There have been several incredible performances in NBA Finals history. Some of them are unforgettable and have shaped the game. Other players have underachieved and fallen short of expectations. But all true NBA fans remember unique performances by their favorite players. Let's look at some of the top 10 NBA Finals performances of all time.

Game 6 of the 2000 NBA Finals is considered by many to be the greatest Finals performance of all time. In addition to grabbing a record-breaking 61 points, Elgin Baylor and Jerry West combined for 76 points. And Baylor, despite missing out on a triple-double, remains the all-time leader in points in an NBA Finals game.

Kobe Bryant, Michael Jordan, Shaquille O'Neal, Tim Duncan, and Jimmy Butler are some of the players that have come up with some of the most amazing performances in Finals history. While all have played a role in shaping the NBA, some of the most incredible performances have been forged by the most talented players in the league.

LeBron James is one of the most dominant players in the NBA, and he's had some of the best Finals performances. He led his Cleveland Cavaliers to victory in Game 6 against the Golden State Warriors. With the series tied 2-2, the Cavaliers needed a strong performance to win a crucial game. Despite having the series on the line, the Cavaliers went a tad underprepared. The team managed only five players to reach double-digits in the entire series, and even had to play a few of their key players injured. However, LeBron's 41-point, 12 rebound, and 4-assist performance was a major factor in the Cavaliers' victory.

Tim Duncan's 2003 NBA Finals win is another great example of a champion with no real stats guy on the roster. His incredibly efficient shooting was complemented by his stellar defense. Not only did he average 21 points, but he also recorded 20 rebounds, 10 assists, and eight blocks.

Giannis Antetokounmpo is a Greek-Nigerian player who has made the playoffs many times, and his performance in Game 6 of the Milwaukee Bucks' NBA Finals series was no exception. With 50 points, 5 blocks, and a game-high 14 rebounds, Antetokounmpo's game became one of the most famous in Finals history.

In his first trip to the Finals, Shaquille O'Neal was a young center who was on the rise. Although O'Neal is past his prime at 33, he still showed his prowess as a paint player. At one point in the series, he tried to beat Reggie Miller, but Miller was just out of his depth at the time.

In the 2006 Finals, Dwayne Wade had a huge impact on the game. Despite the loss, he was named the Finals MVP. Despite being the underdog in the series, he posted an impressive 34.7 point, 7.8 rebound, and 2.7 steal average. That's pretty impressive for a guy who wasn't even a starting point guard in the regular season.

When the Celtics beat the Lakers in the 2008 NBA Finals, four Hall of Famers played the game. This was the first time an Eastern Conference team had beat the Lakers in the NBA Finals since the Celtics were the top seed.
