For me, It's hands down the Lakers-Suns series. That was one of the most amazing things I have ever witnessed as an NBA fan, The intensity and ball play was amazing.- Kobe Bryant hitting the game tying and game winning shots in game 4.-Tim Thomas hitting the 3 pointer at the end of game 6 then giving an obscene gesture to the Lakers bench.- Kobe Bryant and Steve Nash arguing.- Raja Bells clothesline- Kwame Brown slamming Boris Diaw and then standing over him.It was just an emotional and amazing series, I would love to watch it again.
I have to agree with you Tony, the Lakers/Suns was incredible. But I am going to use a different answer: seeing Gary Payton and Alonzo Mourning hold up that trophy. Those two deserved it so much. Payton is one of the best all-around PG's of all-time, and he was a great player. Zo is an inspiration to everbody, and he was a great player, but most importantly he's a phenominal human being. Seeing those 2 guys jumping up and down, smiling, poppin bottles, wearing the Champions hats, and holding up that trophy - that did it for me.
81 points anyone? That was SO amazing to watch. Kobe was just "ON". I remember wondering, "how many points is this guy gunna get?" That is for me, the most exciting thing I remember from 2006.
If you actually watched the game you'd know Kobe's 81 Point game wasn't that entertaining. The whole 4th Quarter all he did was shoot free throws.Note, I'm not degrading his performance. It was probably the heardest feat accomplished in NBA History (Yes, even over Wilt Chamberlin's 100. Every shot Wilt hit was within 10 feet of the rim, whereas Kobe was draining 22 foot fadeaways) and will never be accomplished again.
he shot alot of freethrow's but they weren't all in the fourth quarter. I watched the entire second half and there weeren't all that many FT's. He just basically shot EVERY shot for the lakers. it was kinda sad really, every time a laker got the rebound they immediately passed Kobe the ball and he took it down the court.
The Suns vs. Lakers series. Probably one of the best first-round series' ever. Also, Kobe scoring 81. That will be remembered for a long time.
Ya 81 points has to be the most exciting, he didnt only score 81 points he led a laker comeback, the lakers were down double digits at some points in the game. Another great moment was when Kobe Dunked on Steve Nash, and when Lebron dunked on Delonte West. Those were great moments.

My favorite moment was watching Wade and Bron go at it, Wade with 44 and LeBron with 47 all in one game.
My favorite was when Pierce drained that 3 pointer vs the Wizards in OT to win the game with like double/triple coverage in the corner. And that huge streak he went on. 30 points plus in 13-14 games.Also the game against Indy, which I was at was pretty memorable too. The Wizards thing is at 1 minute, and the Pacers on is at like 1:30ish.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0sJGOHuq9i4

He only shot 20 ft's which is about 20 less than what Paul Pierce averages a game.Wanna talk free throws? Wilt shot 32 when he scored 100.

Okay I'm going to say the Spurs/Mavs series was just great basketball all around. Every game except 1 went down to the wire. Game 7 was just phenominal to watch. Mavs lead all game and then at the end the Spurs take the lead, and everyone thought that the Mavs would fold and practically crumbled late, when all of a sudden gets that 3 point play when fouled by Manu. Just a great awesome game. It really was Dirk's rise to fame in my opinion. In that game I think he set himself apart from those who are all-stars to superstars. Put him in the league of the likes of Duncan. How bout when Kobe and Shaq finally ended thier quarral and made some kind of peace on Christmas last year? I think that was a pretty good moment. I love this moment as well. Where LeBron told Gilbert Arenas that if he missed this next free thow that they would lose the game. Then he misses and the rest is history. Trying to think of some others. :g:
I think Dirk's shot to put game 7 into OT against SA and Raja clotheslining Kobe were probably the most exciting moments for me.Not a whole lot else to say about that, it was just fun to see.

Here's some more I really enjoyed:- Kobe outscoring (arguably) one of the top 5 teams in the NBA, Dallas Mavericks, in the 3rd quarter, 62-61.- Andre Iguodala in the Rookie-Sophmore Challenge.- Vince Carter dunking on Alonzo Mourning. :worthy: - LeBron dunking on Delonte West. :worthy: - Shaq still dunking on everybody. :worthy: - Ben Wallace winning his fourth DPoY award.- The Phoenix Suns proving that they're still championship contenders, even without Amare Stoudemire.- Four out of five Detroit Piston starters participating and playing in the All-Star Game at the same time.- Chris Paul. :aggressive:
