Showing my age – but if you ask me “what’s the biggest gap upset series ever” it’s those Nuggets beating those Sonics. Hindsight shows the Sonics just weren’t battle tested yet for hard fought playoff series – but I can’t tell you properly how that series was looked at. You would think the Sonics had MJ or something 😂 it wasn’t even a matchup – easy 3 game sweep going half speed for the Sonics they were just miles ahead of the Nuggets – who were seen as reasonably talented but just raw unpolished as fuck. Mutombo played the best rim protection defence I’ve ever seen those last 3 games (he was pretty good the first 2)
Give me the 3-1 lead 2016 warriors for a 73-9 warriors to put it into perspective they lost 4 games in which is almost 50% of the losts the warriors had in the entire season.
Luka rewrote the narrative so badly that y'all forget that the Suns were the huge favorite to make it out of the west and were supposed to beat the Mavs in 5 games in 2022
In 2004, after game 2 when Stephen A. Smith from ESPN, kept saying these are "The Lakers, The Lakers, The Lakers" and then they sucked…that's when I knew Stephen A. Smith was one of the biggest hacks on TV. Whenever he's on I just change the channel or turn it off. He's the biggest blowhard around.
FANTASTIC list, but I would still put LeBron’s 2016 Championship as #1…. only because of the fact that it was to win it all. I get why you have the 04 Pistons at #1 tho…

"Most famous" maybe. In terms of most surprising, this list is horrible
Imagine if the grizzlies beat the thunder
I didn’t like number 10
For me it’s when raptors beat the bucks in 2019, bucks were up 2-0 then raptors came back when people doubted them, and Kawhi was playing hurt
Healthy Giannis couldn’t stop a injured Kawhi
This series should be talked more often
You look like your farts smell bad
How why is the Mavs not num 1?
Bro 2004 Pistons was a beast. They literally beat a team of Kobe, Shaq, Gary Payton and Karl Malone.
Most of these series were fixed.
That 2004 lakers team almost seemed fake. Prime kobe and shaq plus gary payton, karl Malone and Horace grant? Thats a 2k team right there

Giannis was injured against the heat. If he was healthy, they would have won
Yo I was about to write where is the Pistons
So i want u to say the GSW are GOOD NOW!!!!!!!🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉😂
04 was expected, the two Wallace were too much for Shaq and Robert

Cavs #1
Those pistons teams were so nasty
