Charles Barkley reveals he was so distraught after losing to Michael Jordan in NBA Finals that he became depressed
Finals on Monday night, Jayson Tatum, Jaylen Brown and co only have to look at Larry Legend's example for exactly what to do in a pivotal closeout game.Olajuwon was yet to flourish into the dominant center he'd later become while Bird and the Celtics were at the peak of their powers.
The Celtics' 'Big Three' frontcourt of Bird, Kevin McHale and Robert Parish - frequently ranked among the best frontcourts in NBA history - dominated the league en route to 67 regular season wins., winning the inaugural Three-Point Shootout and averaging 25.8 points, 9.8 rebounds, and 6.8 assists, and 2.0 steals per game to became just the third player in NBA history to win three consecutive MVP Awards.
Bird did just that, and recorded two triple-doubles in the series, including a 29-point, 11-rebound, 12-assist and three-steal performance in a closeout Game 6.
