So many great moments, this one's hard.

If live post game interviews are included, I tip the hat to Metta for insinuating that PJ actually spoke telepathically, so he ignored PJ's voice and nailed the clutch 3. That one had me laughing.

But still it's hard to top 0.4, nor Horry casually turning off the lights like he did.

Can't help but marvel at the diversity of the list, both names and number of eras. Leads to a truly blessed (and spoiled) fan base. One trophy every four years.

2009 it was still Fisher for me. That three he hit against the Magic and that backpeddling smile sealed it. I loved the inbounds passes Ariza caught in key victories though and the threes he hit after jawing with Turkuglu in the Finals.

Pat Riley was a favorite of mine in the early 70’s. I don’t remember him playing a lot, but I always liked it when he came into the game.

That's an interesting topic.
It might be close.

Prime Lamar Odom versus Ben Simmons? LO by a mile. Even if he did have his 'OhDumb' nights now and then.
