1. Ba ba ba ba ba basketball gimme gimme gimme the ball because I’m gonna DUNK IT

2. I was in college at UDel. Amazing night/game. Gave us hope.

3. The Eric snow runner is the most underrated part. If lakers get the ball back I bet we would’ve lost. People don’t realize how big of a win this was. Lakers were unstoppable. Hadn’t lost a playoff game up until then. Winning this game was as shocking as winning the lottery.

4. Classic

5. Raja Bell hit a huge shot late.

6. Man this gave young me such hope we were actually going to slay the giant.

7. These mfers had me HYPE 😃 and believing after this game and then……. 😔

8. I never realized that Iverson walk was actually in the clutch. Wow.

9. Watched this on a similar tv, but with a bit more static because the bunny ears were acting up. I had to stand by the tv and hold them for a bunch of the game. Core childhood memory.

10. That time hit differently…

11. All I remember is the Horry dagger in the corner in game 3. Heartbreaking.

12. That game was on my 30th birthday and while everyone knew they were gonna lose the series, getting that first game was an awesome bday gift.

13. I made my first actual bet with a bookie that night. My $20 won me $50. Being a degenerate, I can pretty much trace it back to this night.
