It’s what NBA players live for when they were kids growing up playing basketball in the park, in their backyard or in their local gym. It’s the pressure surrounding the game, the fanfare, the adulation, and the oohs and aahs attached to a game with so much on the line that makes Game 7 a must-see TV event.
In a way, Game 7s are where reputations are made – good or bad. And it’s where memories are hatched and forever etched in everyone’s mind, and to be repeated over and over again for many years to come.
