⚡ 5 Most Iconic Moments in NBA History

1. Jordan's Last Shot (1998)

Game 6, NBA Finals. Bulls down 1. Jordan steals from Malone. Dribbles up. Pushes off (or didn't, depending on who you ask). Pulls up from 20 feet. Swish. Bulls win their 6th title. Jordan walks away. The perfect ending.

2. LeBron's Block (2016)

Game 7, NBA Finals. Cavaliers vs Warriors. Tied with 2 minutes left. Iguodala on a fast break. LeBron chases from behind. Pins the ball against the backboard. The Block. Cleveland wins. LeBron cries on the floor.

3. Kobe's 81 Points (2006)

January 22, 2006. Lakers vs Raptors. Kobe scored 81 points. The second-highest single-game total in NBA history. 55 in the second half. He couldn't miss. The Raptors couldn't stop him. Nobody could.

4. Allen Iverson Steps Over Lue (2001)

NBA Finals Game 1. Iverson hits a jumper over Tyronn Lue. Lue falls. Iverson steps over him. Stares down. The most disrespectful moment in Finals history. The Sixers won Game 1. The Lakers won the next 4. But that step-over lives forever.

5. Kobe's Final Game (2016)

April 13, 2016. Kobe's last game. He scored 60 points. At age 37. On 50 shots. The Lakers came back from 15 down. Kobe scored the last 15 points. "Mamba out." Mic drop. The greatest farewell in sports history.
