That Wizards/Kings finals finna be lit 🔥

2016 in itself is one of the greatest seasons in NBA history. Kobe farewell season, 73-9, unanimous MVP, wfc 3-1 lead, finals 3-1 lead, believe land drought, Cavs fire their coach hire a new rookie coach and kyrie and Kevin love come back halfway thru the season from injuries, gordan gets robbed in dunk contest

I think 2016 is also one of the few (if any-can't think of others off the top of my head) where you have three singular plays that define the series, those being The Block, The Shot, and The Stop, all by 3 of the winning team's biggest players. Like they all had a signature moment when it mattered most. Granted, K Love's stop is the least talked about, but it's just as important. I think maybe with 2013 you can make a case for Bosh's rebound and Ray's game-tying 3, but I can't think of a third Heat moment in that same game, and Bosh's rebound is also heavily underrated (say what you want about Timmy being on the bench at the time).

We’re all gonna be telling our grandkids bout the 2016 finals

2016 was insane. I was working at my first ever job at Dairy Queen and I went from mopping the floors to just standing there with my mop watching it on this tiny little crappy box tv, had my parents texting me asking where I was because it was an hour after I normally got home...

Perkins injury was definitely huge. As a Lakers fan it was bittersweet. Hate to see someone injured but was definitely relieved. He was a force.

That Roman Reigns theme intro 🔥

Ik lots of people love LeBron, but this video was a DIFFERENT level

Do the Celtics get a asterisk for the 08 ring cause the lakers didn’t have Andrew Bynum?

Man I feel for that thunder team in 12 they still rebuilding

I can't believe y'all put 2014 so low, even below 2019. Yes it was a blowout, but one of the greatest team performances in basketball history.

2019 is my favourite finals of all time. I suspect my being a Raptors fan may have swayed my decision 😂 good list!

you gained 30 subs in the time it took me to watch this video

Having Roman Reigns theme is so good for an intro

These dudes are some Lebron meat riders

2011 all the way. its epic and such a great story of redemption. also if you dont like the big 3 its a good vs evil matchup where the underdog good guys won!

6:35 You need to check your facts. “Dirk was a Perennial under achiever” in the playoffs????? Are you f-in kidding me????? Dirk Nowitzki was always one of the premier postseason performers in the NBA. He only had one bad playoff series his entire career which was in 2007. The mavericks underachieved In the playoffs between 2007- 2010, but Dirk was always putting up huge numbers. He didn’t come out of nowhere….. the Mavs had won 50 games for 11 straight seasons. With the exception of Shaq…..Dirk beat every other superstar in the post season at least once including Kobe, Tim Duncan, Kevin Garnett, Lebron, Dwayne Wade, Kevin Durant, Tracy McGrady, Steve Nash….etc

So looking forward to the wizards kings series

They are mocking Perkins but he was litteraly the center of Celtics elite defense . It shows from the fact that gasol this tall slow scarecrow got 23+ rebs Celtics defence was weak against offensive rebounds and was one of the main reasons they lost in 2010 finals . I don't take the pride away from Lakers . They were incredible and proly deserved the title . I am just putting some respect in the name of 2010 Perkins

Sasha Vujacic's game clinching free throws in Game 7 are a little overlooked IMO for the 2010 Finals. Those were ice cold shots

mad disrespect to 2014 for no reason goddamn spurs deserved it, they had a good story with loss in previous finals, amazing team work, what else you want?

2014 finals was the most satisfying NBA finals ever. RIP Miami Heat Big 3

The Celtics losing Perkins is definitely a big deal. They had Scalabrine get some minutes that game. Still no asterisk though

The Roman Reigns theme song at the beginning is an absolute banger!

2017 Game 4 and 5 was Hype cause alot of people actually thought Cavs were going to come back from 3-0 and for a while in game 5 the game was actually close till about the end of the 3rd. Had they manage to make it 3-2 who knows.

Everyone talks about Ron Artests' three, but nobody mentions the fact that without Sasha Vujacic, two free throws wouldn't have been made that sealed the deal for the Lakers. They were up by four with 11 seconds left and no real chance for a Celtics comeback.

The roman theme song at the beginning slaps

S/o for using the Tribal Chief’s theme

Do the 2000's finals ranked

When Festiv Ezeil entered the game in 2016 it was over. Dude turned the ball over like 4 times in a row and Steve just stood there like this is fine 🧍‍♂️

2016 and 2013 is right behind it. Two best finals of the 2010’s

Hol on was that intro roman reigns’ theme?

2014 finals was like watching seniors in highschool beat up on 8th graders

Yo is the intro song just Roman reigns’ theme song?

Watching this made me realize just how many rings bron could've had 😕

I think the 2020s has been great so far, what about it has been rough? Suns/Bucks, Warriors/Celtics, Lakers/Heat have all been extremely close

Is yalls opening song Roman Reigns' theme?

This whole nba finals and the Super Bowl started with a collage basketball championship and that is the National Championship Game

God damn, bros started the video with Roman reigns music

Also a big stake in that 2016 finals was that, if that the Cavs lost, LeBron would've lost 3 straight finals 2014, 2015, 2016

Cavs fan here. Thinking back at that 2016 finals still bring tears to my eyes. I'll never forget game 7.

putting 2014 at 9th is legit a disgrace. that series is amazing to watch even as a neutral fan

2010s was weak af in terms of finals looking back, like there were only like 3-4 good finals. Also Bron fans overrate 2016 massively, it was a very good performance but the warriors really underperformed especially steph, bogut was injured after game 5, and the only reason it's so hyped up is because the cavs were down 3-1 to a team that literally came back from 3-1 the series before.

i love how the ranking flip flopped until the top 5

I can’t wait to come back to this video in 2040 to say y’all got it wrong

4:44 hahaha as a raps I don’t mind the placement of 2019 series but saying because bron wasn’t in the finals point was alittle weird

Top three finals games of all time: Game 6 '98 Game 7 '16 Game 6 '13

Synthetic sports acknowledges the tribal chief

Ik y’all aren’t Canadians but 2019 finals were so memorable everyone in Canada watched it or at least cared cause of We the north movement

I’m bias cause I’m a Raptors fan but cmon the series was pre good, ik KD and Klay got injured but game 1 3 and 4 where actually pretty good games from both sides

Pretty fair rank if youre a lebron fan😂they just put kobe on lil bit upper to escape hate😂

2014 is one of the greatest teams ever playing some of the best basketball in league history. This is so wrong

2011 series was better than 2010. It had moments forever remembered either Dirk’s heroic game 2 comeback lefty lay up, high arching 3 in game 5 or lebron became the frozen one. Dirk didn’t shoot well and neither did Kobe but Dirk had moments.

CLEVELAND this is for you!

Everyone talks about Ray Allen’s 3, but it doesn’t exist without Chris Bosh’s rebound and pass. And then the block to seal the game in OT. The Heat don’t win that game without Bosh.

MIne: 1: 2016 2: 2013 3: 2019 4: 2017 5: 2011 6: 2012 7: 2015 8: 2018 9: 2014 The 2010 finals is part of the 2000's and you can't change my mind. Also, 2017 is still fun to watch because of the incredible talent on both sides despite it not being close. Re-watch game 1 and you'll understand.

To watch Lebron get death threats returning to Cleveland in 2010, then to seeing the crowd help him up in 2016 when he fell cheering hoping that he’s okay. Dan Gilbert and the entire city forgiving him after maturing to that point 6 seasons after The Decision. A city in ruin with nothing but sports and even that was in a 60 year drought across all sports. Their one icon, the kid from Akron, overshadowed the entire season by the player and team meant to replace him as the face of the NBA. Golden State was appointment television. The first unanimous MVP, 50-45-90 leading the league in scoring and steals while not even playing many 4th quarters. The top 2 scorers ever ushering in a 3 point era that was to change basketball forever. The defending champs going 73-9 with all of their titanic players and coach somehow getting way better after winning the title. Led on defense by one of the best defenders ever, on offense by the best shooter ever, and a coach who played with MJ on the 72-10 Bulls and helped them get their second threepeat. Records broken everywhere, unstoppable at home, and coming off an historic comeback against KD and the Thunder themselves. The Lebron/Steph rivalry, the Warriors Cavs rivalry now with a healthy cast, the 3-1 comeback including two games at Oracle, the Klay comment, the Lebron block of Steph in Game 6 then the “they f-ed up” line in the locker room, the block, the shot, and the stop. The individual performances, the only player to lead both teams in all of the 5 statistical categories for ANY playoff series in the 77 year history of the NBA against this record breaking juggernaut of a team at this stage. The aggregate score of each team being tied going into Game 7 then the most tense 5 minutes of Sports I’ve ever watched. This series had more hype than anything since the Last Dance and exceeded all expectations. The iconic players and teams and plays and moments. The greatest shooting season of all time and Kyrie ended it with a three pointer of his own in Steph’s face while a big man stopped him from tying at the other end. The hug and the Breen calls and the crying… And then everything that happened as a result. MJ decided to start production on the Last Dance documentary. Draymond called KD to make The Decision of his own, on steroids, to change the nature of free agency forever. Going to the 73-9 team that beat you and leaving Westbrook to start an entirely new narrative the next year. The fate of the NBA and sports in general being decided every possession by razor thin margins. An inch here or there determine the fate of North American Sports capping off the greatest year in NBA history - Kobe’s farewell, the Gordon dunk contest, the records, the excitement. It’s so storybook that it should be a blockbuster movie.

It's obvious you guys grew up with LBJ.. Jordan outdid LeBron in a shitload of playoff games. You know they put Jordan at PG for a third of a season and a playoff run in the late 80s when players actualy had positions and he was the best true PG averaging over 30 again and like 35 in playoffs averaging 8 boards, 8assists over that span

2011 all the way for me (obviously). 2016 i can't bring myself to like as much because of LeBron stans. The 2011 Mav run was special and i do love how now people try to downplay it when back then everyone was talking so much shit about that team

2011 mavs were not stacked. Stop it.

2011 is easily a top 3 final OF ALL TIME. The disrespect for it to not be #1 on this list is insane. It is definitely the most earned ring of recent history. Dirk and the Mavs had to go through the defending champs with Kobe, OKC (Durant, Westbrook, Harden, AND Ibaka) and then a completely stacked Heat team with the big 3. The storylines were insane. The aging group of Kidd, Marion, Peja, Terry, and Dirk all got rings here. It was their last shot. Hell, game 2 of that series is one of the greatest comebacks of all time, let alone in a finals series. I know people love their Golden State bandwagon, but 2011 deserves the top spot.

The Washington Wizards vs the Sacramento Kings, in the NBA Finals, sounds fucking disgusting

The Delly disrespect is out of line

2017 LBJ had the best final game EVER? Dude.

for me, 2011 was really interesting. Lets review the entire 2011 playoff rounds. -First Round: #1-Chicago Bulls vs #8 Indiana Pacers: I think everyone remember Rose in his prime time, also with some role players like Kurt, Brian, Luol(who had a 16pts avrg in the playoffs); While pacers 8 seed team was...shit? the indiana next franchise player PG was a rookie(and was 6pts avrg in the offs), i can"t remember a single star name there aside danny. Chicago in 5 with one of the most strange 1° seed teams in the decade. #2-Miami Heat vs #7 Philly 76ers: The miami ultimate big3 vs the role players team, they had iguodala and holiday in his 2° season, i used to like this team. Miami in 5 #3-Boston Celtics vs #6 NY Knicks: This Celtics Team was in the paper, way better then the Bulls, the champions KG, Allen and Pierce, Shaq and Jermaine, Chris Paul Brother, West(not the clutch one) vs Carmelo and Stoudemaire, was a joke this series with boston in 4, WIPE IT. #4-Magic vs #5 Atlanta Hawks: i really miss the early 2010's magic, but beside Dwight in his prime time, the rest is kinda okay. The hawks was a really cool team, with big al, zaza and jamal, AND THEY WON IN 6 GAMES, was the greatest series in the first round of the eastern c. continue in the next

As good as the Lakers/Celtics series was it shouldn’t be ranked higher than 2011

George hill deserves more blame than Jr smith for losing game 1 2018

Giannis most definitely has the best defensive play in history now. It's EXTREMELY close though.

2016 had a lot of moments

As a Cavs fan I am also a kd hater

Kinda sucks that 2015/16 was the GOAT nba season because that was the first season I watched completely from beginning to end and I know it’s never gonna be topped 😂

To say nobody cared about the 2019 finals because there was no LeBron. Bruv that’s why people cared about 2019 because there was a new and fun team that beat the warriors

1. 2011 2. 2013 3. 2016 4. 2010 5. 2015 6. 2019 7. 2017 8. 2012 9. 2014 10. 2018

1. 2016 2. 2013 3. 2010 4. 2011 5. 2019 6. 2017 7. 2012 8. 2014 9. 2017 10. 2018

Even tho LeBron is my favourite I will always cherish 2019 since my hometown finally won something in their misreable sports lifes. Least I was alive for 1 year of Toronto not being total sports embarrassments.

Nothin will ever top the 2016 finals for me. Nothing ever 💯idc that moment sealed lebrons legacy forever.

2016 was kyre and bron what are u talking about?

I don’t think your giving the 2017 finals enough credit even though the warriors won 4-1 it was only 3 games in that series decided in the final minutes, also the game 3 4th quarter the Kevin went MJ mode leading the comeback in the 4th hitting all the shots down the stretch & hit that 3 in Lebrons face to go up 3-0 the cavs were up 9 with 3 minutes left, that cavs team was the best team Lebron has been on now 2018 was horrible but 2017 was still a great finals the cavs beat the warriors by like 30 in game 4 those teams were not that lopsided that’s a huge lie💯

☝

I will forever stand on 2016 being the most overrated Finals of all time, obviously incredible storyline and an All time Game 7 but Games 1-6 fucking sucked

All I know is 2016 and 2013 are the best. Either one can easily be 1A or 1B. Personally I go with 2016 Everything else is second place.

1. 2016 2. 2013 3. Everything else…

Go Spurs go 2014 the best finals of the decade

Algorithm comment

3:32 4:20 4:30

These guys really gassed up the 2011 Mavs as “stacked” and gave Lebron a pass for losing with a superteam in their prime.. smh Lebron Stans

Top 2 is 2011 and 2014. Dirk showed that you can win champs with only 1 super star. 2014 because that was the most beautiful basketball with all that passing.

You’re delusional if you think lebron was winning in 2014 lol

Best NBA Finals series of the 2010s for me... 1. 2016 2. 2010 3. 2011 4. 2013 5. 2014 6. 2015

That 2016 finals is the most overrated finals in history literally every game was non entertaining besides gang 7….. side note this was just 2 Bron stans making a list of why Bron is so great when he wins and how he has excuses when he lost and why the finals that didn’t have Lebron weren’t that good becuz they didn’t have Lebron smh

Bruh they had a whole overtime to still win. I'm not hearing that J.R. talk no more. Bron could've still went for the win in overtime but he pouted instead and gave up.

Calling the 2016 Finals the best series of all time is laughable when every game was a blowout except for Game 7. That's easily the most overrated Finals series in history. Literally everything had to go right for the Cavs to win. Iggy and Steph coming into the series injured, Draymond getting a bogus suspension, Bogut getting hurt and Steph fouling out in Game 6. And btw I'm not even a Warriors fan but that series is not as great as people claim. Game 7 is the greatest game ever though, I do agree with that notion.

Yes he slowed him down u simpleton she shot 38 percent from the field smh 🤦‍♂️ and a lot worse when iggy was on him sheesh like fact check smh 🤦‍♂️

On Lebron's meat a bit too much

Best to worse imo 1.2016 2.2013 3.2011 4.2010 5.2019 6.2015 7.2014 8.2017 9.2011 10.2018

I like your guys's stuff a lot, but this video felt kinda weird. Most of the list you were just saying reasons the series weren't higher up, how they weren't great, etc. And then at the end, it was a lot of "greatest X in NBA history" which is crazy recency bias. Like, I totally get not being alive and watching in the 80s or 90s, but take a step back a little and appreciate things without needing to say it's the definitive best lmao.

2016 narrative was amazing but the games where poop except for game 7 imo. 2013 better

The list order was pretty good. I personally think the 2010 game 7 was better than the game 7 of 2013

besides the fucking bubble how has the 2020s gotten off to a slow start

Bro said he only can name the ron artest shot in game 7. Bruh Ray Allen shot 7 threes in a quarter that series. Kobes heroic antics in game 3. Its a lot more memorable than you think it is. More than 2016 for sure.
