I'm only 21 so I can only go off what I remember, and I'm not being a Rockets homer either, I remember Reggie Miller's 6 in 8 seconds, and of course TMAC's 13 in 35.

But is there more? Who else had something special, I know watching TMAC's game it made my heart skip a beat, I was like in shock, greatest thing I'd ever seen on the basketball court.

Tracy McGrady's 13 in 35 Seconds....

Sleepy Floyd's 51 points against the Showtime Lakers.

LeBron's 29 of Clevelands last 30 or whatever it was, against detroit in the ECF.

Was it a comeback?

Nope. LeBron's one wasn't a comeback it was just an excellent single man performance. They were staying in the game the whole time.

First thing I thought of was Kobe's 81 points. It basically lasted the whole game but the Raptors were up by like 20 by halftime and Kobe single handedly brought the team to a win.

Bob Pettit in decisive Game 6 of 1958 Finals vs. Celtics. He got 19 out of his Hawks' last 21 points (50 in the whole game, tying then playoff record!), gave them a lead 6 minutes and 16 seconds before the end and then on 3 occasions when Boston got close within a point, Pettit responded with a basket. Bob is the man. IMHO only recently Duncan replaced him as best PF ever: I never could rate Malone above such a winner as Pettit.

not the top, but wade scoring the last 17 points vs the pistons plus the game winner!

Zeke's 21 point quarter on a busted ankle. It was just painful to watch. The Pistons still lost though.

25 (NBA Finals record for points in a quarter) out of 43 in the whole game. Really impressive.

You can't beat McGrady's performance against the Spurs. You just can't.

Penny vs the Heat in Game 3. The Magic was trailing by 20 points at the end of the first Q, heading to their 4th straight playoff sweeps, and then Penny took over, and beat Miami by 10 points. (he scored 42 points) Acually-eventhough they lost- the wole series could be a single man comeback, because the next game he scored 41 points against the best defensive team that year to even the series.

I think its the most incredible short sports clip I've ever seen.

I'll take a legend's (Miller) moment of greatness on this one. It was most impressive how Reggie went about getting those 6 points. He had the presence of mind and the composure to come up with the steal and run back out to the 3PT line, then hits the shot with Spike Lee likely screaming and/or crying.

McGrady's was awesome, but Reggie's was better. If you just extrapolate Reggie's numbers to the time that Mcgrady had for his comeback, you get 26.25pts in 35 seconds. That's double what T-Mac scored. Hence, IMO, better comeback.

McGrady's was better than Reggie's IMO. It was just amazing to watch.

If you extrapolate TMac's 4 point play which took 1 second on the clock, you get 140 points in 35 seconds - even more impressive

Exactly. That was an irrelevant statement by that poster. The greatness of Tmac's play was that he continued it (while the best team in the NBA did EVERYTHING right until the TO by Devin Brown) and played that way for the entire 33 seconds of it. The shots he hits are just ridiculous, and 4 in a row? Including the game winner over the entire Spurs team?

Simply amazing.

T-Mac's 13 in 35 or whatever it was. That was ridiculous.

wade in game 3 of the nba finals down by 13 with 6 minutes left in the game ...
