Scottie Pippen and Pete Myers
The 1994 Eastern Conference Semi-Final series between the Bulls and the Knicks is best remembered for two things:
1. Scottie Pippen dunking on Patrick Ewing
2. Patrick Ewing leading the Knicks past the Bulls for the first time (despite some controversy)
NB: To a lesser extent, it is infamous for the Game 3 brawl right in front of then NBA Commissioner David Stern
Which (un)naturally leads us to Pete Myers.
The Pippen on Ewing incident was a classic "Austin %$*J@# beer truck!" moment where your brain effectively shuts down in response to an event that is beyond comprehension.
Hence you are forgiven for not noticing that Pete Myers, the Bulls starting shooting guard during the "Baseball Experiment", was the man responsible for theimperfectly perfect bounce pass to Scottie.
Furthermore, it was Myers who was giving his former teammate an absolute earful while he lay compromised on that lonely baseline of the soon to be demolished Chicago Stadium.
So in the very next game, Scottie returned the favour, finding a cutting Myers who finished emphatically over "Fine" Herb Williams.

Who Blocked It Better? Thomas Robinson vs Isaiah Rider
Blocking a dunk is no mean feat. Throwing one back from whence it came is legitimate cause for celebration.
Thomas Robinson's denial of Corey "Derek Fisher" Brewer was a demonstration of impeccable timing and raw power, leading to a brilliant finish at the other end by Will Barton.
However twenty years ago, a young and brash Isaiah Rider, not content with dunking on the best big men in the league, decided he would take to reverse-posterizing them.

Hats off to Robin Lopez and Chuck Person who responded appropriately to these exceptional defensive plays.
