1977 NBA Semi-Finals Game 6 - Portland vs Denver - Radio Broadcast
On May 2, 1977, the Portland Trail Blazers faced the Denver Nuggets in Game 6 of the NBA Semi-Finals, a pivotal moment in what was becoming an increasingly competitive series. The Trail Blazers, led by Bill Walton, were in the midst of a season that would ultimately see them capture their first NBA Championship. This particular game took place against a backdrop of high expectations and intense playoff atmosphere, with the Trail Blazers seeking to capitalize on their home court advantage to close out the series. Denver, featuring key players like David Thompson and Dan Issel, aimed to extend their playoff run by forcing a seventh game. The matchup was not just a test of talent but of strategies and resilience, as both teams were known for their strong defensive play and efficient scoring.
The game unfolded with a series of runs by both teams, reflecting the tight competition that had characterized their previous encounters that season. Portland's ability to control the tempo and leverage Walton’s inside presence was crucial, while Denver relied on their fast-paced offense to keep the pressure on. This game was indicative of the evolving NBA, where a more dynamic and physically demanding style of play was beginning to take center stage, setting the tone for future developments in the league.

Tayshaun Prince - The Greatest Block in NBA Playoff History... Until LBJ? / May 24, 2004 - Nursing a two point lead late in Game 2 of this Eastern Conference Finals series, Pistons forward Tayshaun Prince successfully chases down the Indiana Pacers' Reggie Miller and tallies Detroit's 19th block of the evening.
The Pistons would go on to win game 2 and eventually the series. Detroit would then defeat the Los Angeles Lakers in 5 games to win their first NBA championship in 14 years.
Contrary to the broadcast's assertions, this game did not set the all-time mark for combined blocked shots in a playoff game. That mark still belongs to the 1981 Game 1 performance between the Milwaukee Bucks and Philadelphia 76ers, who combined for 29 blocked shots. The 76ers also set the single-game mark with 20 (thanks to Corey Rondeau for the cite).

Michael Jordan Career High Highlights vs Cavaliers - 69pts! / Boxscore: http://www.basketball-reference.com/boxscores/199003280CLE.html
-----
MJ was a nightmare for pretty much every other team that wasn’t in Chicago, particularly the teams that were aligned in the Central Division.
The Cleveland Cavaliers probably got the worst of Jordan’s wrath, particularly during the late 80’s and early 90’s; it’s not that the Cavs were a bad team. In fact, they were one of the better teams in the league, but Jordan just had their number in every which way possible.
With that said, it shouldn’t come as much of a surprise that Michael’s career high for scoring in a single game came against the Cavs.
P.S. In his honour, a points counter is added and all points including the free throws are edited in the video.

John Salley: Magic, Not Jordan, was the Reason Isiah Thomas Didn't Make the Dream Team / In this clip, John Salley explained where the origin of the perceived beef between Michael Jordan and Isiah Thomas started. According to John, it was sparked by Isiah's nephew wearing a Chicago Bulls jersey which made Isiah develop a certain disdain for the Bulls. But John explained further that it wasn't personal. He also said that the story of MJ keeping Isiah off the Dream Team was a myth and in fact, it was Magic Johnson's doing which kept him from making the Olympic squad.
Later on, John Salley talked about the Bulls becoming a force only after Scottie Pippen assumed more responsibility and that the narrative around the "Bad Boys" of the Detroit Pistons was started by Phil Jackson.

Isiah Thomas 12x NBA All Star on Detroit Bad Boys, Magic Johnson & Feud w/ Michael Jordan / Ryan, Channing, and Fred sit down with one of the most iconic athletes who just happens to be their long time idol, NBA hall of famer, Isiah Thomas. The original Bad Boy of Detroit Pistons is opening up and talking everything from his relationship with Magic Johnson to Detroit Pistons changing the game to sharing his side of the infamous Michael Jordan feud.
Isiah starts the show saying very simply that he is going to state facts and you can’t argue facts and that it’s one thing to win a championship in the NBA but it’s another to win a championship at every level ever played.
Growing up on the West Side of Chicago, Isiah shares how his upbringing was shaped by his mother’s guidance and a family first mentality where his mother cared more about the type of man he’d become vs the money and opportunity being offered. His mom’s influence was so great, it became her decision where he played college basketball and also who he played for.
Explaining how he ended up in Bloomington, Indiana playing for Bobby Knight, he expounds on the life lessons that shaped him there not just winning back to back collegiate championships.
The West Side of Chicago is home to many activists and organizations such as Fred Hampton, Martin Luther King Jr, and The Black Panther Party. Isiah grew up in this environment and recalls marching alongside his mother with Dr.King. Spearheading change at the national level, Isiah used his local groundwork in Detroit to advocate for Black journalists covering the team, more rights for Black NBA players leaving a greater impact with his legacy not just on the court but in culture.
Isiah makes his case known for why so many people overlook Detroit Pistons as transcending the NBA and shares what the team really did for the league and how they were the firsts to do many things back then setting the example of how teams should be and move.
Known for his historic rivalry with Michael Jordan, Ryan asks what were his thoughts on the way his character was portrayed by Jordan in The Last Dance. Isiah provides The Pivot with an exclusive inside look to his true relationship with MJ and goes on to say that he always looked out for Michael and that their families were even close. He also speaks about how rules within the NBA were changed to protect Michael Jordan. Isaih doesn’t hold back as he shares his thoughts on while he was deemed the a-hole of the NBA when in fact he was the nice guy.
Lastly, Isiah lets the guys in on the history of his and Magic’s close relationship and what led up to their legendary interview. He gives credit to the current legends playing the game such as Lebron James, Stephen Curry, and Kevin Durant, and says they’ve transformed the game in

1970 NBA Finals Game 7 • Los Angeles Lakers at New York Knicks - Radio Broadcast / Game 7 of the 1970 NBA Finals, held on May 8, 1970, is one of the most iconic games in basketball history, primarily due to the dramatic return of New York Knicks center Willis Reed. The series was between the New York Knicks and the Los Angeles Lakers. Going into Game 7, the series was tied 3-3, making this game the championship decider.
The most memorable moment came before the game even started. Willis Reed, the Knicks' star player and captain, had suffered a thigh injury in Game 5 and missed Game 6, both of which had significant impact on the team's performance. His status for Game 7 was uncertain. However, in a moment that has since become legendary, Reed limped onto the court during warm-ups, inspiring his team and the crowd. He scored the Knicks' first two baskets, and although he didn't contribute significantly in terms of points for the rest of the game, his presence had a huge psychological impact.
Walt Frazier took the spotlight for the Knicks, delivering a remarkable performance with 36 points and 19 assists. His play, combined with Reed's inspiring presence, led the Knicks to a 113-99 victory over the Lakers. This game was a defining moment for the Knicks, as it secured their first NBA championship.
The game is remembered not just for its on-court excellence, but also for the dramatic narrative and the sheer determination displayed by Reed. It remains a defining moment in NBA history, often cited as an example of leadership and perseverance in sports.

NBA 1965 Boston Celtics vs 1965 Los Angeles Lakers • Full Game Simulation / The 1965 NBA matchup between the Boston Celtics and the Los Angeles Lakers is a classic confrontation in the annals of basketball history. This was a time when the Celtics were in the midst of their legendary run of 11 championships in 13 seasons, under the leadership of the iconic coach Red Auerbach and with the indomitable Bill Russell at center. On the other hand, the Lakers, though not quite the powerhouse they would become in later years, were a formidable opponent with stars like Jerry West and Elgin Baylor lighting up the court. During the 1964-65 season, the Celtics had the upper hand, ultimately defeating the Lakers in the NBA Finals. However, the Lakers were always a tough challenge for the Celtics, and their games were often closely contested. This full game simulation should provide a fascinating look at two of the most storied franchises in NBA history at a pivotal time in their rivalry.
