Not a Bad Overview.

"Not a bad overview of the history of the NBA, and it's greatest moments.
The documentary takes you from the introduction of the shot clock, through George Mikan's days as the first big man, past Wilt's 100 point game and up to recent times.
However, most of the greatest moments are playoff related, so if you already own Greatest NBA Finals Moments, you might want to consider this purchase."
Entertaining, but boring aswell

"I love the NBA, I love watching great moments, however the majority of these presentation is in the old days. The Celtics of old who won 11 titles were great, but I thought there would be a balanced amount of modern champs too. Still good dvd to add to your collection, but not the greatest as the title would suggest."
Excellent history of the NBA

"This is a first-class, decade-by-decade review of the NBA's championship teams, with excellent pacing, great clips, and a judicious mix of interviews, both current and contemporanous. The video builds in a sense of dramatic tension as well. It's not really about "moments" (I was thinking about specific shots or moves) - rather, it's about championship teams and rivalries. You get a sense for the sweep of NBA history - the players and coaches and great teams - in a very tightly produced DVD.
I got this for my basketball-crazy 14-year-old, but the whole family was immediately engrossed in it. A very high-quality production - strongly recommended."
Recommend for dads who try to explain the way it used to be

"I got tired of trying to tell my 13 year old about the old school players like Wilt Chamberlain, and had to find something visual for hiom to see their moves and understand the history of the NBA. This is it. Magic Johnson, Bird, they are all here with highlights of some of the greatest moments in the game. I recommend to all dads.
