US media rated the 6 most enjoyable finals in the NBA: 11 Mavericks ranked sixth, 16 Riding Braves ranked first

In the NBA, the Finals is the most important series of the season. After all, everyone's efforts every season are to start a campaign for the championship, and the Finals have always been a game that has attracted much attention from fans. However, the finals are not very good to watch every year. In some years, because the strength of the two teams is too large, the viewing is not too high. Recently, US media has selected the six most enjoyable finals in NBA history. Let’s take a look together!

Six: The Mavericks vs. Heat in the 2011 finals were against the Mavericks and the Heat. In fact, not many people were optimistic about the Mavericks that year, because the Heat have the top three giants, and everyone is optimistic that the Heat can easily win the championship. However, at the beginning of the game, the style of the entire series changed. In addition to Nowitzki's outstanding performance, other role players also began to play. Kidd's level in organizing the team's offense was not reduced at all, and Terry's three-pointer also made the team's overall offense.

On the contrary, the Heat Big Three did not play the performance expected by fans. The team's core James played on the court and even had an embarrassing scene of 8 points in a single game, so many people said that Barria defended James. After the series draws 2-2, the Mavericks' overall momentum is completely unable to suppress it, and the Heat's Big Three could not stop it. In the end, Nowitzki led the team to win the first championship in team history. That year, the Mavericks' championship was very valuable, and the game was also very enjoyable.

5: The Lakers vs. Celtics

The 10-year finals actually just look at the matchup between the two sides. As old opponents in the 2008 finals, they can be said to be full of confrontation when they met again in 2010. The defense intensity of both sides in the entire series is very high, and it is difficult to score 100 on either side.

However, the Lakers finally won the series with rebounding and performance at critical moments. The championship that year was also Kobe's favorite. With his fifth championship and second FMVP, he officially became a super giant in the NBA history.

4: The Bulls vs. Jazz

98 was Jordan's last finals in his career. After he led the team to defeat the Jazz in 1997, the Jazz overall wanted to complete revenge. So after the two teams met again in 1998, the topic and intensity of the finals were very full. However, Jordan is never ruthless in the finals. He hardly dragged the finals to tiebreak. So in the sixth game of the finals, Jordan made a final shot when the Bulls were still behind at the critical moment. That mid-range shot was also the shot of the century, and Jordan won the sixth championship in his career.

3: In 1984, the Celtics vs. Lakers and the Celtics met many times in the finals, and in 1984, the meeting between the two teams was also full of topics. As the peerless doubles in the NBA during that period, Magic Johnson and Bird can be said to be the top-notch match in the finals. In the first six games of the series, the two teams tied 3-3, but at the critical moment, the Celtics stabilized their position. Bird performed well in the tiebreak battle and led the team to defeat the Lakers and won the championship. Bird averaged 27+14 per game in seven games in the series, so he won the FMVP trophy without any suspense.

2: The 2013 Heat vs. Spurs

The 12-13 season is the defending season of the Heat. After winning the championship in 2012, the overall condition of the Heat is getting better and better. James' mentality is also relaxed unprecedentedly. In the regular season, he led the Heat to a 27-game winning streak. The team once again reached the finals with a strong attitude, but their opponent Spurs are also excellent, so this is destined to be a match like Mars hitting the earth. The competitive states presented by the two teams in the entire finals are top-notch, and the arrangements and tactical arrangements of both sides are also very exciting, both on and off the court. In Game 6 of the series, the Heat were still behind in the last moment, but fortunately, Bosh grabbed the frontcourt rebound and passed the ball to Ray Allen. Ray Allen decisively pulled out a three-pointer to help the team enter overtime. The Heat did not give the Spurs a chance in overtime. In the end, they reached the tiebreak. In the tiebreak battle, the Heat changed their previous sluggish state. James, Wade and Bosh all performed well. In the end, the Heat won the second consecutive championship. That year's finals were full of excitement and the game was exciting.

1: The 2016 Cavaliers vs. Warriors

ranked first in the 2016 Finals. Although nine seasons have passed, fans still remember the scenes of the finals that year. When the Warriors, who had won 73 in the regular season, took a 3-1 lead in the first four games of the series, almost everyone thought the Cavaliers were easily defeated. However, afterwards, James and Irving stood up, both scoring 41 points, keeping the suspense of the game. After that, in the sixth game, James scored 41 points again and tied the big score to 3-3, and in this way, the finals were dragged into tiebreak.

In the tiebreak battle, both sides played extremely fiercely. In the last moment, James' chase block and Irving's key three-pointer completely ended the suspense of the game. In this way, the Cavaliers achieved the only return in NBA history when they were lagging behind 1-3 in the Finals. The viewing performance of the Finals that year was at the top of the list, which was no suspense.
