Product Description: Perhaps more than any other sport, basketball is a star-driven event: Michael Jordan, Larry Bird, Dennis Rodman, Shaquille O'Neal--the list could go on and on. But it's not necessarily these athletes' overall careers that we remember as much as the breathtaking individual plays these illustrious men have given us. Is it possible to break down a hundred of these greatest moments in NBA history? The NBA's 100 Greatest Plays certainly tries. While last-minute heroics tend to be the standard by which we define excellence, there are many other moments that have left an indelible impression, many of them highlighted here. The video clips fall into 10 categories: Dunks, Alley-oops, Assists, Steals, Blocks, Teamwork, the Clutch Shot, Moves, Hustle, and Buzzer-Beaters. At the beginning of each section is a brief introduction. Before showing the top 10 dunks of all time, for example, we learn about the evolution of the dunk--from the first slam to the man who could fly, Michael Jordan--and we hear background commentary from NBA legends such as Magic Johnson, Charles Barkley, Dr. J, and Bill Russell. This video recalls familiar moments of NBA lore that you will want to own for countless repeat viewings. --Jeremy Storey

Very organised material!!
Although the footage does not include recent plays, it is a very good effort. For young guys I believe it is a great school...

Best series for Basketball fans
As a Sri Lankan the exposure to the NBA is limited, This series keeps me updated on what happened. This is really great for NBA Fans

Great DVD...But I don't agree with all choices...
I am a great fan of the NBA (mainly the 80's)...This DVD was perfect for me to see and enjoy.
Of course it's impossible to agree with all the choices made for the Top plays...I really don't liked the Top 10 dunks...but the Top 10 Blocks are incredible!(Man...I love Manute Bol)
If you like the greatest moments of sports you must buy it...

Excellent
This is an excellent video. Sure, most of it is 2000 or earlier, but they are great plays. My 11 year old son, who plays basketball, and I enjoyed watching it. We both talked about strategy, team play, and other stuff stemming from the video (lots of pausing). Great way to introduce the heroes and history of the sport.

should be called best old school plays
This was a good dvd , but it almost put me to sleep when it had reel after reel of 1960's material. There was a good deal of 80's stuff, and very few 90's material.
