Greatest NBA Finals Moments Front Cover Actor NBA Movie Details Language English Audience Rating NR (Not Rated) Country USA Color Color Plot 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 Personal Details Seen It Yes Index 600 Collection Status In Collection Links Amazon US Product Details Format DVD Region Region 1 696306008521 Release Date 10/10/2000 Nr of Disks/Tapes 1
