It was just 10 years ago that two of the biggest names left in free agency were among the top 10 players in the league. Allen Iverson was leading Philly to playoff appearances while captivating audiences with his speed. T-Mac was chasing scoring titles and drawing comparisons to a young Elgin Baylor. Plenty has changed since then, but it never hurts to look back.
The last time there was a Game 7 in the NBA Finals was 5 years ago, and that series has a few interesting parallels to the Lakers/Celtics series. The Spurs and Pistons had played six riveting games, and were as even as two teams could be heading into the deciding game. Detroit, much like the Lakers this year, were the defending champs, and had home court for the final game. The Spurs, much like Boston, had cagey vets who came up big at key moments. Robert Horry was the Spurs savior that night, scoring 21 points in the 4th quarter and overtime, including a big 3 in the final moments to seal the win.
It’s hard to believe that 18 years ago today we saw Christian Lattener make one of the most memorable shots in the history of the game, moving Duke over Kentucky 103-102 in a classic. That game, and that Duke team, is the reason millions hate the Blue Devils now, and will be rooting heavily for [...]
It seems like just yesterday Duke was ranked in the top 5, and led by an All-American guard who could do no wrong. J.J. Redick had an amazing performance against N.C State, scoring 35 points to lead the Blue Devils to a victory.
Check out this flashback video of Michael Jordan’s defending champion Chicago Bulls taking on the Shaq and Kobe led Lakers for the very first time. It seems like just yesterday Nick Van Exel, Ron Harper, and Bill Wennington were all valuable contributors to NBA teams.
It’s been a decade since we had a GREAT NBA Slam Dunk contest. With apologizies to Nate Robinson, the contest has recently gone downhill fast. When Vince rocked the rim in Oakland, the bar was raised.
