2003-2013 Nothing about the Rockets tho because I'm sure all of us have them. Just the Commentary after the Dunk makes this dunk 10X better. <iframe width="560" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/uRAp00SxP30" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> 3:50 - 6:21 DWade stares at hand and make sures his team doesn't lose. <iframe width="420" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/ePZAj9ffagA" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> Two of my favorite moments that I can remember watching on TV.
I honestly can't remember a moment that surpasses McGrady's 13 in 35, but since no Rockets... - Kobe's 81 points - Lebron's Eastern Conference Finals Game 6 in 2012 - Warriors over Mavs in 2007 Playoffs - Lebron's Eastern Conference Finals Game 5 in 2007 - Heat vs. Spurs 2013 NBA Finals - Steph Curry 54 points vs. the Knicks in 2013 Man more, but those come to mind.
Lots. But the only thing I both watched and kept on disk to this day was every game of the warriors mavericks series.
The two other texas teams. <iframe width="640" height="360" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/gXrTFwZ0K2g" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
I wasn't a big basketball fan until the end of 09 season so I can't really say those are my favorite moments. I used to just watch basketball just cause. I think the moments you don't forget are the ones that are the best. I always remembered that dwade game against celtics cause I hated the celtics lol. I'd add the game 6- Miami vs spurs for my own. My least favorite was Paul pierce faking injury and coming back to win the game.
Taking the Lakers to 7 games in 2009, with Yao, Scola, Brooks, Artest, Chuck, Carl, Kyle, Shane, and crazy Von Wafer. Second round, and we damned near pulled out the series win! Yao with his last great games, the big fella and the rest of the team scaring the hell out of the Fakers. No other team took them to 7 games that year. We had the worst luck with Yao, dammit. Oh, well... a new era and another chance at greatness.

2007 Finals for sentimental reasons. Had some bad times around that period, some family deaths including my dad. Its generally most boring finals of decade. But Spurs were my family's favorite so it felt good that a rooting interest came through for morale reasons. There's Celtics big 3 finals win over Lakers and MVP Kobe who at time had a "gift wrapped" Pau Gasol. Then there was Tom Thib on Celts who kinda validated that Rockets had a good approach when he was in Hou but just had bad luck. Lakers would win next 2 titles still, and Garnett, Rondo and Doc Rivers became more varying degrees of douches, but it was a good story at the time. Warriors playoff uspet over Mavs was fun fun. And made greater when Baron Davis poster dunked Kirilenko and the lame Jazzholes who beat the Rockets previous round. A lot was going on in '07 really. Thats also when Lebron went god mode and scored his team's last 25 points all by himself against Pistons in conference finals, against best defense in the East. Guess I can toss in the "Cupcake Dunk". Maybe not best pure dunk contest but most entertaining one for a while
