The heavyweight matchup in the Western Conference finals between the San Antonio Spurs and the Oklahoma City Thunder has inspired me to list the best NBA playoff series since 2000.
There are multiple incredible matchups over the years, including epic rivalries and moments that have turned into the greatest moments in NBA History.
So many matchups to choose from, but here is the list of my top 10.
1Miami vs Spurs 2013
No wonder this classic series involving the Heatles and the mighty Spurs has been crowned the best playoff series since 2000 and is also up there for the best playoff series ever.
Headlined by two all-time greats in Lebron James and Tim Duncan, followed by names like Dwayne Wade, Tony Parker, Kawhi Leonard, Chris Bosh and Manu Ginobili.
A chess match between two of the greatest coaches of all time, with Gregg Popovich and Erik Spoelstra.
The moments in this series, beginning with Tony Parker's Game 1 dagger, and no one could forget the Game 6 Ray Allen shot to keep the Heat's season alive.
It all topped off with an unreal Lebron James closeout performance to seal the championship. An all-time classic series that went the distance and will never be forgotten.
