Today in NBA history...
Magic Johnson's sky hook with 2 seconds remaining in Game 4 of the 1987 NBA Finals ✨
The Lakers won and took a 3–1 series lead!
Amazing story for Sebastian Berhalter. Has become one of the best players in MLS. Named to US World Cup team. Reminder the Whitecaps got him for $50k four years ago.
"The way basketball works, usually the more physical team and the team that imposes their will more just wins."
— SGA on being the more physical team against the Lakers.
This is the first playoff series win for JJ Redick, who said his word of choice would be "Gratitude."
He said he's thankful for the Lakers organization, for the players, for his coaching staff and the larger staff, all of whom contributed so much.
🚨 The Lakers are looking to expand their front office staff by adding at least one Assistant GM and another potential high-ranking role.

Watch this before it’s wiped from the internet.
Sergio Garcia is 46 years old. Literally a middle aged father.
Still acts like a spoiled child. He’s lucky he has a lifetime exemption. Don’t think he will be an honorary starter one day. 😂
