It was luck though

@@samuellang4403 as if nearly all of these plays don’t have some kind of luck involved? You wanna tell me Leonard’s shot wasn’t lucky? Lol.

@@samuellang4403 it was not luck lmao do you know how much hand eye coordination those guys have? Look up Crosby puck skills or zegras warmup and then you can offer your opinion

If its just luck why arent u in the NHL then?

Some people don’t understand how hard that is too, that shot is about 80mph or faster

Makes sense. I was like whoever made this list likes hockey a lot

Thanks

Not really what I was thinking. Because that shot decided the entire fate of the playoff run by the Toronto Raptors that season. Kawhi Leonard and his amazing contribution to the team led the Raptors all the way to the NBA title.

Well it is the only buzzer beater in a game 7 in NBA history and it sent them to the Finals

@@markloroff It sent them to the Conference Finals, not the NBA Finals. Trust me. I'm a Bucks fan. I sadly remember quite well.

#1 in my book. The whole country rejoiced

Outside of home team broadcasters, it's probably the single most spine tingling call on a sports play I've ever heard.

@@icedo1013 “AUBURNS GONNA WIN THE FOOTBALL GAME!!!”

@@TheCaliKing100 Even just reading it gave me the shivers. The pure disbelief and euphoria in his voice is what I think all of us sports fans want to experience at some point.

*kick six

They’re Canadian. TSN is the Canadian ESPN. That’s why all the hockey and Canadian things.

Was it a “Top 10 Play”, or a “Top 10 Crazy Ending”? Didn’t seem like the play itself was too impressive compared to the skill of some of these on this list.

@@killa2488 I mean, the #10 play is clearly the best "play" in terms of difficulty IMO, and kick six should be there (even if it hurts my feelings)

@@peterhuycke1857 I don’t think that’s the clear best play for difficulty

@@elephantwaffle5612 I overreacted because of how low it was placed, definately higher than 10 though

Fr bruh I saw the obj catch at 2 and I was like oh what is #1 gonna be? Should’ve known and yet it still hurts me to see that shot

it hurt so bad. did not see it coming

I knew the instant OBJ was 2. The factor that made this play so much better is the clutchness

@@Christian-nf4nl unpopular opinion, OBJ doesn't make that catch without those gloves. Go Birds

Subjective

Killa, I feel that!!! I played D1 baseball and we could condition with the football team to stay in shape for baseball and I had OL tracking me down in some drills….scary how they’re so big but so fast…..effing nuts!!!

I know nothing about football, so can somebody please explain to me why they were passing between eachother? I though you couldn’t do that 😅

@@mdbp69 You can throw the football backwards, called a lateral, and that is legal. If you were to throw it forward after the line of scrimmage (where the ball is snapped) that would be an illegal forward pass. It was the last play of the game so they had to try everything and it was a miracle that they were able to get a touchdown and win the game.

Fat guy: runs You: WHAT AN ATHELETE!! you people are insane!!?!

How does that play in a meaningless game make the list but the Butler int that changed the destiny of 2 teams doesn't?

That was #1 in my opinion. Just AMAZING!!

Me too since I'm a Cowboys fan. I think the Cowboys ended up winning that game.

Greatest regular-season play in the history of the league. And that's not just me talking -- that's the league talking.

I was at the game

me too, it was a pretty boring game till that point if I remember lol.

So did I. I think it was the only non-Patriots SNF game I watched that year - what are the odds?

Definitely fired the big gun!!

Subjective

While it was a good play it only happened because the defender make a bad move, hence why it's not a top 10 play of the decade.

Exactly that is even higher on the list than the Miami miracle on nfl top 100 plays of all time

@@nickgage1953 same thing could be said about the Miami play so i don't get your point

I'm not saying that everything on this list belongs, I'm just saying that that play doesn't belong for that reason.

Ryan Cirella and ovies on his back goal

And the 2016 ws

@@yeahyeah1755 That was 2007

That’s a different decade that would be part of 2001-2010 since this one was including the past decade of 2011-2020

@@Bartaaron04 actually, 2006.

Wish I could like this comment a second time.

Sorry we couldn’t give the little sports more plays

@@notsauer baseball isn’t a sport 😂😂

@@julioalvarado2536 everyone you’ve ever met in your life could score a couple baskets in the NBA, everyone you know could catch a ball from Tom Brady or might get lucky and defend a pass or two from him on defense...... no one you’ve ever met at any point in your life could get a hit off a professional pitcher, not your Gardner, not any teacher, none of your cousins, uncles, everyone from your neighborhood, the best player on your high school team, the best player on your college team, none of them. If the worst pitcher in the MLB faced the best baseball player you’ve ever met in your life 100 at bats, he would strike out all 100 at bats, and it wouldn’t even be competitive..... that’s how incredible professional baseball players are. You are a fool.

@@CliftonLee33 baseball isn’t a sport and just because baseball is “hard” it doesn’t mean that it’s a superior whenever it’s just old white guys keeping it alive.

Subjective

It was great situationally but the play itself wasn’t anywhere near this caliber

@@samkonstan2333 yea like i dont get why its so overhyped lmao. the moment for sure but the play itself is a guy making a mistake and missing the tackle

Missed a tackle to save the game, it's happened way more than people think. Sure it was to win but not the biggest game of the year. That's why it's not very high on any list EXCEPT Viking stans. Maybe on one or two lists.

hell nahh

And also that second "trouble with the snap," the start of the TCU dyn... oh, wait...

two-ronto?

BLOCKED BY JAMES!!! Absolutely belongs here, it's iconic

This is TSN, so I’d assume it’s biased toward Canadian sports/teams

Why would an intern be choosing the plays on this list? Lol

And the Minneapolis miracle

While those 2016 plays were big moments, the game wasn't over yet. The buzzer beater in this highlight ended the game. But yeah I still think putting that as #1 is too much

even funnier, it wouldnt even make it in a list of top ten goals by Zlatan

Right lol those weren’t even the top NHL plays during their years

Between 5 and 6

12

F LeBron

What is the real #1? Not trying to troll, genuinely curious!

@@wombocombo365 Kick Six that ended the 2013 Iron Bowl. Look it up if you haven't seen it. It's still jaw dropping.

Well college sports shouldn’t count, not all those players would go to professional level.

@@julioalvarado2536 bad take. A play is a play at all levels

Bro ray allens was insane but keep in mind that ray allen is one of the best 3 point shooters of all time, and kawhis was buzzer beater to win it in game 7. Thats crazy for someone who isnt known as a 3 point shooter

It depends on opinion, but the majority of people consider the decade to have ended in 2019. Scientifically, 2020 would be the last year of the decade, as there was no year 0 when years first were being counted. The first ever decade was year 1-10. But decades have become a cultural phenomenon (for example, the decade of the 90s was from 1990-1999, not 1991-2000, 2000 wasn't part of the 90s, it's part of the 00's) and that's ended up being the majority opinion in society, and especially since sports is a cultural thing as well, I imagine they were counting the decade to be the 2010s, which would be 2010-2019.

@@linollieum3742 I agree with what your saying about the culture but if we are going with facts then the culture is wrong. Since my comment was more to do with the fact that the last year of the decade 2020 was a special year where a lot of interesting sports plays and moments happened

That was in 2021

@@name7892 oh yeah! Well, I expect it to be there in the next "plays of the decade" highlight reel. 😄🥏

You mean 10,5,&4? Leonard from the corner absolutely belongs

I would put Lillard against the thunder on this list over that

@@Captain_Kirk_4 You've gotta be kidding. There is absolutely no contest there. Kawhi's shot is 10x more impressive.

Not at all.

Plays of the decade being 2010-2019, eh?
