What was your favorite nba finals game in history?

Of all the finals games you ever watched, there had to be one that you consider the greatest. Which one would that be? I happen to have two: 1974 Celtics-Bucks Game 6 (If you never seen it, you should, it was TERRIFIC), and Game 6 of the 1998 Bulls-Jazz Finals. What is your best Finals game?What was your favorite nba finals game in history?Man...too many to pick just one.



Almost any game from the Bulls "three-peats" is up there.



GM 1 of the 1992 series vs. the Blazers and Jordan's 6 three pointer half was a great one.



GM 1 of the 1995 NBA Finals was awesome. Nick Anderson missing 4 foul shots, and Olajuwon tipping home the game winning back in OT was awesome. Game 4 of that series was great as well. Watching the Magic basically submit in the last 2/3 minutes was hard to watch, but at the same time it was great to see the entire Rockets crowd celebrating with that much time left. Olajuwon even knocked down a 3 pointer down the stretch.



GM 2 of the 2004 Finals was great. Kobe made an unbelieveable shot to force OT and took over from there giving the Lakers their only win.



GM 6 of the 2008 Finals was just so shocking and such a brutal beat down of LA it just sticks in my mind. I mean 131-92? Kobe 7-22? Game 4 of that series was also great. Celts 24 point comeback.What was your favorite nba finals game in history?1997: Michael Jordan - 38 points, 7 rebounds, 5 assists with the flu in decisive Game 5 in Utah

Bitten hard by the flu bug, Michael Jordan was so ill some speculated that he wouldn't be able to play in Game 5 against the Jazz in Utah with the series tied at 2-2. Jordan fought the Jazz, dehydration and exhaustion (he could barely walk to the bench during timeouts) -- and won. Jordan turned in another masterful performance with 38 points and seven rebounds, sending the series back to Chicago with the Bulls up 3-2 in the series. Two days later, the Bulls won their fifth title in six years.What was your favorite nba finals game in history?In my opinion the greatest one I ever watched live was watching the Lakers get blown off the court by the Pistons the year they were supposed to win it all with malone and peyton joining Bryant and o'neal. It was so sweet because no one thought the lakers could be beat and it was the first time Phil Jackson lost in the finals.
