I'm going to name an NBA star, and I want you guys to decide what their best moment in their career is. Okay. So these are all guys that probably have, you know, some accolades to them. What's the one that you think about when you see the montage into their career? When you see their highlights and they're inducted into Hall of Fame, what's going to be that pinnacle moment that stands out to you? So when you close your eyes, what do you see? Yeah, what do you imagine? First off, Steph Curry.

That moment when he was going against the Lakers and he had a fast break, dunk, slipped, busted his ass and ran to the quarter. Stopping. Air ball at a three. Stopping. That's most memorable moment. Probably the lone country. housing probably talk about the several

times where he went ahead and through his mouthpiece at the referee as well yeah low moments I mean there's just so many moments there's just so many I think clearly for me it's probably when he hit that I don't know 40 foot bomb against O KC

back in 2016 that's a good pick people were going to go to 2022 or maybe the first championship whatever may be that moment was like oh this is the modern NBA that felt like a shot to my chest like holy That was like welcome to the new superstar of the league that's going to change the way the games played forever. Like that is a super memorable play despite it being regular season. Yeah.

I think that moment right there. That might be like the last regular season game that mattered. Like, but it's 2022 probably. Him getting the finals of VP, him getting that championship post Kevin Durant. Best moment though. You are right though. Like nobody takes a game winning shot with one dribble inside a half court.

Yeah. And you're in the middle of your seven. 73 and 9 season, that same game, you came back from a sprain ankle. Like, it's that moment. It's the, it's game six against, against Boston after he wins. Or the, in the 2015 finals, when he crosses up Delhi on the wing. Oh, yeah, yeah. That three, those three are probably like my top three.

I remember that specifically because. The Chris Paul crossovers also. Oh, yeah, that one is well, obviously. super icon. It's probably that in the OKC one. Yeah. It's OKC shot or the real answer is the 22 championship, but you want to get creative. It's a 20, it's a 2016 shot. Yannis

Antenacupo. Shit, man. It's him going like this with the finals MVP trophy and the NBA trophy. Yeah. Like, you win the title. It's like that's it. That's the moment. 50 points in a close-out game. Like, that would be the most memorable moment for basically any player in NBA history's career. It's either that or

him staring into the camera. camera after catching the lob after Drew Holliday gets to steal and he gets the lob that and him me mugging into the camera it's like hey man that whole game is magical man that's crazy that's one of the most memorable NBA finals moments in my lifetime

that game you have that said to said to father stretch my hands oh yeah elite I felt like I was watching the crowning of a new top 10 player of all time in that night I like it felt like legend status being solidified also memorable in my head

for no reason that night when he was arguing about the uh no weirdo the hell talking about when he was arguing over the goddamn ladder you remember that when he was arguing over the ladder when he was arguing over the ball when he's arguing with the dad he's arguing with the dad he's just be arguing just be mad everyone just trying on it damien lillard oh for me it's all the game winners or there'd be the one over uh it's the one over pa george see that is probably it but for me the bubble We were locked up at home with our friends watching basketball back. He was unstoppable every game in the bubble.

It felt like every night we're going to watch and go for 70. That was a magical level of basketball. There's one specific shot where he hit, he hit the back iron skyed up like it felt like 80 feet in the air and just dropped it. There was like four straight games of him being so ludicrously hard to stop that people were saying in the first round of the playoffs they were going to beat the Lakers because it's the best eight seed of all time. He was that good. I will say though. The fact that T.J. one was also dropping 50 hours like everybody just going crazy in the bubble it really is i remember

running out of my of my dorm room when he when he hit the shot ran out of my dormant ran down the hall to our friend who's a blazers fan it was like oh my god like that's for me that's the moment yeah and also because paul george was like it's a bad shot yeah it's like who cares you're going oh yeah it probably is that shot an iconic meme that came from it it definitely but man the bubble special damien lilly performance he was the MVP the bubbleer isn't he for those eight game season. Kobe Bryant. For me, it's kind of sad, but when he tore his Achilles and was able to take those

free throws, it's like ultimate like Mamba mentality. You know what? The most memorable thing about Kobe is like the mythology of Mamba mentality. And that is the Mamba mentality moment. So you're probably right. That probably is the one that gets like etched in stone is like, this guy just wants it more. Yeah.

I just think about toughness and grit. Or, loki, his last game, like, to end a 20-year career. Like, that was the most patching she I've ever seen for a last game. And to drop was a 60? Yeah, in that game. Like, that's Loki up there, too. They put the 73-9 Warriors on ESPN2. Yeah, like, what?

Yeah. That was insane. Oh, wait, no. No, my bad. Kobe's last game was on ESPN2 because they put the 73-9 Warriors on big ESPN, yeah. Wow. I would say, okay, the game winner that he had in 06

where he, like, does the fist part and, like, tears the jersey or whatever, Like that's that's hard Him throwing the lob to shack It was so loud Oh man James Hardin That one crossover that he had When he was he used to rock it

It was against it was against the clippers Wesley Johnson Yeah he made Wesley Johnson's knees fucking buckle And he had a step back Left Wing three That one right there It's a shame we can't do a playoff moment But going back to regular season

No I remember a lot of playoff moments Oh God I remember the game winner he shot in 2018 over Kevin Durant and Steph Curry together That game winning shot in regular season Over two defenders Did he fall on the ground after that too? Yes I remember that

Oh man I don't remember it was Katie and somebody else I think I thought it was it was Draymond You know it probably was Draymond Because he knocked his ass over His wife fell Over two defenders He had a game winning three from like just above

Half Court it was a ridiculous shot And that's the moment where I was like Dude are they going to win the finals this year Like they're not they're serious they're going bad for ban with the fucking warriors never believed it yeah well 27 miss 3 is probably the most memorable moment but here we go that I don't know I won't do it I won't do it Kevin Durant I think it was for me personally super throwback but he did basically rookie year Julius Randall the worst way possible we hit him like with so many combo moves uh to get to

a baseline I think it was a baseline jump shot you know what it is clearly it's a it's a it's a combination it's my next chapter is that picture it's the article is the players tribute articles this changed the history of the NBA my next chapter is clearly the most memorable moment of Kevin Rand's career it's a for me it's a combination because it's it's back to back

years doing the same thing hitting a shot over LeBron in the finals in the same spot in the same arena like that that's it that can't be his best moment no it's my next chapter yeah crossing his arms in the winery also another fantastic moment too is when he made a return to O KC

and he was like jawing with Russell Westbrook and he called him a pussy and he was like face to face with him too Okay LeBron James Cleveland This is for you That's my moment right there

That's probably that is clearly the answer That's undoubtedly the answer Winning the scoring title I mean winning the scoring record Is obviously up there too That was a big moment Blocked by James Blocked by James

Also the answer Play with Brony is up there That's also a cool moment Yeah Man, who's to say? This is so many moments. All these moments. I don't know, man.

Dunking on Kendrick Perkins, dunking on Jason Terry. So many moves. All these moments. God damn. It's crazy. I'm going to cry. I'm going to cry to the goat, man. Shout to the goat.

I might actually cry the day he retires, like genuinely. You will 100% cry. La Mello Ball. Let's see. Best moments. Loki is not even from the NBA. he should have recalled some of his reality TV show moment y'all laughed like it wasn't a moment

like that wasn't a thing like we weren't all tapped into facebook watching ball and the family the thing is you just said that you're the only one I know who watched it who is we I don't know a single soul watched it either I promise you we were I was tapped in I know you were the whole wing of the door was tapped in but no it's it's clearly like him pointing at the at the ground like oh yeah when it was like 13 14 years old yeah it's not even NBA you're right

you're right and is that I still do that to this day sometimes I'm like I try to tell you stop doing that Luca Donchich it's not even though

it's a brown win horse being like Scott's the loser if he wants to be a winner he has to do this yeah scoring 73 is up there scoring 73 is ridiculous

not a good moment there's actually one of them the more forgettable yeah it is super forgettable I'm sure if you want to forget it as against the hawks it's kind of wild that was incredible

The only reason is forgetable, because there's a couple others at you. His game winner Overgo Bear. The step back over-go-Barre when we were in Cancun? Dumb! It went stupid. My God. That was pretty tough. Yeah, I'm making the finals with it.

Either that or the game winner over the Clippers on the Black Lives Matter, Logan. Yeah, I remember that too. Logie, we're talking about the best moment of his career. What's the best for him most memorable is getting traded to the Lakers. Now we get to be the main character, win-rings for the franchise, that everybody wants some win-rings for it. Yad-di-y-di-y-da. It's the best thing never happened to him. Yeah, but let's talk about the tag.

Let's talk about the natural disasters that would be happening in L.A., man. Let's talk about the crime rate that's there. Luca, not a good moment for you. The crime rate. He's not a little in calabasasas. The crime rate is not an issue. Tim Duncan. Does this dude ever have a bad moment?

His whole career is the best moment? Yeah, like he just had to be having a time of his life all the time in the most calm way. I mean, he had a bad moment, but like, we, we ain't got to speak on it. But like, I don't know what he's referencing. I don't want to know. no isn't that isn't that great no he no he he choked in game seven what year are you talking about 2013 oh yeah he had he had the the bunny but honestly they had they had they had beat the thunder in 2014 in the conference finals and they had asked they were like interviewing him afterwards

you know Tim Duncan is always just like mad calm or whatever and and afterwards he was like he's like we have four more wins we're gonna get it done this time and I was like Tim Duncan's talking trash? Oh, yeah, that he had no chance? It's over. It probably is dismantling the Miami heat. Like, they beat their shit out of the first, like, big super team of this era. Yeah. They, they truly, truly thrott on them. They whipped them. It was

unbelievable. Got him out there in five games. Shaquille O'Neal. I think when he dunked on that dude, teabagged him and pushed him as well. Yeah, that's definitely the highlight you see of Shaq. Is it winning the Miami chip and getting one more than Kobe? Nobody cares about him in that chip. I'm just telling you that best moment for him.

No. I mean, he lost the battle anyways, but I think like... He lost the war, but he won that battle. He was ahead for a second. You're correct.

I said that wrong. Yep. Doesn't matter. Doesn't matter. It's probably the teaback dump. Yeah. What else could they possibly be? Loki again,

yes. Joining the Lakers is the best moment of his career, walking in your agency, and becoming a Laker and having been the first step of making maybe the best team to ever live before the Warriors? leaving the magic was the best thing that ever happened to him

you're looking at you're looking at me like I'm wrong you're looking at me like it's not true leaving the magic was because it's completely not what we're doing that's the best moment

signing in free agency you got it Cameron Payne what the hell campaign had a run he had a moment to me his best moment is probably making up

all those creative handshakes with Russell Westbrook. Yeah, dancing. Yes, he cemented his spot as a good vibes guy who can maintain a job in the NBA. It's either hyping up Russell Westbrook while I hit them folks or the picture of him getting a haircut. It's definitely the haircut picture. It's probably that. That's probably the best moment. I'll never forget it. Or him hitting all those threes for the suns at one year where he was really good in the playoff run. I remember he was talking is the haircut. Yeah, let's say the haircut. That's going down in NBA history. That was incredible.
