Now that the regular season is over, it’s time to take a look at Part 2 of the top 100 moments of the 2018-19 NBA season — both on and off the court.
Now that all 2,460 regular season games games are behind us, the 2018-19 NBA campaign has officially come to a close. The playoff field has been locked in, 14 teams are already on summer break and the stage is set for three more months of high-stakes basketball.
However, before we jump right into playoff matchups, we’d be remiss if ignored the extraordinarily entertaining season that was and avoided recalling some of the most important, enjoyable and downright insane moments that will stand the test of time.
While the top individual performances of the season are contained in another list, with the best individual highlight plays to follow on Friday, for our top 100 moments, we’ll be focusing on the high-octane duels, historic achievements, unforgettable streaks and bizarre, hilarious and otherwise standout moments from the start of the 2018-19 campaign in Game 1 all the way to Game 82. In case you missed it, here’s Part 1.
From the dominance of James Harden and Giannis Antetokounmpo to the broad picture of Luka Doncic‘s stellar rookie year to the best games and comebacks of the season, these are the moments — both on and off the court — that defined 2018-19. In other words, when we say “top” moments, we don’t necessarily mean “great” or “positive.” But whether it’s good, bad, amazing or downright ugly, these are the quintessential moments from the season.
While formulating a scoring system is impossible for such a task, we gave it a shot anyway, so if you don’t see your team here, be sure to check out those top 100 performances and top 100 highlights tomorrow for the memories that will make you proud of your fandom!
Without further ado, here’s Part 2 of our top 100 moments for the NBA season that was.
