My favourite game from this year was Raptors vs. Blazers. That was just crazy. My favourite game that I've seen live was Suns vs. Lakers in what I think was Game 4. It was the one where Kobe Bryant stole the ball and shot the running shot to either tie or win it. My memory dissapoints me. I just remember that it was an awesome game though.
My favourite NBA game was when VC came back to TORONTO for the very first time..the game had a playoff atmosphere and everyone was involved the whole game. Even though I think we lost dont really remember, it was really exciting to watch.
Celtics vs Nets -- 2003 NBA Eastern Conference Finals. Game 3.the best game I've personally seen...there have obviously been greater games in history but from a personal point that was the best I saw

Anyways, I can't think of any great games that really stand out right now.By the way, I think it should be games people have seen because why would someone have their favorite game be one that they have never seen.

Can't remember, did he leave the game injured or something, because he played in that game....?And Jordan scored 45.
2000 I think Lakers down by 16 in the forth and the balzers choke and the Lakers come back to win it. Shaq's face after he caught an ally opp dunk to take the lead was amazing
If I remember correctly Pippen missed game 5 in 97, Jordan, with the flu or a hangover, kicked the Jazz ass for like 45 points and hit a game winner, but it wasn't "the shot"as for favorite games:Games I've been to in person:1-Jazz-Lakers in 1987. the first game I ever went to and my first taste of the NBA. Magic Johnson had a horrible game and I thought he was the worst player ever.2-Rockets-Jazz. John Stockton sends the Jazz to the NBA finals with a last second shot.3-Jazz-Nuggets. Jazz come roaring back from 35 down to win the game.4-Jazz-Spurs. John Stockton dished out 28 assist5-Jazz-Heat. triple OT thriller which was decided because of a fight and the ensuing technicals.Games I seen on TV, or watched fully on classic sports or video tape.1-Suns-Celtics in 76. Greatest game ever, nuff said.2-Bulls-Lakers in 91. Jordan dominates as the Bulls win their first title.3-Warriors-Grizzlies from like 97. horrible game all around, but the bad play still made the game a good one to watch, and it was quite entertaining. I think it went to 2 OTs and the finals score was in the 80s.

I co-sign with you Lakaboy.
Lakers vs 76ers in 1972, it was the first live game I ever went to. Lakers won, 154-132. Wilt (who was my favorite player at the time) had 30 points and 33 rebounds. It was the Lakers 25th win in a row.

I remember it like it was yesterday. New Jersey was up 21 points at the end of the 3rd quarter, the game was a complete blowout. We were turning the ball over, taking bad shots, not making anything, playing terrible defense, and New Jersey was running us raggid on the break. Well, during the break between the 3rd and 4th quarter, Antoine Walker adressed the entire team. He yelled, he cursed a little, he let the team know that we couldn't be completely embarrassed like this in front of our own crowd. We needed to prove that this team was for real, and that New Jersey was NOT going to walk all over us. Well, thanks to Antoine Walker's speech, it motivated the entire team. Paul Pierce went on a rage and scored 18 points in the 4th. Result: the Celtics win the game by 4.Man... GREAT times. I'd kill to have the tape of that game, but it seems like nobody in the whole damn world has it.
