    The shot of Allen Iverson against Lue in game 1 of the 2001 Nba Finals… The little strongest man ever who beated the Lakers in game 1… incredible!

    My favorite playoff moment of all time was in the 2008 NBA playoffs. It was game 5 of the Eastern Conference finals. I was at the Q for the watch party on the jumbotron (the game was in Detroit). The game was close the entire time for the most part. In the 4th quarter LeBron took over. It was amazing, he scored basket after basket to keep my hometown Cavs in the game. After regulation was over the game was tied. The former king stayed hot. He scored all 9 of the Cavs 1st overtime points to send the game into a second overtime. James just stayed hot. Not only did he score all 11 of the Cavs second overtime points,including the game winning layup, but he also outscored the entire Pistons team who had 9. After every shot the Q was as loud with 7000 or so people as it is at every home game the Cavs have, even with their usual 20,562 fans to make it a sellout crowd. When the game ended I couldn’t get it out of my mind for months. Not only did I never see quite a game like that again, but I also couldn’t talk for 3 days! With that being said I hate LeBron James more than anyone in the world, and I will never forgive him.

    My favorite NBA childhood memory is not a specific game but rather my best friend and I, both then and to this day, cracking jokes about David Wood, a seldom-used benchwarmer for the Detroit Pistons. The guy couldn’t run, jump, shoot or look like a ball player. He reminds me a lot of myself in that respect. Anyhow, a lot of great memories there. There’s that and the two of us fighting over one 1990-91 Skybox Kurt Rambis basketball card. Google that for the humor.

    Until David Robinson and Tim Duncan won a ring together I was a fan of basketball players. I was a fan of MJ, Kobe, Shaq. I was a fan of stardom and flashiness. But then I watched that series and saw for the first time the genius of Naismith, rather than just the genius of those who benefit from his legacy. Watching the Spurs win with maturity, teamwork, and character played a big part in my own growing up. My favorite NBA childhood memory is from when the NBA helped me grow up.

    Man I can’t recall the exact year, but I do remember it was the Lakers against the Celtics in the mid 80′s when I was about 10 years old. We were visiting my relatives in Mexicali, Mexico and everyone was yelling and screaming for a good 2 hours while we kids played outside. I finally went to go see what all the drama was about, and there it was, my introduction to basketball. I couldn’t believe what these guys were doing on the court, especially Magic. I couldn’t speak a word of Spanish and my cousins couldn’t speak a word of English, but we cheered for the Lakers together. I was born and raised in L.A., but came back from Mexico as a life-long Laker fan!
