The Immortal Games

There have been thousands of NBA games and many more iconic moments, plays, photos, celebrations. But what are the NBA’s greatest games? Is it the game itself? How close the score is? Is it a duel between two offensive virtuosos going back and forth? Is it a clash of styles? East meets West? Offense meets defense?

In the game of chess, when a Grandmaster has a signature game, it is referred to as their “Immortal” game. One that stamps them into the history books. It might not be the most technically perfect game, or always against the best opponent. But sometimes the stars align, the position on the board falls perfectly into place and a dazzling crescendo of sacrifices and tactical brilliancies combine for a transcendent performance that lasts the test of time. That’s what this list is aiming for. Maybe not the 50 best games from a points for FG% standpoint, but all time elite play that makes for masterful story telling of league history from the best players ever.
