NBA LEGENDS vs. NBA LEGENDS

these are the top 20 legend verse legend moments in nba history and at number 20 we have chris paul completely humiliating the legend steph curry [Applause] damn chris that was cold doc but in number 19 scotty pippen did the legendary patrick ewing even [Applause] over ewing worse a second and magic didn't like it as any player would like [Music] oh that man scotty's a savage and if we're talking savages we gotta mention shaq and charles because in number 18 these two went head to head in a 1999 match up and it got vicious [Music] [Applause] [Music] shaq how are you going to let charles take you down like that you should be ashamed of yourself but not as much as giannis should because in number 17 kawhi hit him with a dunk so nasty it should be rated real what do you mean by that the facial someone get this man a wet wipe but anyways for our 16th legend verse legend moment we got the time that russell westbrook made damien lillard his baby back [ __ ] this is the largest lead of the game the two of them joining at each other you can almost say they've been [ __ ] up the whole game the way they've played so physical basketball from the opening and the foul back out westbrook westbrook for three [Applause] but you know russ gets in anyone's face it doesn't matter how legendary they are and just watch what he did to kevin durant and number fifteen [Music] well crystal's gonna have to step in sooner or later [Applause] as these former star teammates jawing at each other daniel i thought they were gonna start swinging but this wasn't the first time that former legendary teammates went at it cousin number 14 we got lebron james going one on one with kyrie irving in the last two games his former teammate kyrie irving checking in you know james wants to shoot that one and cannot connect a little extra juice now irving on james he wants to shoot all right kyrie i see you i see you that's pretty clean but steph curry's got you beat that's what steph does in number 13 earned him the respect of the black mamba himself kobe bryant [Music] from the other county and kobe gives him a smile and says wow a bus smack from kobe that's special but not every legend is that friendly cause lebron james tried ending kevin garnett's life in our 12th moment [Applause] [Music] [Applause] has given the cavaliers their biggest jesus kg's probably still having nightmares but he's not the only one because what dwyane wade did in number 11 keep shaq up at night [Music] first up dwayne wade from the free throw [Music] [Laughter] [Music] poor shack but anyways we're answering the top ten so we gotta ramp things up to a whole new level it was the 2016 nba finals cavs vs warriors game six late in the fourth quarter steph curry had the ball when he ran into the legendary lebron james it's bedlam here in cleveland [Applause] harry blocked by james [Applause] making a statement on both sides of the floor says to the two-time mvp get it out of here not on my watch damn stuff didn't stand a chance but somehow things got even worse for him in number nine because the very next game with the championship on the line kyrie irving hit steph with the greatest shot in nba finals history irving and curry one-on-one irving puts it up kyrie irving from downtown and the cavaliers by three kyrie's three-pointer over steph not only capped off the greatest comeback in finals history but it also won cleveland their first ever nba championship now that's legendary but our eighth moment is a disgrace because what kobe did to dwayne wade had him hiding his face in shame wade is guarding brian our chest looking gets it to bryant brian dribbling has to put it up for the buzzer and the lakers win the game damn you could literally see the pain in this man's eyes that's tough now for number seven we got something special cause you're about to witness the rarest legend verse legend match up in nba history prime lebron james versus prime shaquille o'neal [Applause] [Music] [Applause] well as great as this dance battle was it can't compare to kevin durant and giannis match up it was the 2021 playoffs bucks versus nets game seven katie and giannis were putting on legendary performances but in the end only one legend could win and even though kd dropped an insane 48 points giannis scored 40 and led the bucks to victory now the highlights that these two had were amazing but it's the respect that they showed each other after the game that made their playoff matchup our sixth moment wow katie took the l like a pro but number five features a legend that could never accept defeat michael jordan see back in 1997 mj was trash talked by the legendary the kimbei mutumba you haven't got me yet don't even try it he never dunked on you just said that mj could never dunk on him and that is when jordan took things personally [Applause] michael shakes the finger but he finally got his dumps [Applause] and that is why you don't talk reckless to the goat but some legends they suffer more than just a poster dunk because at number 4 kawhi leonard had a shot so cold it made joelle embiid cry off the leonard defended by simmons is this the dagger [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] now it seems like joel was crying because they lost but it was actually because he had just found out that 82 percent of you aren't subscribed to the channel yeah that's straight disrespectful what are you doing but anyways we're entering the top three so things are about to get even more legendary because in 2011 during the nba lockout lebron james and kevin durant put on the game of a lifetime at a local rec center [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] this game is an absolute classic katie dropped 59 points lebron dropped 42 and got the win i mean it's hard to believe that things can get more legendary than this but they do because next up we got lebron's rivalry with kobe see lebron and kobe had plenty of match-ups over the years but there's one moment that's really special and it was back in 2016 during kobe's final year in the nba two legends squaring off for the last time ever and while lebron did manage to grab the win it's what he said about kobe after the game that made this our number two legend verse legend moment with kobe bryant you guys treated us it was fun for us to watch what was it like for you to be part of that uh i mean something that uh the fans uh myself kobe himself will never forget you know uh you know just being a competitive for the last 13 years someone i analyzed growing up to be able to be on the same floor in his last and my last time on the floor with him it was honor normally 16 points ahead at this point this season you might not come out on the floor how much does that get in a rhythm or how much it was just being able to spend some time with him knowing his last time you know this is his last time you know you you know when you're around greatness you want to try to be around as much as possible you know and he's definitely one of the greatest that ever laced them up and i'm happy i'm able to play on the same quarters wow the passing of the torch from one nba legend to another i mean it can't get more legendary than that right well there is one final moment that takes the cake and it features two of the greatest nba legends of all time kobe bryant and michael jordan see back in 1997 mj faced off against a 19 year old kobe and they put on one of the greatest games ever the present and the future right there now even though kobe ended up scoring 33 points mj stole the show dropping 36 and getting the win but it's what jordan says in the post-game interview that makes this the number one legend verse legend moment in nba history your evaluation of the young fella kobe i remember i was young like that he certainly has a lot of skills and you see that and but he's got a lot of confidence and i think it's just a matter of time for him you know you realize how good he is he's actually in his second year of college and uh certainly he's learned a lot he's he's in a top he's in a top league actually and he's certainly going to learn a lot more he's going to be a lot better if he keeps improving the ultimate sign of respect man from one nba legend to another that's beautiful and you know what else is beautiful this video right here these are 10 item shack owns that cost more than your life so what are you doing man this video is over click it
