3)Big Shot Bob against game winner vs the Sac Queens (2002)

I was there too lakerRD, with my dad. I remember when that shot fell through, the silence was bone chilling. I remember seeing Micheal Cooper falling in a weakened state flat on the floor.

Bone chilling is a perfect way to describe it. I remeber just being stunned. Sampson just flicked the ball up toward the basket, almost a backward shot, and the dang thing bounced a couple of times and then fell through the net.
I also remeber Coop just collapsing and the silence you could feel to your core.
Deep, I love that you mentioned going to the game with your dad.
I took my dad to a few games before he passed in 2008. Those were just regular season games, but the memories will last with me forever.

... top 5 won't be enough ... in no particular order ...

... 81 point game ...
... rookie Magic playing center with Kareem out in an NBA finals ...
... torn achilles free throw ...
... 0.4 shot by fish ...
... the 3 by Horry to beat the kings ...

... a lot of Kobe plays (specially the ones with MVP chants on opponent's arena, like in rose garden) ...

... one of my personal favorite is Sasha's crucial free throws against the Celtics ... go to be my favorite championship ... it was a come from behind win ... revenge ... and to top it all it was against the Celtics ... ^_^

I'm sure you were.

Mine:

1. Horry hits that 3 against the Kings
2. 0.4
3. 81
4. Fisher head butting Scola and then acting like he didn't know what happened.
5. Lakers beating Celtics in 09

The ones I have had the privilege to witness are these. I'm grading them by the ones that simply give the most joy.

1. Kobe's buzzer beater vs the Suns in '06
2. Ron-Ron's 3 against Boston game 7 2010
3. Fisher 0.4
4. Kobe to Shaq against Portland
5. 81
