The big fella also had 14 rebounds and five blocked shots. Man, that guy has game!
The Bucks won it on their home turf, spurring a joyous celebration for a franchise that last won a title when the point guard was ol’ number one, Oscar Robertson, and the big scorer was a certain Mr. Abdul-Jabbar.
Maybe this final would put the breaks on assembling the “super teams” like The Heat and Warriors.
Outstanding…wasn’t even born the last time they won…
Mixed emotions. Love the Freak but Phoenix, which for about four decades was one of the most intelligently-run franchises in sports, does deserve to win one someday. Not to mention the Colangelos had an uncanny knack for amassing favorite players of mine in the draft or by trade. Connie Hawkins (my all-time fave), Westphal, Davis, Nance, Sir Charles, Marion, Nash…
My folks retired out to “the Valley” in 1980 after which you were risking mayhem if you ever tried to get between Mom and the radio when the Suns were on.
