I like the list...I'd have to agree with pretty much all of those. For me....I'd rank it: 1. Kobe's 81 point game 2. T-Mac's 13 in 33 3. Lebron's dominance in Detroit 4. Carmelo's 33 points in 1 quarter in 2008 5. Rockets 22 Game Win Streak
Hakeem during the entire 95 playoffs run.....the most incredible performance on both ends of the court by a single player during an entire playoffs run. It was legendary and I still feel blessed to have witnessed it as it happened.
If you're talking about seeing games in person, my list would be very short. I've lived in Austin for the last 32 years. If watching games on TV is included, well that's a different story.
Then Ok! Here's a couple. Game 7 of the 1981 Western Conference Semifinals, with Calvin Murphy going off for a career high 42 in the clinching victory. Murph was unconscious. Some think he still might be. Game 1 of the 1981 Finals, when Bird made one of the most incredible shots I've ever seen, going out of bounds, switching hands, and hitting the bucket despite being behind the backboard. Yes, that play. I thought we had that game in the bag, and Bird refused to lose, the b*stard. Robert Reid played defense on Bird about as well as someone could during the series, Moses was amazing, but Boston was simply too good to lose.
Game 3 1994 Western Conference Semi-finals. Houston Rockets @ Phoenix Suns Vernon Maxwell. The man REFUSED to let us lose and kept us from going down 0-3 in that series.
Great list! I also think Bird's left handed game was amazing, just because of the sheer arrogance to do such a thing and still put up astronomical numbers.
