A visibly injured Willis Reed inspiring his Knicks team to victory in the 1970 NBA Finals. Magic Johnson's baby hook buzzer beater against Boston. Kobe Bryant's alley-oop to Shaquille O'Neal in the 2000 Western Conference Finals on the way to the NBA title. Dwyane Wade's stellar MVP performance throughout the 2006 NBA Finals. These are but a few of the great moments covered in this amazing DVD. From basketball pioneers George Mikan and Red Auerbach, to the stars of the new millennium Steve Nash and Lebron James, celebrate the teams, players, coaches and relive the moments that define the evolution of the game and greatness of the NBA.

Emphasis on the History, Not the Moments

They mentioned Earl 'The Pearl' Monroe but did not show a clip of this amazing player. There are quite alot of great plays and unforgettable moments, but not nearly what was expected based on the title. While they were trying to be historical, though, I thought some notable oversights among players were Connie Hawkins, Dave Bing, and Bernard King. I'd call it a nice lay-up but no slam dunk.
The DVD brought back a lot of great memories and served as a solid introduction to basketball history for my son, but still was not the highlight-reel fest suggested by the title. And there are a lot of great extra features, the best being an in-depth history of Game 5 of the 1976 finals between the Celtics and the Suns. There also was no coverage of the All Star game or the Dream Team of 1992. On the plus side, the segments on the Celtics, on the Magic-Bird era, and the Rise and Rise of Air Jordan were well done.
From the title, I was expecting more along the lines of great plays and clutch shots than how the league was formed and a sequential decade-by-decade saga. While this was a solid overview of NBA history, you should be advised that this is what it is, NBA 101. Mention of some of the great announcers might also have been nice.

However, most of the greatest moments are playoff related, so if you already own Greatest NBA Finals Moments, you might want to consider this purchase. Not a bad overview of the history of the NBA, and it's greatest moments. The documentary takes you from the introduction of the shot clock, through George Mikan's days as the first big man, past Wilt's 100 point game and up to recent times.

I bought this DVD for my son, 14, who absolutely LOVES it. He has acquired knowledge of the marvelous basketball greats of the past.

Still good dvd to add to your collection, but not the greatest as the title would suggest. I love the NBA, I love watching great moments, however the majority of these presentation is in the old days. The Celtics of old who won 11 titles were great, but I thought there would be a balanced amount of modern champs too.
