As 2016 winds down, we look back at the biggest NBA moments from a pretty historic basketball year

Back in the late 2000’s and early 2010’s the NBA had a slogan that went “Where Amazing Happens.” It was a unique marketing tool used by the league because, well, the league is where amazing happened each night.

As the years went on, the league adopted new slogans for just about every new season from “Big Things Are Coming” to this season’s “This Is Why We Play.” All of them have their unique purposes, but after the 2016 the league has seen, it might as well revert back to “Where Amazing Happens,” because historic games and comebacks were seen along with an unthinkable acquisition and a historic regular season by an individual who might not win MVP and much more.

We look back at a few of the biggest NBA moments from 2016.

Honorable mention: Steph hits 13 three-pointers; Klay scores 60 through three quarters; All-Star game almost reaches 200 point total; Westbrook and Anthony Davis historic games to start season; increase of dual threat bigs.
