.This video actually includes a lot of great forgotten NBA moments, so I'm really excited for you to see it. I will have to say before I start that if you enjoy this video, be sure to leave a like. This helps eight Tom. You guys have been killing it with likes lately and I really think it helps so thank you and now. If you jump to this video, when looking at the history of the Toronto Raptors, you can easily say that it was one Vince Carter who put Toronto on Knapford's gun and after spending several stellar seasons with the team in the summer of 2004, Vince I was waiting. the Raptors will go all out for a championship Ross Steve Nash was actually a free agent at the time and Vince wanted the Raptors to try to sign him, however, the franchise wouldn't even try to sign Nash and this made Carter now right here.
Vince certainly didn't handle this situation well at all, he basically made no effort every time he was on the court and told the Raptors to trade him or he was going to continue playing horribly, this would result in Vince being
traded
to the New Jersey Nets. and if we take a minute to look at Vince's 2005 season stats here, we can see that the difference between Vince's Raptors stats and the Nets stats is staggering again, it's clear that Vince completely gave up on the Toronto Raptors and because of this. Vince was no longer a popular man in Canada, but it wouldn't take long for Vince to get his revenge, as on January 8, 2006, the Nets were playing the Raptors when Vince Carter would score 12 points in the final 75 seconds of the game. down by 6 when Vince Carter made his own mistake to cut the lead, then at the other end he grabbed a rebound and, but the Raptors scored, which meant that Vince Carter hadn't finished first, he would make two free throws. to make this a one point game and then after José Calderón surprisingly missed a free throw, Vince would already do this, this game is worthy of a section in this video, however, this is not where this story ends in the 2007 season, but in the first.In the playoff round, the Toronto Raptors would face none other than Vince Carter and the New Jersey Nets and believe me, the hostility was still there, as in the first game of this series this was the reaction of the fans when Vince played the ball for the first time. Yes, now at this point the series was tied one-on-one and this game was crucial, this meant that once again Vince Carter would rise to the occasion and finish with 37 points on 15 of 23 shooting on 13 points and from there the Nets they would continue. To win this series and to add insult to injury, we are now going to jump to November 21, 2000 because in this game the Nets were down 7 with about 45 seconds left when suddenly Vince Carter didn't let the New Jersey Nets lose first .
He was working his way to the basket and the lead was cut to 5, then on the next possession, great stop, here's Carter practicing, be careful with the point game, then after stopping Carter would take the ball trying to pass , reaches the hallway and ends the advantage. It was only two, but there were only four seconds left again, although the Raptors would miss a free throw, which led to this yes, another three-pointer from Vince, this one sent the game into overtime overall, this time Vince would score 12 points in the last few 45 seconds into this game and the thing is, Vince wasn't done yet because after Anthony Parker hit a crazy three-pointer to tie the game for the Raptors in overtime, it was Vince's time to shine once again now in 2014, Raptors fans would officially forgive Vince for leaving. an emotional ceremony for the franchise's 20th anniversary when DeMarcus Cousins was with the Sacramento Kings, his relationship with the team was seen as rocky at best and things with DeMarcus would only get worse after Mike Malone , a coach whom DeMarcus respected, was surprisingly fired and replaced by a George car and to simplify things here DeMarcus Cousins and George Karl did not get along at all this could be seen after DeMarcus was suspended after a fight over shouting he had with George Karl after a game against the Orlando Magic and years after his time with the Kings they had broken up DeMarcus did not hold back when stating that George Karl was one of the worst coaches he had ever had, so after Marcus In the first game in Sacramento, this is when DeMarcus would completely demolish his former team just 22 seconds into this game.
Cousins would make a dunk that would signal the beginning of a monster performance. Well, I say this because there are five minutes and 40 seconds left. The Pelicans were down 25-6 at the time, it didn't look like it was DeMarcus's night, but shortly after he would hit Jameer Nelson with an assist on a three-pointer to cut the lead to 16 and then on the next possession, it was Jameer, who I would give the ball to DeMarcus Ware. DeMarcus would show his versatility with a drive to the basket and really in this game overall DeMarcus would show the evolution of his offensive arsenal with two minutes and 30 seconds left in the game, however, the Kings We were still up by one when now up by four and with less than a minute left we had the dagger, what do you want?
We are boys and in the end the Pelicans would win this game 114 to 106 and Demarkus finished big 41 point 23 rebound and 6 assists performance, so DeMarcus certainly got his revenge, but even though he was surprised a little, DeMarcus has spoken very good of the sacrament, that is not the case with Blake Griffin because after leaving Chris Paul it was expected that Blake Griffin was going to become the sole fee of the Clippers franchise and the reason why many people, including Blake, believe this was that in the summer of 2017 the Clippers gave Blake a $173 million contract that was good through 2022, assuming Blake accepted their playoffs and during the Clippers' attempts to resize Blake, including It was reported that the team had a mock jersey retirement ceremony for him and, in addition, Clippers executive Lawrence Frank said: We are going to do everything we can to keep Blake as a Clipper, even if he is one of the most shocking.
The trade deadline deals in recent history would take place when Lake Griffin was dealt to the Detroit Pistons. This was a move that certainly took Blake by surprise when he posted this gift on Twitter after hearing the news. Lake would even say he found out. This news on Twitter is the ultimate form of disrespect and therefore, after being betrayed by his former team, it would soon be time for him to get revenge. However, this revenge would not come immediately as in their first game against the Clippers Lake and the Pistons would actually lose by 13 points and Blake himself had a disappointing performance shooting just seven of 19 from the field and only scoring 19 points and after this came a Blake who would confirm his anger towards the Clippers since the Clippers won the piston in their first game against his former teammate 108 95 until the final, yes, Blake finally refused to shake the hand of nobody, although on January 12, 2009, the teenager in Blake's first game in Los Angeles against the Clippers, revenge would come in a big way and things would really get tense here during pregame warmups, like when The Owner of the Clippers, Steve Ballmer, went to greet Blake.
Blake blatantly ignored Ballmer and instead ran to the locker room, which was a little petty, but the matchup here would officially begin when less than two minutes into this game, Blake scored three and then scored 26 points. However, in the first half we will fast forward to the fourth quarter, even though at one point Detroit led by 10 points in the quarter with 4 minutes and 45 seconds left for Pat Beverley Stanwyck to defend Tech against Ricky Jones. That wasn't a problem for Bleep Ass over the next three possessions. Blake Woods first fed Reggie Bullock for a three, then hit Andre Drummond for an easy dunk and again fouled Bullock for another three and finally, on possession number four, Lake took the ball himself and scored.
In that span, the Pistons would take an eight-point lead and hold five points and at the end of this night it was once again Blake Griffin who stole the show as Blake would finish with an impressive 44 points, 8 rebounds, 5 assists and 3 .roba Lake came out for what looked like a dunk but was interrupted by Patrick Beverley the two exchanged heated words but in the end Blake walked away with the last bit of trash talk a statement that continues into the 2004 offseason the Dallas Mavericks had a tough decision Dirk Nowitzki was the obvious face of the franchise at the time, but they also had a star-caliber point guard in Steve Nash.
Nash was an unrestricted free agent and was very interested in returning to the doubts, however, after Phoenix nationally offered a six-year contract worth more than 60 million dollars it was now decided not to match that offer , which I know isn't a trade, but the Mavericks made the decision to get rid of Steve Nash here, so give me a pass on this one because the story is great because in their first game against Dallas. After leaving the Mavericks now to record 17 points and 18 assists in a 107-101 Sun Victor, Steve Nash would win the NBA MVP award in 2005, however, it would be in that year's Western Conference Semifinals where Nash would get the final. revenge because in these semifinals the Phoenix Suns faced the Dallas Mavericks and this series would be a bloodbath that included a career-high 48 national game points for a loss, but Phoenix would recover to win game five and take a 3-2. to the series lead after Nash recorded a triple-double in game five, which meant the Suns were looking to close out the series in game six, but throughout this game Dallas controlled the pace and led by seven in the last quarter (it would be in this quarter). where the MVP would take them both, as with almost a minute left in the fourth fast forward to 20 seconds left, the sons are now losing three enter Steve - yes, first Nash cuts the lead to one end after the Mavericks would score two free throws Bay Steve Nash would hit a big 3-pointer that would tie the game and after Jerry Stackhouse missed a potential game-winning shot, now trailing 114 to 113, Nash would hit a 3-pointer to give the Suns a two-point lead.
Urk would then miss a layup. to tie the game and then Nash would assist Shawn Marion on a three to give the Suns a five point lead they would never relinquish, this meant the Suns won this game and the series which meant they were headed to the Finals. the Western Conference. and the final result for Steve Nash individually was an absurd 39 points, 12 assists and 9 rebounds, which made him the first player to achieve these numbers in a playoff game since Clyde Drexler in 1992, while for Dallas his season had finished and they were wondering what could have been like after this game Dirk Nowitzki said well, he played an incredible series and showed why he was the MVP.
I think he wanted to show Dallas what we missed and he did and years later Mark Cuban would admit that he made a mistake, not keeping Dirk and Nash together any longer which is pretty obvious although the last revenge game we'll cover today is a performance that helped end a dynasty because in 1985 the Bulls originally drafted Charles Oakley and Oakley spent the first three seasons of his career. in Chicago before being traded to the New York Knicks when Oakley was traded he was sitting next to Michael Jordan at a Mike Tyson boxing match and this move would leave Jordan in shock as he claimed at the time that they were giving up the best rebounder in the week, how are we going to replace?
Chicago would obviously replace that, as they would win championships in 1991, 1992 and 1993 and in each of these three seasons the Bulls would defeat Oakley and the Knicks in the playoffs. However, the year after Michael Jordan's first retirement, where he would possibly have the best season of his career because during the '94 season, Oakley would make his first and only all-star game and the Knicks would win the Atlantic Division and once again be the New York Knicks, who would face the Chicago Bulls this timein the 1994 playoffs and, as mentioned above, the Bulls no longer had Michael Jordan, which was a big deal;
However, this Eastern Conference semi-final series between the Bulls and Knicks would still be Even at three games apiece, he headed into game 7 at Madison Square Garden and it would be in this game 7 where Oakley's skills would shine and he was revenge because Patrick Ewing got into foul trouble and scored a total of zero points in the first. half would be Charles Oakley who would lead the Knicks from stealing the ball from Scottie Pippen to darting through the crowd and even hitting mid-range jumpers. Charles Oakley was playing like a man possessed and in the second half Ewing would regain his form and with Oakley already playing strong, the two would lead the Knicks to a victory in game seven, which meant the streak of three consecutive championships was finally over. was over and to finish this game individually, Charles Oakley would finish with 17 points, 20 rebounds, 4 assists and 3 steals.
Easily one of the most underrated playoff performances the leak has ever seen as Oakley helped end a dynasty here and of course he got his revenge and there we have it guys thanks for watching.
