Video worth sharing.

Reliving 2010 was a bit torturous though.

That was a mostly good watch. I hated every Laker & Miami win. TP.

I think the end of the 2001 Finals was a little interesting.  Go to about the 2:48 mark. 

With the game in hand in the final seconds, Rick Fox throws a 30 foot alley-oop to Shaq where the pass actually goes in so it counts as a 3.  Looks like there's a few tenths of a second difference between the shot clock and the game clock, so I can see the Lakers doing something to get rid of the ball, but that's just salt in the wounds (and I know opinions vary as to the classiness of doing something like that in those situations).

Now after the play it looks like Fox practically mugs the Philly player (Raja Bell?) to get the ball back.  If I was Bell, I would not have been too happy in that situation. Maybe I shove Fox leading to a little scuffle or even a brawl (that would be pretty cool) or maybe I chuck the ball into the stands (pretty cool too).  Bell definitely did the right thing and just gave the ball to Fox, but I could see that unfolding a different way.

After 18 months with their Bigs, the Littles were: 46% less likely to use illegal drugs, 27% less likely to use alcohol, 52% less likely to skip school, 37% less likely to skip a class

Yes I remember seeing this in the video and thought it was very odd the way he went after the ball.
