Champions are remembered forever, but game-winning shots aren't soon forgotten, either. That's why some of the most memorable moments in NBA postseason history are buzzer-beaters.
In some cases, it was a series-clinching shot, while others sparked a turnaround for a player's team during the postseason. NBA fans continue to relive certain winning buckets regardless of the series result, too.
Based on difficulty, circumstance and series impact, let's walk through the best buzzer-beaters in NBA playoff history.
One important note: Each of these shots occurred with the buzzer sounding. So, any game-winning basket (a la Vinnie Johnson in 1990, Michael Jordan in 1998 or Kyrie Irving in 2016) with time remaining on the clock was not eligible to be featured here. Additionally, while the shots could force overtime, every basket happened in the fourth quarter or later.
