The NBA has had incredible moments during 75 seasons full of emotions and historical feats. We’ve seen many players create their legends in the association, having moments that marked their careers and the history of the competition.
Photographies are the best way to remember those times, and we’ve collected a lot over all these years. Even now, we’re living moments that won’t be forgotten for the rest of history. Pictures allow us to travel in time to recall certain plays and celebrations and the NBA has many of them.
Recently, one fan started a thread, showing the most iconic pictures in NBA history. They have many of them, including some from Michael Jordan, where he celebrates championships, makes big shots, faces big rivals and more. Kobe Bryant is also a big part of this list with dunks, championship celebrations and duels with other players.
LeBron James also features on the list, as he’s had incredible plays during his career, some of which have become iconic around the community. More players like Allen Iverson, Wilt Chamberlain, Bill Russell, Stephen Curry and Kevin Durant have had their fair share of iconic moments caught on camera. Besides the original author, more fans add their own selections, creating an incredible collection of iconic pictures.

We’ve witnessed so many memorable moments during all these years. Pictures allow us to remember them and feel again what we feel when those big plays, championships and celebrations took place.
We’re pretty sure one pic is missing from the list and there’ll be one fan that will remember it and share it with the world.
