The boys celebrating after winning the division last season was pretty sweet too.

Jonas looks like he might not have been photoshopped....

That was Vince's shot. Screw you DeMar, you were the wrong one to make that shot.

Jonas making his way to the buffet table for the third time. Drake not in the picture because he's spinning on the floor like Homer Simpson.

Alvin Williams to be real, he clinched our team a series with his jumper in NYK 2001

It's hard to say, because the thing that made that bat-toss moment so unique is the 45 minutes or so that preceeded it. 20 years from now, when you're explaining that moment to a kid who had no memory of it, you can't just show them them a clip of it, you're going to need to explain the long playoff drought, how weird the freak go-ahead run was, and then the series of Texas errors. And the person you're explaining it to probably still won't really get a sense of how that moment felt.

So to me, VC slam dunk competition is pretty-much the polar opposite of it, where you could show it to a kid today without any explanation, and they would probably utter an expletive. It is a highlight in the truest sense of the word, and holds up extremely well. Hell, in terms of the franchise, it's probably a bigger moment in retrospect... because at the time, it seemed like it was the start of something really special here. But nope, in retrospect that was it. That was the pinnacle of those years.

I'll take the easy answer and say it simply hasn't happened yet. There is no comparable.

what 2001 would've look like

[Cody73]

Vince going for 50 in Game 3, guys.



That was a clutch moment, and you all know it.

[DanH]

Yeah, eithe Vince going nuts in game 3 or the dunk contest. Not much else to choose from.

[mcHAPPY]

So many haters here......

Demar vs orlando.
