22 years ago today Tayshaun Prince blocked Reggie Miller

[ESPN Insights @ESPNInsights]

On this date in 2004, Tayshaun Prince came out of nowhere to chase down Reggie Miller for one of the most iconic blocks in NBA playoff history.

With the Pistons leading 69-67 in Game 2 of the East Finals and under 20 seconds left, Prince denied what looked like a game-tying layup attempt from Miller.

Detroit went on to win 72-67, holding Indiana to just 27.5% shooting.

@nbamark Didn't Grant Hill bring him on board as his personal shooting coach?

[Nick Brandel @MotorCityBanter]

Before the 2004 Finals even tipped off, plenty of people had already written the Pistons off.

Watch Ben Wallace explain how The Best Five Alive shocked the basketball world, captured the '04 title & helped redefine the game forever.

We need more enforcers in today’s NBA, Bill Laimbeer was a straight-up menace, getting under everyone’s skin and living rent-free in opponents heads.

Shout out to the guy on the porch who watched this entire scenario unfold and just sat there.

[Robert Sterling @RobertMSterling]

I just had the craziest experience at the airport.

We are about to board a flight to Atlanta when the pilot from the incoming plane walks out of the jetway. Guy is probably late 50s, salt and pepper hair, military look. The kind of pilot you instantly feel good about seeing on your flight.

Pilot walks over to the counter, gets on the PA system, and starts addressing everyone. “Folks, I’ve been doing this a long time. Flying one of these jets is easy. The hard part is looking at 130 people and telling them their flight is going to be delayed.”

Audible groans throughout the boarding gate. Most people here are flying to Atlanta as a layover before another flight. 130 people just had their day become a complete mess.

The pilot goes on. “I get it, trust me. But here’s the deal: During our landing, we had a small mechanical issue. I’m not your pilot for the next leg, but I don’t feel confident the jet’s safe to fly until we have a mechanical team look it over, and I don’t feel comfortable asking the next pilots to fly you guys until we get confirmation.”

He points at the agents next to him behind the counter: “Now, none of this is the agents’ fault. Please be kind to them. I’m the one who made this decision, not them, so any inconvenience you experience is my fault. Just please know that I don’t do this lightly, and I’m only doing it because I believe it’s in the best interests of everyone’s safety.”

Now this is where the story gets crazy. The pilot puts the microphone down, grabs his suitcase, and all the people in the gate…

Start clapping.

I’m not joking, everyone starts clapping for the guy. 130 people who just had their travel plans ruined give an ovation to the guy who made the decision and delivered the message.

All because he addressed them with decency and transparency, took ownership of the decision, made it clear that it was necessary, and explained why it was in everyone’s best interest.

It’s honestly one of the best examples of strong communication—of strong leadership, for that matter—that I’ve seen in a long time.

@Delta, whoever your Atlanta to Wichita pilot was this morning, he’s one of the good ones. Please tell him the delayed passengers of flight 1637 appreciate what he did.

This guy used AI to put himself in Game of Thrones and fix everything

On this day, 2003: Game 1 against the Sixers was controlled for 3 quarters by Chauncey Billups but when Billups was taken out of the series in the 4th by an Eric Snow special, a Turkish rookie stepped up with a perfect 7/7 night from the field, and Ben Wallace slammed the door:
