VIRAL Moments in NBA

these are the 20 most viral moments in NBA history and first up the entire world came together to watch LeBron make history has it 15 ft away from the goal LeBron for the record he got it LeBron James is now the all-time leading scorer in the history of the NBA a lifetime of hard work and it all boiled down to a single shot 225 million views later and this historic moment is the most viewed regular season game ever and for 19 Curry makes a shot that nearly sends the announcer into a coma they do have

a timeout decide not to use a curry way down to bang bang oh what a shot from curry with 610 of a second remaining this man pulled up from range and hit a game winner with a defender in his face however Kawhi Leonard threw us all for a loop at number 18 and what would you like people to know what about you um I'm a fun guy uh obviously I love the game of basketball um I mean it's just more question you have to ask me um in order for me to tell you about myself

I just can't give you a whole spill I don't even know where you sitting [Music] at and once Kevin Hart found out my man went bananas do you have any comments to what just happened and once Hart started losing it 27 million other people follow suit but the only thing more shocking than kawai's laugh is a man's dance move cuz Shaq started a dance off and it ended with 39 million views [Applause] man Shaq you got to teach me some of those moves yet the 2020 NBA Allstar game made highlights for a completely different [Music]

reason Star Spangled never [Music] yet and this performance was so earpiercing that the warrior decided to make it Their Own remix basketall when Fergie gives you lemons the Golden State Warriors give you lemonade but in 20122 Giannis also tried to make lemonade see the bucks came into the playoffs with high aspirations they were number one in the East and fans thought they were destined for the NBA Finals but out of the blue a guy named Jimmy shocked everyone over the top to buler up in Timmy buler and overtime in game five Jimmy Butler runs a

little bit of a circle cut looks like he's going to go to the corner circles back and it's a law play before long the heat had completed the unthinkable yet Giannis wanted to remind his supporters that there was still light at the end of the tunnel you do view this season as a failure oh my God uh we you asked me the same question last year Eric okay uh do you get do you get a promotion every year on your job no right so every year you work is a failure yes or no no every

every year you work you work towards something towards a goal right with which is to get a promotion to be able to uh take care of your family to be able I don't know um provide the house for them or take care of your parents you work towards a go is not a failure it's steps to success but what jiannis didn't realize was that press conference would blow up overnight soon athletes from All Sports caught win I I've been in that position um and I could feel the frustration I knew exactly how how it is

like that success is made up of of a ton of failures you know you you fail far more than you do succeed sometimes people are complacent when they're asking you questions uh how does it feel to be failing you know there are no mistakes there aren't any lessons I keep saying you can't always win it's not how you fall it's how you get back up it's how you you show up a day in day out and train and continues to try to get to whever it is you're trying to get to which is obviously the

top yanis spoke from the heart and taught us all a lesson but not everyone falls short cuz in 2013 one lucky fan had the chance of a lifetime his name was Michael Dr all that stood between him and a life-changing amount of money was a single halfcourt shot then this happened in the yellow sweatshir he just won $75,000 with a halfcourt hooker mind he probably enjoyed the hug by LeBron more than the money wow this fan walked away with a fortune and a be hug and when asked what was the best part of it Michael

didn't hesitate what was better The the shout out from LeBron of the $75,000 Jes is a greeting yeah I wanted to meet him that was I look forward to at least doing that know probably not make the shot but meeting King James is greatest does it get any better than getting Tackle by your idol well the 52 million viewers certainly don't think so but Allen Iverson got a chance to take it a step further he didn't just Embrace his Idol he had the chance to go toe-to-toe with him and AI was only a rookie when

he found himself against Michael Jeffrey Jordan but rather than backing down from The Challenge he did something even MJ couldn't do iers has Jordan the crowd is into it Allen shakes fre gets to well the crowd loves that but that's who's coming hold up how's MJ going to let a rook disrespect him like that yet MJ wasn't about to cry about it the great ones always know when to respect game I'm never a type of guy that says you know I can't get CH up I just try to limit those opportunities we never know if

we have to play a one-onone game I think he can beat me on the perimeter but I can take him in the PO uh but he's a HEC player he's a young talent and I think he's going to continue to get better once he learns how to play the game on a much higher scale that's enough to make a grown man blush but number 12 has me blushing because in 2014 I had the opportunity to watch Young Steph Curry against an experienced black mamba and you already know Kobe wasn't going easy on the kid he

was about to show him what real defense looked like only Steph was more than ready for the challenge and price is three for four other than that I don't think anybody's at 50% who dang bro 20 million people just watched Kobe slap Steph in the ass and Steph lowkey enjoyed it so he wanted to remember it forever I went right back in at halftime I was like I need that clip like bring me that back I got to sa that on my phone although Patrick Ean wishes he never sees moment 11 ever again because he

found himself tasked against MJ's right-hand man Myers for Pippin oh a faithful Scotty Pippen in the face of Patrick Ying who did not appreciate [Applause] it nah that's cold blooded this man violated Patrick euwan then told Spike Lee to take his ass to New York City and at number 10 it's the return that had everyone entertained because when KD left the OKC the entire world went into shambles you know why I I don't want to burn this jersey is it out of respect to you no it's not out of no respect lighter fluid is worth

more than this jersey I don't want to waste no lighter fluid cuz your jersey doesn't worth anything anymore this is trap this is trap if I could rip oh it might rip I might be able to rip it oh wait I'm not strong enough Plan B Plan B let's go let's go rib it rib it trash trash trash it's all it's all trash you're all trash you're all trash one year ago OKC nearly defeated the 73 and9 Warriors and now this man was joining the team he just lost to that's some serious snake likee Behavior

Kevin Durant heading to the Golden State Warriors how are you viewing this move from Durant well I'm viewing it as the weakest move I've ever seen from a superstar plain and simple that's just the how I look at it and this decision was so shocking that he didn't even warn his teammates in fact my man did the opposite it wasn't because Kevin Durant left it was how he handled it according to what I have been told the night before Kevin Durant flew to the Hamptons and the other four Dudes eagle dollar Draymond Steph and Clay

met with him Kevin Durant had dinner with Russell Westbrook Nick Collison I think Royal Ivy but I'm not sure and literally looked Russell Westbrook in the face and told him I'm not leaving I'm staying and then went to the Hampton and announced that he was going to Golden State first he chokes in the playoffs and then he forms a super team by lying to his old teammates this lore went crazy but pton Manning wasn't about to let him off the hook cuz he made a joke and advertised their tension for the world to see and

our gymnastics team was so dominant that Kevin Durant told me he wants to play for them next year man this bro wanted all the smoke but so did Luca cuz this man's got so much Charisma it gained over 42 million views on on YouTube seventh in the league in scoring at just over 28 points a game and he's already dang bro got that baller Riz but for number eight Gorgon dragic took a trip back to the Stone Age and once his teammate saw a dinosaur up close they were [Music] terrified these NBA players Act all

tough but deep down they were literally shaky but Kobe isn't the one to take anyone for granted because in 2009 his team basically had the championship in the bag they were the NBA's best team all season long and the Orlando Magic came into the finals as massive underdogs but Kobe didn't see it that way his team won by 25 in game one only to run it back in game two yet this man hadn't even cracked a smile and lowkey fans were getting concerned are you not happy or you're only half happy or still to be

happy about you're up to job's not finished job finished I don't think so it was at that moment that the world witnessed what Mamba mentality is all about this man wasn't about to celebrate until the job was finished and with a chance to close out the series that became painfully obvious ready to celebrate a championship there's the final seconds as the buzzer sounds it's official the Lakers are NBA champions once again La wins the 2009 NBA title Kobe Bryant his first final MVP really the only thing on his resume that was not present chills bro

this dude won and did it the right way little did Kobe know his speech inspired generations to come the job is not finished Mama the job is not finished we obviously know the job's not done always go back to you know the famous quote of Kobe Bryan you know the job's not finished we understand what's at State the job is not done it's simple job is not finished seriously bro how can you not be inspired however will we ever witness something as inspirational as the 2016 NBA finals see most of us know the story The

Game's two biggest stars LeBron versus Curry Cavs versus Warriors and headed into game seven the fate of the world rested on 48 minutes 48 minutes to either cement the warrior status as the greatest team ever or 48 minutes to win the Cavs their first ever championship and with only 2 minutes remaining neither team had separated itself this was until Andre Iguodala went on a fast break and one player's heart allowed him to make the biggest play of his career the curry back to Gala up for the layup oh blocked by James LeBron James with a

rejection no one wanted to win more than LeBron but the Warriors weren't going anywhere and if the Cavs wanted to win it was up to their offense that's when Kyrie took the ball and never looked back one-onone Irving puts it up it's good Kyrie Irving from downtown gets him one-on-one lows him to sleep forces a late contest that's a big time offensive play by Kyrie One S go flick of the wrist and Kyrie cemented himself in NBA history his shot didn't just win a championship but 31 million people got to watch Kyrie's clutch genan in

full effect however that's still only the second most watched NBA game of all time but before we reveal the most watched game in NBA history it's time for the commercial that put all of the commercials to bed [Music] [Music] and since 16 million people watched the first commercial the NBA decided to run it back but with a Twist there [Music] go d ity yes but that's still not enough to overtake our fourth moment cuz when Kobe went out in 2016 fans knew they were losing an all-time great only Kobe didn't want to steal the spotlight

so Shaq forced it down his throat Kobe they're doing a big celebration for you the last game a lot of us are going to be there can you promise me one thing what's up I need 50 that night can you do it last the last home game at the Staples can you give us 50 uh no no absolutely not 50 points a your final game this dude's 37 years old but if anyone was up to the task it's Kobe Bryant only not even Shaq knew what was coming next Kobe nice number two a lot of

energy every night he gives him a strong move Kobe to the basket oh pretty Kobe oh gets a two he's got 24 after that last two to seeking Kobe for three yes 45 Bryant on the move with the jumper he oh five 58 [Applause] points 60 first 20 then 30 then 45 and before long my man was at 60 only Kobe didn't realize at the time but he had just won up this Idol compared to MJ Kobe's farewell performance had 75% higher ratings and his viewership was 130% higher this dude came into the league hoping

to be be a fraction of the player MJ was and he finished a lot closer to Jordan than anyone would have anticipated today Clips with Kobe Bryant's final game have surpassed 45 million views but with only three moments remaining it's the video that crossed over 85 million views on YouTube see I mean why are they running into each other why is Martin Matt Barnes doing that it doesn't make any sense to me unless he thinks he can entice Kobe Bryant to get thrown out Matt Barnes thought he could mess with Kobe but this man doesn't

Flinch and Barnes thought this moment would come back to bite him but in instead it did the opposite um I was actually supposed to go to Toronto for a multi-year deal um but then Kobe hit me hit me up one day on the phone I've been a Laker fan my whole life you know and the fact that Kobe called me up like anyone crazy enough to with me is crazy enough to play with me I'm just like I got to go back to Cali and play with coob so that's what I did can you imagine

getting a call from Kobe personally asking you to join his team I don't think it's humanly possible to say no so he teamed up with the man who couldn't be pranked but it's even harder to throw Michael Jordan off his game especially in the NBA Finals see the 1998 finals were different MJ had won before but never like this that's because this was Jordan's final season on the Bulls and the whole world knew it meaning the Utah Jazz wanted nothing more than to send MJ home with the biggest L of his career but to do

that the Jazz had their work cut out they had to win games six and seven and in the final moments of game six the Jazz were minutes away from setting the series to an all or nothing game seven but they made one crucial mistake they gave MJ too much time Jordan open Chicago with the lead Chicago BS have won their sixth NBA championship call it a push off call it an easy shot but to me this is greatness but for our top moment it's only right we revisit Lyn sanity a story like no other Jeremy

Lynn experienced one of the wildest Journeys to startom in NBA history after going undrafted in 2010 Lyn fault tooth the nail just to make the summer league at one point this dude was literally sleeping on his friend's couch but that's when he got a call that would change his life the injury riddled New York Knicks were offering him a non- guaranteed contract with path to legitimate playing time so on February 4th 2012 Lynn finally got his opportunity against the New Jersey Nets that's when Jeremy Lynn proved all the doubters wrong Jeremy Lynn drives and finishes

nice play from Lynn a little two man game backs it in to Lynn Lynn flips it up and puts it Ed jemy L pressuring driving to the basket does it again he has been superb Jeremy ly knocks it down clock at eight splits the defense again gets to the rim pucks it in and a foul wow 25 points seven assists and one massive W however the Knicks were going to need a lot more Firepower if they wanted to turn their season around New York had lost 11 of its last 14 and that's when Lynn struck

again Lynn gets around Jefferson looking and backs it end fields fields to Lynn Lynn reverse backs it in Jeremy Lynn on the drive right to the basket the move back to Jeff Lynn with a jump shot knocks it down Lynn splits The Defenders gets inside Lefty L puts it in keeps it alive Lynn has to put it up a three-pointer as the shot clock expired 28 points this man is a machine yeah his biggest test came just a few days later it was February 10th and Lyn's Knicks were facing Kobe's Lakers an average Joe against

an NBA icon that's when the legend of Lin sanity was officially born front line when he penetrates L shot knocks it down a three-pointer Lind will shoot again knocks it down development he'll get there quicker knocks it down tough turnaround shot gets it to go 16 points for Lynn likes the Open Floor spinning puts it up and Bs it in to Lynn Lynn fakes pull up jump shot knocks it down Brown wants him puts up the two-pointer puts it in with 31 Lyn for three bang 38 points against your idol safe to say bro not

sleeping on his friend's couch anymore but just when fans thought Insanity couldn't get any crazier it did fans on their 5 four win for the win got it a few weeks ago he was unemployed and now he's dropping buckets on Kobe and hitting game winners on Valentine's Day and once the NBA took note it was already too late the Knicks went on to win 10 out of the next 13 games to keep their playoffs hopes alive but that's not the only time from hitting your head on the backboard to carrying your team to the NBA

finals these are he's not human moments
