For me nothing beats Ray's crossing Sasha's mug, reverse lay up in the NBA Finals.

Ray's 3 pointer to beat the Bobcats off the inbound steal is 2nd place.

Ray's series against the Bulls last year's playoffs is 3rd place.

These would be my top 3 too.  Nice choices.  Except I would add the super slow motion double clutch layup vs the Lakers too.  I think of that and the Sasha layup as a pair.

I've got to say that my favorite moment for Ray as a Celtic was when he stuck it to Sasha during the 07-08 Finals..we had already broken LA's spirits with that Historic Comeback in Game 4, then Ray proceeds to call for an ISO on Sasha - he just knew he could take him to the hole.

He cleared everyone else out..took a few dribbles, and blew right past him, LOL! He then proceeded to lay the ball up on the Opposite side of the rim, away from the outstretched hands of Pau Gasol.

And Then - to See Sasha go to the bench and cry..and pound that bench seat...Classic!!!

Any Laker Pain due to anything that The Boston Celtics do is Great, in my book. I respect LA, but hey.....

This play amazes me everytime I re-watch it. I mean, how is it humanly possible to hang up in the air for so long and make a reverse in three times?! I know it's super slow mo but still... amazing play and body control on that layup.

This one thing that stands out about the videos is that Ray is (and has always been) more than just a shooter.  I still amazes me when fans look at him that way, especially when they are Celt fans.

No he didn't.  You might say he deserved it as equally as Pierce, but I don't think he "deserved it over anyone".

Sorry, but Pierce was the MVP of the 2008 Finals.  The defense he played on Kobe in game 4 was incredible, and was the main reason series that looked destined for 2-2, was instead 3-1.  Ray had a great series, but most people look to game 6 and all the 3's he hit, but most of those came in the 3rd quarter when the game was already over.  I was more impressed with his defense and rebounding throughout the series.

Yeh, he's made a bunch of clutch 3's, but there was nothing better than the burning Sasha move.  It was the moment that made it abundantly clear that the comeback was complete and the Celts were going to be champs.
Yup

I agree with that top 3 list.

Not only was crossing Sasha amazing, but I believe he finished left and Gasol's face in the picture is priceless.

Pretty sure it's a wallpaper at Celtics.com

I liked his last second 3 pointer to beat Toronto a couple years ago the best.  I watched that about 30 times.
