Here are some of the more memorable moments experienced during my personal following of the NBA Conference Finals. Of course, this is timed with the current conference finals in progress.
2002 - Lakers vs. Kings
The foul was on... Mike Bibby. Some questioned the call during Game 6, giving the Lakers the advantage, allowing a Game 7. The Lakers went on to win the series and ultimately the NBA Championship. Also, an important moment earlier in the series was when Robert Horry made a 3-pointer at the buzzer to win the game.
1994 - Pacers vs. Knicks
Spike Lee and Reggie Miller. Although the Knicks went on to win the series, Miller's Game 5 performance was incredible, and some blamed Lee for his antics, although Miller shined on the floor. The game had a significant role in the ESPN 30 for 30 documentary "Winning Time: Reggie Miller vs. The New York Knicks."
2007 - Cavaliers vs. Pistons
In Game 5 Lebron James carried the Cavs on his back, in a tough environment known as the Palace of Auburn Hills. Scoring the team's final 25 points in a double-overtime victory, the Cleveland took a 3-2 series lead. And in Game 6, Rasheed Wallace was ejected by technical fouls, and the Cavs won the series, going to the NBA Finals for the first time in franchise history.
