CLEVELAND, Ohio -- It's the third week of 3rd & Short, which means we'll keep it short. You need to get through this and into preparation for the 20th Game 7 in the history of the Eastern Conference Finals.
The conference finals went to best-of-7 in 1958, so this is 61st year of that format, meaning 33 percent of Eastern Conference Finals have been pushed to the limit.
We intend to illuminate, entertain and inform every week, with a few things you maybe didn't know, and a few ideas you maybe didn't think about. With that in mind, before we get into the meat of our claim that LeBron James is two players, here's a brief history of the previous 19 times the East went to a seventh game.
