It alters the course of those finals, arguable alters the course of the east for the next 6-7 years. Maybe that magic team starts its own dynasty while jordan is on hiatus. Maybe Shaq doesn't leave, and penny doesn't start sucking, and Nick Anderson becomes the perennial all star he was destined to be until those foul shots. Instead of bulls knicks each year maybe it's bulls-magic. Also in terms of how much that series destroyed Nick Anderson's mind, not only did all his stats drop next year... but his FT % went from mid 70s to 40%!!!

Game 1 of the '95 Finals was one of the better basketball games I've seen in my lifetime, and I've seen quite a few of them. If Anderson makes those free throws, not only does his career stay afloat, but the series is entirely different. I'll never see another player single-handedly destroy his career AND his team's championship hopes in 10 seconds. They might be the most dubious free throws in NBA history. <BR/>And you're right about Hillary, it will be interesting to see how it plays out.LSouthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11118635001610508531noreply@blogger.com
