SIGNIFICANT HISTORY
2018: In an epic ECF Game 7, LeBron James played all 48 MIN to lead the Cleveland Cavaliers over the Boston Celtics with some incredible clutch buckets including an and-1 layup to cap off a 35 pt/15 reb/9 ast performance to lead CLE to their 4th straight NBA Finals (LBJ’s 8th straight) that was highlighted by Jayson Tatum‘s thunderous dunk on King James in the 4th Qtr
2015: Golden State Warriors defeated the Houston Rockets in the WCF to clinch their 1st NBA Finals appearance since 1975, led by MVP Steph Curry en route to their 1st of 3 Championships over a 4-year period
1991: SG Michael Jordan‘s Chicago Bulls finally won the Eastern Conference and reached their 1st NBA Finals in franchise history after sweeping the Detroit Pistons, the reigning 2x champions that eliminated them in the ECF both of the previous years. Some key Detroit players infamously walked off before the game ended without shaking Chicago’s hands
1985: In a 148-114 massacre of the Los Angeles Lakers, the Boston Celtics set NBA finals records for points (148) and FGM (62) that both still stand today as Celtics SF Scott Wedman also set NBA Finals records by going 4-4 on 3PA and 11-11 on FGA
1981: Philadelphia 76ers SF Julius Erving was named NBA MVP, becoming the 1st and only player to win MVP in both the NBA and ABA
1968: George S. Halas, founder, owner, and longtime HC of the Chicago Bears, announced his retirement from coaching after 318 career Wins and 6 NFL Championships
1968: San Diego, California (Padres) and Montreal, Canada (Expos) were officially awarded MLB franchises after league owners met for over 10 hours
1960: Baltimore Orioles MGR Paul Richards devised a solution for the passed-ball problem catchers face with SP Hoyt Wilhelm‘s knuckleball — a larger catcher’s mitt that teams use today
