Geschlechtsvolzieher]

Dr Jay should be no1

[Teheehaha7]

how is erving's layup not number 1

[Jdoug92]

PLEASE go attempt to jump from one side of the key and get the ball to go in on the other, then tell me how Erving's layup is not #1

[1ChrisToth]

McGrady looked pissed off.

[MarkTMacMcGrady]

Are you kidding? Look up Tracy McGrady reverse layup against pistons when he played for the Magic. It was a playoff game...one of the best reverses ever.

[TracyCoffey]

julius ervings should be number 1 and a lot of players have done jordans and kobes but hardly anyone can do dr. j's

[XxKingAssassinatexX]

HOW IS JULIUS ERVINGS LAYUP #3!!

[J0HN119]

Jordan layup at 1991 finals where he switches hands?

[laviek2]

@J0HN119

yes it is...

[Robinqq11]

@J0HN119 I think the video maker meant the top 5 greatest reverse layups . Hence that one wasnt counted.

[Trollificusv2]

@J0HN119

Loved that. It was especially nasty because it was so "in yo face", like "I don't even HAVE to dunk on you losers.", like "I can make this five different ways...which do I choose?"

I watched that game and it was electrifying, an exclamation point on one of those Laker "We really ARE a lot better than you." runs.

[thepakibye]

@J0HN119 to be honest that Jordan switching hand layup is way too overhyped. He did not have to switch hands...His layup in this video is a lot harder and better

[MrJanrodney]

@thepakibye I agree with you

[ConcaCon]

@thepakibye

It was pure cheese but you gotta love it. The one in this video is simply freakish.

[Patriot4444]

@thepakibye

Did you see it when it actually happened? You had to be there.

[thepakibye]

@Patriot4444 u live in a cave or something bro? theres something called technology. there is something called a camera which records live action which people can see at a later date. As u can see in the video "jordan switches hand layup" u can see that it was unnecessary. 

[Patriot4444]

@thepakibye

Michael Jordan Switches Hands for Layup

Look that up. Were you even alive in 1991? If it wasn't for technology I wouldn't be here typing to some moron. STHU.

[flyhigh1123]

@thepakibye that's the reason its hyped up! he doesn't have to switch hands but he did, just for shows.

[Kingjd87]

MJ's famous hand switch against LA was the best layup his layup here was nothing compared to that.

[KOBEandCAMBRIA24]

i agree, i guess, with 3, 2, and 1. but 5, and 4 hahahahahaha.

[Klassickk]

LOL @ allen iverson that shouldn't even be in the top 10 people do that move all the time

[xx0talis0xx]

Dr. J should be number one...

[Tunknatar]

@xx0talis0xx no look at michael jordans layup

[MrJpk741]

it's close but i kinda like kobe I mean it was against almost the whole multi championship winning team most if whom are great defenders but they're all good

[lilzay94]

I wasn't even sperm yet when Dr. J did that, but even i know that it should have been #1.. that shit was legendary

[ejnbmx]

ITS AMAZIN!

[missemosuperstar]

MICHEAL JORDAN #1 NO ONE DOUBT IT! BECAUSE HE'S #1 (I'm sorry, I get excted over basketball)

[Zachowako]

@missemosuperstar Jordan is my favorite but you got to give #1 to The Dr.

[missemosuperstar]

@Zachowako Nah! Jordan all the way!

[thenomeer]

Does anyone hear any autotune? Cause I don't

[MIGBruce2014]

dr.j's 1, jordan's 2

[tothebeaty0]

NUMBER 2 is sicckkkkkk, i dont care about number threeee =)

[amsterdamforeverful]

wow

[Bmomo56]

3 should be one

[TheWheels777]

I watched number 1, the Bulls vs. Nets game, live on TV when it happened. It was the greatest shot I've ever seen. Everybody was talking about it the next day.

[paulmontemayor]

JORDAN JUST FLEW

[BurtonRider98]

if you look closely, kobe actually traveled. HAHA

[TheBaseLion]

F**ing shit! Dr J - №1, no doubts

Where is MJ`s vs Lakers???

Allen is good, but there were much much harder shows

[xprorunescape]

wow ray allen good layup

[anoriginalname397]

Put number 3 on number 1, derrick rose does stuff better than the other four nearly everyday. What about the one where mj switches hands? I guess it's a matter of opinion, but 4 of these layups don't deserve to be on this list if you ask me.

[BigSAK88]

the hell is iversons average layup doing there... you see that kind of play of a daily basis

[Eaglesfan5296]

dr.j should be #1 no question



[yogd4life]

also lebrons layup against dwyane wade where he goes behind the backboard is pretty sick and better than iversons and ray allens in your video.

[yogd4life]

im pretty sure 2-3 of jordans layups should be top 5....ur list is way off!

[thecharacter163]

Dr.J should be 1 not 3

[BfromSD1]

Man, that Dr. J shit is overrated. I did that shit at the local gym last week.

[bobcatfan358]

@BfromSD1 you`re a pathetic ....ok ok then who is no.1 in your opinion ?

[BfromSD1]

@bobcatfan358 I'm pathetic because I can do the same layup that Dr. J did? LMAO, ok. #1 in my opinion is the one in this video. The Jordan one against the Nets.

[MrDecember91]

No Gervin, no video

[Karceno4Life]

you were right about number 1 watching that live was crazy

[buck02111]

Ray Allen's layup was my favorite!

[negetivekreep]

Check out George Gervin aka "iceman's" classic finger roll over Cooper,Magic and kareem.

[crazy51348]

damn

[Issaquan5]

What about at Vince Carter's 360 layup?

[rednbluejr]

KOBE and MJ ALLDAY.

[schnitzeltruck1]

erving at 3?

[Njnetsfan15]

No love for VC's 360 layup :V

[yaiqab]

Jordan's top five layups are better than all the other layups on this list BY FAR other than Julius's.

[hillboyz420]

i seen better
