Reggie Miller steals Kenny Williams' gear

On this day, twenty years ago, the Pacers defeated the Hawks to progress to the Eastern Conference Finals.

A jubilant Reggie Miller conducted the post game interview wearing:

1. Kenny Williams' bandana*

 *probably

2. Kenny Williams' warm-up jacket

Mildly amusing as it may be, this combination pales in comparison to Reggie's ensemble for this photo shoot.

Here's some GIFs of Kenny Williams not wearing his own warm-up jacket.

The Dunks of Ron Mercer Appreciation Post

The '96 NCAA champion Wildcats squad was stacked with leapers, including Delk the GOAT, tomahawk specialist Derek "Pay Me" Anderson and cousin Walter McCarty.

But maybe the best of the lot, in terms of aerial artistry, was Ron Mercer. Opinion aside, here are a couple of his better efforts from early in his NBA career.

Who Dunked It Better? Kawhi Leonard vs Michael Jordan

We enjoyed Kawhi's dunk from the other night a great deal and we are going to suggest it had a little bit of Scottie Pippen about it. Even Kemp used to break out a similar dunk once in a while too.

We couldn't find any examples from either player, so here's Mike doing it in his rookie year. Very well may we add.

You know the type, loud as a motorbike: Danny Ainge silences Mario Elie

Game 3, Western Conference Semi-Finals

May 13, 1994

Danny Ainge doesn't forget.

In response to some encouraging words from Mario Elie earlier in the game,  former Toronto Blue Jay Danny Ainge fired the ball at Elie's head from near point blank range during the game's closing moments.
This years marks the twentieth anniversary of this retaliatory act.

Elie was in no fit state to go after Ainge after this head shot.

There is also a very important Chris Jent sighting in the top left corner. It's probably more important than the whole Ainge-Elie exchange.

For record, NBA Championships as a player:
Ainge - 2
Elie - 3
