NBA playoffs not the only place ‘where amazing happens’
The past couple of weeks the NBA didn’t just treat the wider world to the Donald Sterling controversy but the best first-round playoffs in history. Five of the eight match-ups went to a Game Seven. Two of the others were won by the lower seed. So when you’ve seen the Oklahoma Thunder and Memphis Grizzlies bring each other into overtime in four consecutive games, or Damian Lillard clapping his hands demanding that inbound pass with 0.8 seconds left and draining that three-pointer to send Portland into delirium and the Houston Rockets on holidays, you’d understandably think when it comes to consistent high and late sporting drama there’s nothing like the NBA and its playoffs.
But there is.
