Marlins over YankeesIf the Heat pull off this championship, what would be the closest championship run that nobody saw coming?
6 seed Rockets in '95
Pistons over Lakers.If the Heat pull off this championship, what would be the closest championship run that nobody saw coming?
Rockets had a ton of injuries that year and is the main reason they were 6th seed. Yeah it didn't seem as surprising. The one that always sticks for me is the Pistons/Lakers.They were coming off a Chip the previous year though. And they had the best player in the league.
Kendall is unraveling. Its making me sad.

Nah, best player in the league in '95 was David Robinson who won MVP of regular season. Olajuwon came in 5th in the voting behind Robinson, Shaq, Malone, and Ewing.They were coming off a Chip the previous year though. And they had the best player in the league.

The way NBA regular seasons go now we may never see another 70 win team for a long time.It really peeved me that I’m my lifetime I saw an NFL team go 16-0 and lose in the Super Bowl and a team go 73-9 and lose the NBA Finals. Might never see 17-0 or 74-8 in my lifetime
Glass half full. You witnessed 2 of the biggest chokejobs in playoff historyIt really peeved me that I’m my lifetime I saw an NFL team go 16-0 and lose in the Super Bowl and a team go 73-9 and lose the NBA Finals. Might never see 17-0 or 74-8 in my lifetime

Nobody saw HOU winning the 95 title despite them winning the chip in '94. Everyone thought PHX or SA was going to represent the West in the Finals that year. ORL was favored to win it all pretty much the whole season.
Hindsight is 20-20. He cooked DRob in the playoffs but like I said, nobody expected it prior to the series starting. Before the playoffs started, nobody was expecting Hakeem to cook like he did and certainly nobody expected the Rockets to win the title before the playoffs started. That's my point.MVP =/= Best player in the league.
Hakeem cooked DRob in their matchup that year too. With MJ on his hiatus, Im pretty sure it was a consensus around the league that Dream was the best player in basketball
Never in the history of the leagueHas an 8th seed won a championship before?
