Adam Ryan | NBA history podcaster NBA Cobwebs Yes RIP! Game 5 still had to go to OT. Can also add there was a lot of 10th man/rookie Oliver Miller heroics late in G5 to go forward

Adam Ryan | NBA history podcaster NBA Cobwebs Grateful to have met him late in his coaching career. One of my all-time favorite players and people.

Magic had 20 PTS/10 AST/10 REB and Kareem had 38 PTS/11 REB/7 BLK/6 AST as the Lakers beat the Sonics, 111-105, and advanced to the NBA Finals.

Then known as Chris, Jackson's sublime talent often led crowds to raise the Rauf.

Basketball history is fascinating. The Anaheim Amigos opened the ABA's inaugural season (1968) versus the Oakland Oaks. A team with a gent named Jim, who, as fate would have it, played for the ABL's Oakland Oaks earlier that decade. I certainly Hadnot known this.

Today's Treasure from my collection: It is good to see Julius Erving recognized at the 76ers playoff games, as he is true basketball royalty. Loved these ads & shoes. I think Dr. J is overshadowed more than he should be by Bird, Magic & Jordan.
