Summary: Emphasis on the History, Not the Moments
Comment: While this was a solid overview of NBA history, you should be advised that this is what it is, NBA 101. From the title, I was expecting more along the lines of great plays and clutch shots than how the league was formed and a sequential decade-by-decade saga. There are quite alot of great plays and unforgettable moments, but not nearly what was expected based on the title. While they were trying to be historical, though, I thought some notable oversights among players were Connie Hawkins, Dave Bing, and Bernard King. They mentioned Earl 'The Pearl' Monroe but did not show a clip of this amazing player. There also was no coverage of the All Star game or the Dream Team of 1992. Mention of some of the great announcers might also have been nice. On the plus side, the segments on the Celtics, on the Magic-Bird era, and the Rise and Rise of Air Jordan were well done. And there are a lot of great extra features, the best being an in-depth history of Game 5 of the 1976 finals between the Celtics and the Suns. The DVD brought back a lot of great memories and served as a solid introduction to basketball history for my son, but still was not the highlight-reel fest suggested by the title. I'd call it a nice lay-up but no slam dunk!!!

Summary: Not a Bad Overview.
Comment: Not a bad overview of the history of the NBA, and it's greatest moments.
The documentary takes you from the introduction of the shot clock, through George Mikan's days as the first big man, past Wilt's 100 point game and up to recent times.
However, most of the greatest moments are playoff related, so if you already own Greatest NBA Finals Moments, you might want to consider this purchase.

Summary: Excellent history of the NBA
Comment: This is a first-class, decade-by-decade review of the NBA's championship teams, with excellent pacing, great clips, and a judicious mix of interviews, both current and contemporanous. The video builds in a sense of dramatic tension as well. It's not really about "moments" (I was thinking about specific shots or moves) - rather, it's about championship teams and rivalries. You get a sense for the sweep of NBA history - the players and coaches and great teams - in a very tightly produced DVD.
I got this for my basketball-crazy 14-year-old, but the whole family was immediately engrossed in it. A very high-quality production - strongly recommended.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Entertaining, but boring aswell
Comment: I love the NBA, I love watching great moments, however the majority of these presentation is in the old days. The Celtics of old who won 11 titles were great, but I thought there would be a balanced amount of modern champs too. Still good dvd to add to your collection, but not the greatest as the title would suggest.

Summary: Greatest Moments in NBA History is a HIT with my teen!!!!
Comment: I bought this DVD for my son, 14, who absolutely LOVES it!!!!!! He watches it nonstop and can just about give you EVERY detail about all the great moments and championships in NBA history. He has acquired knowledge of the marvelous basketball greats of the past. If you love basketball, you'll love this DVD. 5 STARS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wilt Chamberlain's 100 points in a single game. The Celtics' John Havlicek's steal in the 1965 Eastern Conference Finals against the 76ers. A visibly injured Willis Reed inspiring his Knicks team to victory in the 1970 NBA Finals. Magic Johnson's baby hook buzzer beater against Boston. Kobe Bryant's alley-oop to Shaquille O'Neal in the 2000 Western Conference Finals on the way to the NBA title. Dwyane Wade's stellar MVP performance throughout the 2006 NBA Finals. These are but a few of the great moments covered in this amazing DVD. From basketball pioneers George Mikan and Red Auerbach, to the stars of the new millennium Steve Nash and Lebron James, celebrate the teams, players, coaches and relive the moments that define the evolution of the game and greatness of the NBA.
