In light of Tuesday night's incredible NBA Finals game (hopefully tonight's Game 7 will be just as exciting - by the way, what kind of fans leave a 5 point game with 30 seconds left? Seriously, do these people not know that Reggie Miller scored 8 points by himself in 9 seconds? Never leave a game that close. Stupid fairweather fans), today marks the 20th anniversary of the Chicago Bulls beating the Phoenix Suns in the Finals in 1993. Holy crap, 20 years. Really? The Bulls won Game 6 on a John Paxson 3 pointer, beating my team and my favorite player Charles Barkley. I remember watching that game on my tiny little black and white TV, because our color one was being repaired (remember TV repair shops? remember b&w TV, for that matter?). It was a heartbreaking game, but a very good series. I sure do miss those days, but it's been fun watching so many future Hall of Famers in this year's finals. I really don't care who wins the series, I'm not a fan of either team, and hopefully the Thunder will be back next year (once Barkley retired, I kind of lost interest in rooting for one team, but the Thunder have captivated my interest and Durant is by far my favorite current NBA player. I just don't have any die-hard allegiance to any sports teams outside of the Broncos. They're the only team I care passionately about). Anyways, enjoy the game tonight, hopefully it will be another classic.
