mine was June 16th 1996.... Fathers Day ..........
I hadnt seen my old man in about 10 years, (divorce, not the best relationship, wont bore you with that) I just watched MJ and my Bulls beat Seattle 4-2 in the NBA Finals to cap off a REDICULOUS 72-10 season... MJ just won the NBA Finals MVP and was on the floor in the locker room crying holding the ball (he had just lost his father earlier in the year when he was found murdered)
not 5 minutes later, my door bell rang and I go to answer it and it was....my father... wow crazy timing.... HE doesnt remember alot as he was diagnosed with Lewy Body Syndrome (a horrible combo of Parkinsons/Alzhiermers), but that day I will always remember....
for 26 years Fathers Day was always the worst day of the year for me....but for THAT year, and the 4 since I have had my daughter in my life, Fathers Day has been the best day of the year HANDS DOWN....
anytime I see that game on ESPN Classics or NBATV I watch it and it gets me every time........
so...whats your best NBA related memory ? It doesnt have to be as "heavy" as mine...maybe it was your first game.....or the first time you saw someone dunk or hit a winning shot etc.... share your memories....
