[NBA1980-2015]Top 10 greatest individual performances in playoff history

Great vids. But, I made it clear that the playoff performances needed to be wins. Figured it would make for a bit different look of historical performances. Isiah was beast though...

That Dragic vid... beautiful

It's great when random guys have huge games in the playoffs. I remember being at the White Sox game during this and everyone was checking their phones being like "damn, Gordon has 30 already!"



Thunderous Dan Majerle and Barkley going off on the Sonics


Allen v Iverson was one of the best playoff series I've ever seen


and of course Pierce and LeBron going shot for shot

I thought I would bring something different and refreshing to the table, also something fun as I enjoy watching old game footage and noticed some amazing games that don't always get mentioned.

The criteria for this is fairly simple. The individual players team must have won the playoff game and had impressive stats to go along with it. Whether it's from the first round to the Finals, doesn't matter.

With that note though, there are certain playoff games where a individual stepped up with some type of adversity and still had a phenomenal stat line. I'm going more for overall game dominance though with the team win, but some things are hard to overlook, certain intangibles (Jordan's flu game vs Jazz, Shaq foul out/Kobe takeover vs Pacers, etc)

I'm always guilty of replying to a post before reading the rest of the thread.

That postseason was crazy. First AI vs Carter and than AI vs Ray Allen the next series.
 
AI doesn't get enough credit. Dude the size of nate Diaz led the NBA in scoring, more than once.

Good lawd
