best had to be the mavs last year.

Jordan made it four times - tough to argue against.
Shaq twice - I would argue 2001 run should rank Shaq higher
Lebron actually ended number 2, which doesn't look that good, as the Heat wasn't all that dominant in the playoffs. But his stats were really eye-popping.
Hakeem, Duncan and Wade rounded out the top 10 - not much of an argument from me.
Pretty good list.
The 1995 Rockets run was pretty epic
95 Rockets, tbh. They played/beat the top 4 teams record wise without HCA. That alone makes it the most impressive.
Count me in on the '95 Rockets. Every team they beat in the playoffs was capable of winning the le that year, IMO.
Hakeem then
He destroyed Robinson, then dominated Shaq
It's no small feat
Surprising to see just how many people post before reading the article.
How can it not include 2011 Dirk?
Sorry, I meant to say Hakeem Olajuwon and the 1995 Houston Rockets.
Houston 1995 takes the cake.
Thunder would have been near the top had they won this year.
people think this is a team based ranking when it's based on players
Rodman 1996. dude was intoxicated the entire playoffs
Look at the article. You can't place Dirk's '11 higher than any of those runs.
put dirk in at #10 over wade's rigged performance
I'm in the minority, but I actually thought Dirk's 2006 run was better than his 2011 run..the 2006 Finals, particularly Wade, changed the perception of Nowitzki's run..
Jordan in '91 is easily the best of all-time, no other run is close..
I don't have any problems with the list, distinguishing the performances from 7/8 to 14/15 is challenging IMO..Kareem in '71, Bird in '86, Magic in '87, Shaq in '02 and Nowitzki in '11 deserve strong consideration..
I liked Hakeems 95 run to be up there, Spurs fan myself I witnessed that damn run lol.
Moses Malone in 83 deserves some consideration, can probably switch out Wade at 10.
The other ones doesn't get much of an argument from me, although I think there are too many Jordans. But it's sort of hard to switch out Jordan because he was really that dominant.
On the loser side, 93 Barkley was great, too bad he ran into 93 Jordan.
