This goes for single plays only.Here is my list:- Michael Jordans crossover on Charles Oakley and John Starks, which he then followed up by dunking on Patrick Ewing.- DR J's wrap around layup against the Lakers in the NBA Finals.- Vince Carter jumping over 7 foot center Fred Weis.- Michael Jordans triple pump layup against the Nets.

I would say that Jordan's triple-pump layup vs. New Jersey is my favorite of all time though. That was just stupidly unbelievable. To be able to menuver (I know I didn't spell that right) around 3 guys and stay in the air that long, and still convert on a layup on the other side of the basket before your feet hit the ground.... :worthy: Others I love:- Jordan over Ehlo- "Here's a steal by Bird! Gets it over to DJ who lays it up and in!"- About 200 different passes by Magic lol- Fisher in 0.4 (even though they didn't start the clock when they should have, still sick)- When Kobe Bryant windmilled in Minnesota. I mean he jumped from the right side of the basket, windmilled underneath the hoop, and slammed it home with authority over 3 Wolves. Incredible.
dr j's behind the basket reverse layupI guess I have to say jordan's shot against utahreggie miller's shots - all of themthat one handed block where the guy jumped up blocked the shot and kept it in his hand - sick playjordan's block on ewingnot in a game - but carter's 360 windmillsteve francis bounce alleyoop to himself - even though it was a travelbird's rebound of his own shot and still in the air left hand putbackhavelichecs steal - havelichec steals the ball!!! havelichec steals the ball!!!birds behind over the head backwards pass to mchale for a dunkhakeems turnover then following the stealer and blocking his shot into the cheap seatshakeems dream shake on david robinsonshawn kemp's dunks - all of 'emthe 720 baby!he jumped over his head!!!

He also caught it one handed too, right?<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>amare over the kandi man</div>That was crazy, but what I liked most about it was Marbury's face after the dunk! Haha
VC over Zo this past year. I remember watching the game, saw VC put it behind back and no one in front of him but Zo, and though to myself, "Showtime!" Needless to say, it was probably the best poster dunk I have ever seen (I even prefer it to when he jumped over Weis).There have been so many great plays, and everyone else has pin pointed the best.
Two Come to Mind:-Larry Bird's steal against Detroit. Perfect execution, proves that you can never be lazy in basketball.-Michael Jordan going for the dunk with the right hand, and then switching it up and laying it in with his left hand, all in mid-air.

When Jordan put that move on Bryon Russell, moved back and sunk the jumper to win it. I saw it live and went crazy. Best basketball moment for me, ever.
I'll go with ones that I actually saw live.Kobe's shot against Portland to tie it up. He pumps a couple times, moves his foot, jumps away, throws it up from 25 feet with a hand in his face, splash.Dwyane Wade block and bomb from the other end of the court. Even crazier because the block was on Amare.Smush Parker, jumps up, has someone take his legs out, starts to flip, throws the ball up, lands on his face and the ball goes in.Oh, and how'd I forget.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LzsvbheXscg
<span style="font-family:Book Antiqua">- Kobe's two buzzer beater shots against Phoenix Suns to lead the series, 3-1.- Vince Carter's 360 lay-up foul.- Vince Carter's 360 lay-up foul against Lakers.- Shaq breaking the entire hoop, backboard and all as a rookie.- Jerry Stackhouse's four-point play in the Finals.- MJ's two handed block as a Wizard's member, where he basically snatched the ball in the air.- VC dunking over a 7'0" Fred Weis.- Hassan Adam's recent lay-up against the New York Knicks, where he got fouled.- The Circus (from And1) dishing off a 360 pass... Tremendous!- Air Up There (from And1).. any dunk he's ever done... Amazing!- LeBron James dunking on Damon Jones.</span>
Also Dwyane Wades block on Amare followed by a 3/4 court shot made as time expired.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y-PWYq1wrdsAmazing!

This play wasnt really amazing but it was so incredibly clutch that I have to list it. When Sean Elliot hit the 3 pointer from the corner against the Blazers in the 99 playoffs. His heels were out of bounds and it was the game winner as well. I went nuts.
