That's why we should never feel sorry for the Fakers and their idiotic fans, who not surprisingly only show up to cheer if the team is good enough. In '85 Bird played one handed, '87 was Parish, McHale, and Walton just about on wheel chairs, '88 Bird was totally gonzo after his best season ever. You want more. '58 Russel injures his ankle, '73 was the Havliceck injury and the Knicks beating us in the East. I mean seventeen flags could have been many more.
Know how the Fakers won any of their championships? By robbing the league. Chamberlain, Alcindor, Shaq. And that is that. So let's never ,ever feel sorry for them.
