<div class="quote_poster">Quoting Avery:</div><div class="quote_post">Bird steals the ball and KJ makes the layup.</div> You mean DJ (Dennis Johnson), right? Great move, of course. My nominations for great clutch plays (the most important type) in NBA history: - Jerry West's 80-foot buzzer beater to send the game into overtime in the Finals (Lakers eventually lose the game and series). - MJ's steal and game/championship winner in 98 against Malone and the Jazz. - Reggie's 8 points in 13 seconds against the Knicks. - Robert Horry's 3-pointer at the buzzer to stave off elimination against the Kings (eventually win the series and go on to win a championship). - MJ's "The Shot, Part I" against the Cavs in '89 -- a buzzer beater in the deciding game of the series to send the Bulls into the second round.
