Curry at 1 feels right or nah?

[Fastbreak Hoops @FastbreakHoops5]

The Spurs won titles in 1999, 2003, 2005, 2007 and 2014 and never once won two in a row.

Every other team in my top five repeated at least once. That's the only thing keeping San Antonio at No. 5.

Orlando led Detroit 3-1 in the first round in 2003 and lost. Orlando led Detroit 3-1 in the first round in 2026 and lost again. Cade was on the right side of it this time. For 1-on-1 I still want 2003 T-Mac, the scoring champ.

KD dunks on Giannis, Giannis comes right back and dunks on Bol Bol 😮💥 That was Phoenix beating Milwaukee in 2024, 114-106, with Giannis at 34 and 10 and Durant at 28 and 10. Poor Bol is 7 foot 3. His dad Manute blocked 397 shots as a rookie, still the second most anybody has had in one season. Bol Bol ended up on the other end of it.

Carmelo Anthony got 15 games for his punch in the Knicks and Nuggets brawl at the Garden in 2006. Four years later the Knicks traded for him.

Jordan made 916 field goals in 1995-96, 127 more than anyone else in the league, and only 111 of them were threes. That was a midrange season from a 32-year-old. Easy pick.

Harden sent Wesley Johnson to the floor and then just stood there 🤯

Johnson was the fourth pick in 2010, one spot ahead of DeMarcus Cousins, with Paul George still on the board until 10. He played nine seasons, which is a real career, but this is the clip he gets remembered for.

Canada has four MVPs. Steve Nash won in 2005 and 2006. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander won in 2025 and 2026.

Back to back both times, exactly 20 years apart.

[Fastbreak Hoops @FastbreakHoops5]

72-10 in the regular season, 15-3 in the playoffs. The 1995-96 Bulls went 87-13 counting everything. That's my greatest team.

Tee Morant never has a quiet night courtside 🤣

He earned the seat. Tee played at Claflin and was thinking about going overseas when Ja's mom got pregnant, so he stayed home and cut hair instead. Then he built Ja's game in the backyard, teaching him the step back and buying tractor tires so the landings were soft.

Kevin Garnett waited 13 seasons for that 2008 title. Boston won the clincher by 39, 131-92, and he'd been named Defensive Player of the Year that spring.

[Fastbreak Hoops @FastbreakHoops5]

Magic lost Rookie of the Year to Bird. Elvin Hayes lost it to Wes Unseld. Melo and Wade both lost it to LeBron. Every one of them is on this card.

Donovan Mitchell is the only guy here who lost it to somebody who isn't.

[Fastbreak Hoops @FastbreakHoops5]

San Antonio held Shai to 40.9 percent shooting over seven games in the West finals and knocked out the MVP. So I'm giving him to the guy on this card in the Spurs jersey. 2015 Kawhi.

[Fastbreak Hoops @FastbreakHoops5]

The 2012-13 Bulls ended Miami's 27-game streak without Derrick Rose, who missed the entire season. They also snapped a 13-game Knicks streak that year, only the second team ever to end two streaks that long in one season.

[Fastbreak Hoops @FastbreakHoops5]

Bird and Walton settling it over a chessboard ♟️

Walton's feet limited him to 468 of a possible 1,148 regular season games for his career, but in that first Boston season he played 80, the most he ever managed. The Celtics won 67 and the title, and Bird later called it the best team he was ever on.

[Fastbreak Hoops @FastbreakHoops5]

Dirk Nowitzki finished with exactly as many technical fouls as Anthony Mason. 192 each. The soft-spoken seven-footer from Würzburg, dead even with one of the bruisers on the 90s Knicks.

[Fastbreak Hoops @FastbreakHoops5]

Freddie Brown led the NBA in three-point percentage in 1979-80, the first season the league had a three-point line. He was 31 and had been Downtown Freddie since high school in Milwaukee.

[Fastbreak Hoops @FastbreakHoops5]

The Lakers row says two seasons. The second one was a single game, a spot start on opening night 2017, and then he sat for the rest of the year on a four-year, $72 million contract.

[Fastbreak Hoops @FastbreakHoops5]

Milwaukee's 5OT and Oklahoma City's 5OT on this card are the same game. November 9, 1989, Bucks 155, Seattle 154.

[Fastbreak Hoops @FastbreakHoops5]

Memphis traded Marc Gasol to Toronto on February 7, 2019. That same year he won an NBA title with the Raptors and a World Cup with Spain. That's why he's the Grizzlies' pick here.

[Fastbreak Hoops @FastbreakHoops5]

Klay opened the 2018-19 season 5 for 36 from three over seven games. Then on October 29 in Chicago he made 14 of them in 27 minutes, still the single-game record.
