NBA's Top 10's of the Year

I love how there are so many different nicknames for bron-bron

I reckon if Kobe made it, it would be #1 as well. LeBron is not the only player the NBA has tried to force-feed to fans, past or present.

agreed 100%
i miss the days when highlight reels contained worthy highlights....not marketing from the nba

they still do, you just have to ignore the ranking.

That said, I think LeBron does produce plays that would sit atop a top ten. But in this instance, a couple of very worthy entries were screwed over for the number one spot.

I don't want to take anything away from Bron but one of his nicks is LeBrick.

Ugh, that Carter alleyoop buzzer-beater. I was at that game...VC hits a 3 to extend the game into OT. Then when the Raptors managed to tie the game, they screw everything up and let Carter get an alleyoop to win the game.

Carter always seems to play well in the ACC. Maybe the booing isn't such a great idea.

I still say Devin Harris travelled on his...Roy's should have been #1

There was a no-call on a blatant foul - then he traveled. He made it though, so two wrongs made a right in that case. I'll agree with you on Roy being #1 though.

2 new ones - assists and international.

We already know next year's winners. Lebron have atleast 2-3 first places when we are talking about top 10's.

LeBron's great great great great great grandparents were probably from Africa so I'm assuming he's #1 in the top international plays too.

NBA.com's offical list is much better

Brandon Roy's dunk is number 1 and nasty.

Not in My House: Top 10 Blocks of 08-09 Season

phpBB [video]

Just watched the blocks.. 3 Lebron blocks - are you f***ing kidding me? And not even his block on Sessions, which I think was note worthy.

As 3 Lebron blocks has passed, I was like wtf, no Wade block on Lopez??? At least it came. Although Maxiell's blocks on Jermaine should be on the list.. Not ahead of Wade's though..

Also Rose's block on Andre Miller as he came from behind ala Tayshaun Prince against Reggie Miller should have been on the list.

So, pretty much dominated by Chris Anderson, Dwight Howard, and of course who else LeBron

Poor Jermaine O'Neal got swatted and posterized so many times this year.

once again, none of Lebron's plays deserve to be on there...

What do you want instead - put 10 blocks by Tyrus in that video?

Although I think that he could have 2 of top 10 blocks - #7 and that block on Sessions which wasn't included.

I was surprised the funniest block of the season wasn't included,the Lebron James block on J-Rich's 360 dunk attempt

Dwight's block on Ray Allen should've been on there.

After watching all the countdowns, its looks like Philadephia gets owned alot

I was surprised the funniest block of the season wasn't included,the Lebron James block on J-Rich's 360 dunk attempt

That was a foul all the way.

LeBrons blocks are really fancy. Still they are almost only from behind which is way easier than blocking someone going strong to the whole.

What do you want instead - put 10 blocks by Tyrus in that video?

nope, but include Rose's block on Miller, which is clearly much more impressive then any of Lebron's blocks, as well as Tyrus Thomas' block on Lebron after he got away with a travel

I was surprised the funniest block of the season wasn't included,the Lebron James block on J-Rich's 360 dunk attempt

That was a foul all the way.

yeah, that was all arm, not all ball

I would've put Allen Iverson's bounce pass as the number one assist. I also agree that LeBron is featured too prominently in the top ten blocks. Not that they aren't nice blocks in their own right, but you probably could pick just one of the three to be featured lower on the list.

It must have been easy to select these top plays. Just throw a couple of LeBron's into every categories and you only have to choose 7-8 more plays to go in there.

Those blocks by LeBron are nice, but having three blocks from LeBron in the top ten is a bit ugly.
