The intensity and drama of the final series of the National Basketball Association each year is perhaps the most exciting conclusion of any sports season, with its seven-game series of East versus West. Some of these championship games linger in the mind and ingrain themselves into popular mythology, games that were heart-poundingly close or peppered with moments of unsurpassed excellence: buzzer-beaters, overtimes, Herculean individual performances, the victorious underdog, and the comeback. Greatest NBA Finals Moments reminds us that in the short history of professional basketball, there have been countless instances of these unbelievable achievements. Take for example the 1970 New York Knicks team, who managed to defeat a far superior Los Angeles Lakers dynasty (which included Wilt Chamberlain, Elgin Baylor, and Jerry West) without their season-long MVP Willis Reed. Or Isiah Thomas of the Detroit Pistons who fought valiantly against injury and excruciating pain to score 25 points in the third quarter of an important game 5 versus the Lakers' second-generation dynasty of Magic Johnson, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, and James Worthy. Detroit may have lost that day, but the sheer tenacity and brilliance of Thomas is still spoken of today. Interviews with NBA superstars Sam Jones, Larry Bird, Paul Westphal, Michael Jordan, and many more set the tone for this compelling retrospective. It is only fitting that the concluding shot in this documentary belongs to the man who redefined the concept of last-minute heroics. And if you can't guess who it is, you definitely need to watch this video. --Jeremy Storey

Kids love it April 23, 2008

My kids watch this DVD in my car over, and over and over again. All of these highlights took place before they were old enough to be fans of the game. They now know all about important NBA finals moments.

As a child I grew up adoring the Los Angeles Lakers and the NBA. I almost adopted basketball as a second religion, watching and analyzing games and players while also trying to teach myself the game. However, there were those moments where even the stingiest of statisticians had to just sit back and watch. This video exemplifies those moments. From last minute (or second) heroics to complete and utter domination, this video covers the pride and passion for the game of basketball with the talent and tenacity of those who contributed to making it something special. The years of Finals games that were recorded visually are had their special moments where certain players or teams stepped out of the shadows and broke the mold to dare and accomplish mighty things. This is a teaching tool for those who want to be an avid fan and is a source of validation for those who already are. The average fan gets to see only what is present, but this video helps re-establish the legacy of the past as well as setting the stage for future surprises. For the past couple years in the NBA Finals, I contemplated that those majestic moments of sheer will and desire had passed as the game deteriorated into slugfest after boring slugfest, offering only the comfort that stars of character like David Robinson and Tim Duncan achieved their ambitions but never offering an insight into what makes the game worth watching. Then, after this year's Laker's/Pacer's series, I was consoled with fine basketball and the hope that another 100 greatest plays are in the making. Until that compilation is constructed, however, I still love to see this movie and re-live the previous one hundred.
