Dr. J's rock the cradle dunk in the NBA finals is my favorite dunk in NBA history. I watch that game live. My favorite dunk since seeing when it happened.💯
Rock the Baby Dunk. Etched in stone for the rest of time. Most beautiful thing to witness in NBA history. Swagger, style, ability, hang time, Authority. It had it all.
I don't even like basketball. I'm a hockey fan. But, if I ever see a thumbnail hinting that Dr. J's "baby" is in there, then I just click and smile in anticipation.
Yes indeed. The Doctor!
ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU HAVE BIG HANDS LIKE THE DOCTOR WHO LOVES TO DUNK WITH STYLE
Props to Chick Hearn. GOAT
DR J started and invented it. But MJ did my favorite version of it from the right hand side and the other direction in the 80s in games and dunk contests, though.
To me, Dr. J is the guy who really started America's excitement over dunking. Just thinking of all those times he would take off at the foul line, reach the apex and then come down on the rim like he was landing a jet. Man, his knees must hurt him today!
Had some funky moves under the board too 😂
I think Dr. J's house call against the Lakers and his steal and slam on Cooper were two of the most athletically beautiful things you can see on a basketball court.
I know right Let’s go
That's my favorite too.
It’s a great moment, yes, but Cooper completely bailed out on that shot. Not that I blame him, but he bailed.
@@gatesurfer he didn't have a choice did he. Lol
@@gatesurfer to me that's the greatest in game dunk of all time.
At 1:50, the entire arena stands up BEFORE Dr J makes the dunk in anticipation for what he would do. That’s incredible. It’s like thousands of people collectively had the same thought, “oh snap, the doctors got the ball! watch what he’s gonna do on this fast break!”
Best quote on here, should receive more likes. That's exactly what happened.
You know what cracks me up about that Tyreke half court buzzer beater at 12:45? One kings bench player who knew it was going in despite being less than halfway the distance to the hoop and started running onto the court and jumping around.
+Trent Diamanti lol i noticed that too.
Trent Diamanti wow lol
Probably seen him nail them in practice every day and knew there was a good chance it would go in.
His name is dante green dumb fuck
Yeah even if he didnt and was just optimistic he showed he felt it was more than a 50/50 chance lol
Legend has it you can still see Patrick Ewing standing still after that Hakeem spin move.
I come back to this video just to read this comment.
Djhdjdjsjdhdjsjshdhd
That first move by Doc is, to me, still the greatest single move/play in NBA history. I'm sure there have been better things since but for that time (and even now) it was out of this world. I've always said there were many players better than Erving but no player evolved the game quicker than he did. He was the most monolithic player ever.
Doctor J iconic move. I agree
The phrase of "go see the doctor" was because he was so unbelievable unless you saw him do those things.
Clint is a oldschool name
1:37 - STILL the best dunk I've ever seen in an NBA game. I remember ESPN was showing this for days.
9:42 is one of the greatest sports shots of all time. The triumph of victory vs the agony of defeat. Amazing visual.
Yes!
Wu Tang
Shawn Kemp dunk + the commentary + the atmosphere. The 90s looked amazing!
it was a great time to watch the NBA without a doubt, from 80-90's were the best.
It was amazing
That would be an ejection in today’s NBA when he pointed at him. NBA is so soft now.
It was
Glad the dunk on Shawn Bradley by Tracy McGrady was in there, that dunk got everyone on their feet.
The intensity Of the old nba basketball is far better than today..
From Philadelphia and not anyone could do what he did. Doctor is the Best
The Best dunk Ever,Dr J. Its like poetry in motion.
Dr J. Was so fluid and jumped so high and far it looks like he just HAD to travel... But he didn't... Insane...
Unlike everyone who does travel today
Its called air travel the man was a bird of prey on the open court run
I had to watch it twice 🤺
Oh ya...he glided like no other
The Doctor's ABA dunk over Bobby Jones was even more amazing
two things i love about this. 1) it's an outstanding collection of great NBA moments. 2) it barely scratches the surface.
AI's Game 1 versus the Lakers deserves more love. That was the Lakers' only loss that entire postseason, and it took the league MVP to break them.
With Bird's steal against Detroit, the steal was great, but Dennis Johnson's cut to the basket is what really made the play, and showed just how much of a team those Celtics were...
Golden Age of the NBA early 80s to late 90s, it was fantastic.
No doubt! Arguably the greatest single era of any sport ever...
The real steal was at 4:28 lmao guy got the game ball and bounced
LMAO
ROFL hahahahaha
Kevin Blanco I noticed that too lmaooo
I agree
Hahaha
Doctor j " rock the baby" dunk is simply too much for everybody else...
Like a rainbow arc. Gorgeous
Like the hand of a vengeful god…
michael cooper didn't bother to play defense on doc's dunk.
@@btwentwo sas I'll l
Call made by the incomparable Chick Hearn. RIP, Chick. Nobody's even close.
Some notable omissions: Jerry's halfcourt, shot 70 Finals. Willis Reed takes the court injured, 1970 Finals. Gar Heard's g-tying shot, 1976 Finals. Game 7 ending, 1981 ECFs McHale clotheslines Rambis, 1984 Finals LA finally beasts Boston, 1985 Finals Ralph Sampson g-winner, 1986 WCFs Isiah 25-pt 3rd quarter, 1988 Finals John Paxson g-winner, 1993 Finals Denver shocks Sonics, 1994 WCF Reggie 25-pt 4th quarter, 1994 WCF MJ double nickel, 1995 reguilar season MJ flu game, 1997 Finals Reggie 30 foot heave, 2002 EC RD1
I'd like to add Jeff Malone's ridiculous buzzer beater in 1984 regular season against Detroit and Larry Birds long three that sent the Hawks bench reeling in his 60 point game to this wonderful addendum.
Derek Rose has ZERO highlights on this video! That is a very notable omission, considering not only how spectacular some of his highlights were, but also some dominant game-winning shots and takeovers.
Tom Chambers mega-dunk on Mark Jackson
Baron Davis, while playing for the Warriors, dunks on the Jazz
And Rose crossover v Kings?
I remember exactly where I was when Doc cuff-dunked over Cooper; I was in the pool room of Pik-Up Bar on Ashley Street, in Jacksonville, Florida. It was like time stood still...
THE DOCTOR!
Julius, ERVVVVVving!!..
Doc dunk will never be out done but the D rose dunk over dragon needs to be on here.
@6:16 that dunk by VC, amazing!
Nobody would ever duplicate Dr J’s cradle dunk over Cooper ... Leaping ability won’t be enough ...
The most spectacular player I've ever seen.
I think there's plenty of people who can leap like that. J had gigantic hands and could do that effortlessly lol
.... it was not only his leaping ability that helped him with the cradle dunk. doc was one of the few who could really glide... i dont think mj, lbj, vince, and kobe would have done this during their prime...
He had massive hands. One of his nicknames was The Claw.
Dubfansince 1980 at 6'6",i think he's the only player who has a 11"handspan.don't know about kawhai leonard's
GP going “oh damn ok” when Jason Williams shakes him is hilarious.
Giannis betta
finally a REAL all time video showing all the generations not just recent stuff(which isnt as good as the old stuff).
The one thing we were robbed of in the Jordan era was a Olajuwan/Jordan matchup in the finals we lost out on in '94 and '95 due to Jordan playing baseball. Hakeem was just a guy who added and added to his game every year, at his peak he was the most complete center I ever saw.
Actually he was always skilled af. its just he never had a team around him to do what Jordan did. Hakeem didnt have Pippen and a well oiled machine behind him. He carried those teams on his back. The only help he had was in 1986 when he had Samson but that was brief and he reached the finals with Samson in his 2 years in NBA. the Bulls without Jordan were championship caliber team alone.Let that sink in. They were eliminated by the Knicks 4-3 who then narrowly lost the final 4-3 to Hakeem. I dont think Olajuvon's Houston in 1994 would have beaten the Bulls with Jordan. The Bulls were just on another level with Jordan. If Hakeem had at least another hall of famer on his team - then it might have been a different story.
@RoboTube yeah, the Drexler team with Olajuwan in '95 would have been the Bulls greatest championship challenge
False. Orlando Magic featuring Shaq eliminated Chicago Bulls featuring Jordan.
@@nursemcfarlane6655 Featuring Jordan who wasnt in his best form. Next year Jordan swept the same team
@@robotube7361Excuses, excuses. Oh well, Orlando was never in best form again after Nick Anderson missed 4 straight free throws in the final.
That famous Dr. J dunk is still the best ever...!!!
Akeems move on ewing at 3:00 is the best post move I’ve seen... actually when he made david Robinson look a goose was pretty amazing too.
Update with Lillard 3 waving goodbye to the Thunder and Kawhi fade away.
💯
@Jmillv1 - I totally agree. Those plays are definitely part of the greatest plays in NBA history.
also Kyrie Irving 3 in the finals
Plus curry vs okc
and “block by james”
Dr.J's dunk is just poetry in motion. Great mix man, thank you for this
Love all the high lights but DR.J will always be my favorite player of all time no disrespect to all the greatest of the game but Doc will always be that one and that's why I name my youngest son after him love the game
Jordan stole Julius ERVING style
Ray Allen's 3 pointer that saved the Heat is my favorite NBA 3 shot ever. CLASSIC and GREAT feel to that whole thing. Allen's a great!
Iverson is really underrated historically. Still the quickest player I have ever seen play
Second favorite player to watch, first was MJ. Iverson at his size was incredible.
Grew up in Denver, my dad was a season ticket holder. I saw MJ when he was with the bulls, the Spurs when they were full force in the Robinson era and Duncan era, Steve Nash, Lebron, Curry etc. Kobe and Kemp were the 2 players I never saw. Out of everyone though, Iverson was by far the quickest player I've ever seen. Unreal to watch up close.
One of the best mix I've seen. Great work & Thank you!!
Pls check out my new clip 🔥🔥
The best dunk ever: Doctor J. against Michael Cooper. I saw that game and I still remember that played. Sixers won the championship.
4:27 stole the ball... hahahahah
nyx3fs classic call
HAHAHAHAAHAHAHAH
Haahahahahaha
1 of NBAs greatest plays of all time. Dont ever fall for the misdirection.
@@DirtCheapFU NFLs*
Dr. J's rock-the-baby slam should replace the NBA logo. So iconic.
The dunk Doc did over Grossman was spectacular. I’m shocked that’s not in these clips.
Dr. J's and Jordan's plays are the top two of all time because it was done in the most crucial time of a game and on the biggest possible stage. #CLUTCH
This deserves more views! Great mix!
back when it happened... that Dr J. windmill "rock the baby" on the breakaway was THE SHIT!!!
DR J. MOSES MALONE MAURICE CHEEKS ANDREW TONEY DARRYL DAWKINS CLINT RICHARDSON BOBBY JONES CALDWELL JONES....................WHAT A TEAM. MOSES IN THE LOW BLOCK WAS UNREAL TO WATCH. HIS TURN AROUND FLIP SHOT WAS UNSTOPPABLE. AT THE FOUL LINE HE WAS REALLY GOOD
Straight to the video, no intro, no music. This is the video we need
Thanks so much for making this vid it is really enjoyable to watch
Jordan: five 3 pointers in a half. Manute bol: hold my beer.
Soggy Potato it was 6
Dumb
It was in the finals
This the best NBA highlight i have ever seen
Great job. Superb collection.
Dr.J's layup will always be number one beautiful move.
I totally agree...I mean, he pick the ball up with one handed motion thru the entire sequence towards the layup..He didn't even touch it with the other hand...He even went out of bound and came back on the other side, while hanging in the air...I remember watching that played out on TV when it first air...Dr J have been my all time favorite player since the ABA and NBA merged...
@@pallen49 yes that's right, the most beautiful layup in history by Dr.J. And MJ is the one who probably made the most amount of amazing layups. (or maybe we don't have enough footage of Dr.J)
@@subswithoutvids-dw6dv ...When Michael Jeffrey Jordan became the face of the NBA in the 'nineties, most of Julius Winfield Erving II's highlights were shelved, probably deliberately.
4:27 looked like such a blast everyone just running on the court with excitement
That guy stole the ball and took off
So unbelievable!!
2:45 perfect timing "it's a physical GAME" and his voice goes up
Man, I hope people appreciate how special Jason Williams juking Gary Payton out of his shoes is.
True... one of the greatest on-ball defenders of all time... maybe the greatest!
These plays from NBA 1990s are all amazing.
thx for posting
A very well thought of and documented video of NBA greats from all eras. Including today's. Again, well put together.
Jordans last sequence of plays as a Bull is the greatest moment! Let’s say he never came back to the wizards that would’ve been his last play Ever! And how magnificent was it!
This video is a masterpiece
1:42 most impressive moment I think❤️💗
AT 2:24 Kareem is like "Hey that's MY shot dude!"
Kobe (short of Robert "big shot bob" Horry" and is hard to say) has got to be the greatest clutch player ever. His buzzer-beater catalogue is fuckin unreal.
That lil clip of tmac hittin those shots against the Spurs shows why he was one of the best scorers ever
Thanks. Great compilation
It should be included the play when John Starks dunk against Michael Jordan... that was outstanding 👍
Carlos Sepulveda he didn’t even dunk on Mj tho...
And Horace Grant
Starks didn't dunk on MJ.
Love Dr. J!
Same here , and not just for his basketball skills . He didn't act like a self absorbed jerk before or after doing something amazing .
@@joeblank618 You mean celebrating right? You people are soft these days
👍👍👍
Beautiful assembly! How could I not love this game?
This clip is a masterpiece! Thumb up!
1:53 will forever be the sickest in game dunk I have ever watched, courtesy by the Doctor
You got to respect your elder cause he's the one that though you the ways.DR.J is .When they played at that time is was rough then after that when you touch the opponent jersey they will call you a foul.Thats what makes him a pioneer.
that T-Mac moment was one of the craziest things I've EVER seen in a game. So sick.
This list needs more, how about the 2007 game between the Nets and Suns, when Nash hit that amazing 3 pointer?? That should definitely be on here.
OHHHH, A SPECTACULAR MOVE BY MICHAEL JORDAN!!!!!
AGAIN AND AGAIN ! NOT HUMAN !
U forgot Scottie posterizes ewing also one of the greatest savage moment.
@war game yooo legit that shit was dumb savage and he walked all over him afterwards lmao
I agree. That was when basketball was still great.
Exactly..
Watching Hakeem in the post is just heavenly
3:09 the sound your cat makes when you step on his tail
Dr J’s dunk over Michael Cooper!!!!!! One of my all time favorite moments in NBA History.
The 80s and 90s were suffocated with legendary superstars.
A video montage that lives up to it's title. These were many of the greatest moments in the league in the last 30 years. There were probably more from earlier in the league that they could have shown but these are the ones I remember. What a video. Fitting to end with Michael Jordan's winning shot for his last championship.
J. Williams put that move on the Glove(his face)😮😂
Great mix! ❤️
Dr J’s dunk: Cooper goes up and he gets to his apex and realizes Oh Shoot I have no chance and tries to disapear
8:22 the best of "new era" alley oop
LEGEND WAS CREATED
Great compilation!
Needed much more Larry Legend. No Oscar, Jerry or Wilt? This is brutal.
Probably not much footage of them.
Part 2 please!
lol i like gary's reaction to white choc at 11:00 like "this dude got moves!"
Nice video. Those highlights verify why I'm a fan of the game of basketball. Been watching NBA basketball since the late 1970's to now.
Sooo, Were just gonna leave DARRYL DAWKINS Backboard Shattering SLAM out of this?
no shit
Yeah... There were some on here that could've easily been replaced by that.
There is something about 3:07 that is so special. Its not just the play. The commentary by Gumbel and the pure emotion of his call. John Stockton sends the Utah Jazz to the NBA Finals! That was my childhood watching basketball.
Momentos realmente espectaculares e inolvidables. Es bueno recordar estos inolvidables momentos. Un saludo desde Santiago de Chile!!.
Legend every last one of them
And last shot in video is MJ! The great legend!
Саня Андрийчук Great player, but did you see him push off with his left hand? He’s made so many great moves, that one didn’t deserve to be the last highlight.
@@RSidneyB it really did, that was his last game in a bulls uniform, he won his 6/6th championship with that shot, and you're talking about the obvious push off, this is part of the greatest plays ever. So what the ref didnt call the foul, at that time the game was more physical, and jordan is the greatest ever.
@@RSidneyB Look closely at his hand from the closer angle. His hand was on the defender but hardly pushing, if at all. His hand was there to gauge him, but no push was needed or done. The defender was faked and went too far, then slipped.
@@blanketstarry7725 Whole sequence shouldn't have mattered. There was a 6 point swing earlier in the game. Eisley makes a 3, refs wave it off for shot clock violation. Harper shoots a 3 after shot clock expired, refs count it. Oh, and Jordan did push off, he even admitted it. NBA wanted Bulls to win. That was the gambling ref era, gambling Jordan era. All rigged.
@@joshuamcneal Great, a conspiracy theorist. Let me guess, you also think the Earth is flat. No matter what happened earlier in the game, it came down to that last play. All you have to do is look at the close up and you can see there was hardly any force in that push, certainly not enough to make a guy go flying by and fall. Players put their hands on defenders (and the other way around) back then because it was legal and you could gauge them and direct them. The defender was already flying by because he was faked out so Jordan's hand did little more than just gauging him. Of course, if you believe in conspiracy theories (like the game was "influenced" by refs because the NBA wanted him to win), then you will always think one way.
4:30 classic MJ, one of his unforgettable moves and one of my faves =)
Best play in NBA history, in my book!
Other than a couple of Larry Bird's buzzer beaters missing, especially one against Dallas, in 1985, this was a great compilation.
This was a damn good compilation. Got most of the best ones in here, not much missing. Well done.
Most of the best plays are missing because of lack of tv coverage and 90% of them involve Wilt, easily the real GOAT
Easily?? lol
Very easily. I got to see the last half of his career. I didn’t like him at all because I bought into the whole his more concerned with his stats thing, but objectively he is easily the greatest, most dominant player ever. MJ not even the third best I’ve seen, for example.
