From star players mopping the floor, to giving up the game-winning shot, these are the most unselfish moments in NBA history. And first, we gotta talk about the time Rajon Rondo had a wide open layup.
**SPEAKER_2** (0:16)
Down court, it's Rondo, and he'll get a pass off to Moore, and he missed it.
**SPEAKER_1** (0:22)
Was that unselfish or just stupid? I don't know, but I know Jimmy Butler made the smart play cause he wanted to get Steph Curry going, so he gave up his own bucket.
**SPEAKER_3** (0:32)
Steph has a field goal, you score.
**SPEAKER_1** (0:33)
But LeBron was trying to help Kyrie anyway he could cause when Kyrie fell down, LeBron pulled his ass up mid dribble.
**SPEAKER_4** (0:42)
Trying to draw the charge from Kyrie, there he gets the ball, across the time line.
**SPEAKER_1** (0:47)
Now that's teamwork, but if there's one player that's 0% selfish, it's Steven Adams. I mean, Mason Plumlee was about to practically die and Steven saved his life.
**SPEAKER_3** (0:56)
Adams Plumlee goes over the top.
**Dwyane Wade** (0:58)
Adams making sure he's OK.
**Shaquille O'Neal** (1:00)
That was a great sportsmanship play right there by Steven Adams.
**SPEAKER_1** (1:03)
Give that man a Nobel Peace Prize. And Yannis was giving out awards too, because when Lakers rookie Idu Thiro scored his first NBA bucket, Yannis stole the game ball for him.
**SPEAKER_4** (1:12)
You gotta give the basketball. Come on.
**Shaquille O'Neal** (1:14)
It took some fighting for it.
**SPEAKER_9** (1:15)
It took some time. The ref wouldn't give us the ball, so Yannis took it and gave it, so have respect to him.
**SPEAKER_1** (1:19)
But every unselfish play involves sacrifice, and LeBron knows this. He gave up his streak of scoring 10 points every game for Rui Hachimura.
**SPEAKER_10** (1:27)
To James. Kick it. Corner. Rui!
Rui the winner to win the game! Rui wins it, and James gave him the basketball.
**SPEAKER_1** (1:38)
That's a winning play right there. And the Warriors made one play that was a fat W, because they put on a show sharing the ball.
**SPEAKER_11** (1:45)
So that's a winning that's it.
**SPEAKER_1** (1:54)
That was nasty, but this next moment's legendary, cuz when Bo Bon had a chance to score extra points, he knew if he'd missed, every Clippers fan would get free chicken. And even though they rooted against his team all game, Bo Bon did this.
**Shaquille O'Neal** (2:06)
He goes in a row. That's what he said.
**SPEAKER_10** (2:10)
I think he said he about to miss it, so he could get in the frame bird. I told you he's the nicest guy in the league.
**SPEAKER_1** (2:16)
That dude's a hero dog, but the Lakers are showoffs, cuz they showed the entire arena how cool unselfishness can be.
I could watch that a thousand times, but Greg Popovich couldn't watch what the Spurs fans were doing any longer, cuz when Kawhi Leonard made a return to San Antonio, he was at the free throw line getting booed mercilessly. And that's when Coach Pop asked the fans to stop.
**SPEAKER_14** (2:46)
Pop's on the mic.
**SPEAKER_4** (2:47)
We stop all the booing and let these guys play.
**SPEAKER_13** (2:49)
It's got no class. It's not who we are.
**Shaquille O'Neal** (2:51)
Knock off the booing.
**SPEAKER_14** (2:53)
Pop telling the fans to lay off Kawhi Leonard.
**SPEAKER_1** (2:56)
They really listened too, but LeBron is him, cuz when he played against Portland, he knocked her ass over.
**SPEAKER_15** (3:02)
Of what Damian is thinking, it just might have to be for him, at least in the next few games.
**SPEAKER_1** (3:07)
Now that's what a normal person would do, but LeBron's not normal. That's why every day for five years, he remembered that moment, and when he finally saw her again, he made her day. That's why he's the GOAT. But Kevin Durant's GOATed too, cuz when his coach drew up a perfect play for Katie to hit the game winner, Katie unselfishly demanded they run the play for Kyrie Irving.
Well, Kyrie took his chance to cook and deft up his first career buzzer beat.
**Andre Iguodala** (3:37)
Two seconds left.
**SPEAKER_10** (3:38)
Irving stops, takes, and hits. Kyrie Irving delivers the victory at the buzzer.
**SPEAKER_1** (3:49)
And being unselfish is nothing new for the Nets. I mean, when they played the Cavs, their whole team shared the spotlight and went apeshit.
**SPEAKER_10** (3:56)
Blake Griffin, Grazl Dazzle, Oh ho ho, next level! Kevin Durant, The Rack Attack, and one of the highlights of the year.
**SPEAKER_1** (4:07)
That's just beautiful basketball. But Anthony Edwards had to show respect, because he became the third youngest player to score 10,000 points.
**SPEAKER_10** (4:15)
