Points: Kyrie Irving's 3-point shot in GM 7 of the 2016 NBA Finals or KAJ's sky hook in GM 6 of the 1974 NBA Finals

Rebound: Olajuwon's tip-in off Drexler's miss in GM 1 of the 1995 NBA Finals

Assist: Kobe's alley-oop to Shaq in GM 7 of the 2000 WCF

Block: Bill Russell's block in minute 48 of GM 7 of the 1957 NBA Finals to preserve a title and kick of the greatest dynasty in professional North American team sports

Steal: Dave Cowens shutting down Oscar Robertson in GM 6 of the 1974 NBA Finals w/ the hustle and steal
Pay no mind to the battles you've won
It'll take a lot more than rage and muscle
Open your heart and hands, my son
Or you'll never make it over the river

for fun i didn't want to repeat any answers (my real answers would probably be the same as the original post except maybe for assist)

Points: Jordan "The Shot" in 1989

Rebound: Artest game-winning putback at the buzzer 2010 WCF G5

Assist: Jordan to Kerr 1997 Finals G6

Block: Olajuwon on Starks 1994 Finals G6

Steal: Jordan on Malone 1998 Finals G6

kinda wanted to pick a defensive rebound somehow but can't think of anything

"BLOCKED BY JAMES" Gives me goosebumps just thinking about it. What an absolutely magical moment I can literally feel the energy just thinking about it.



greatest points has gotta be TMAc 13 in 35 seconds. Absolutely incredible display
