HOMAGE

40 years ago today, 6.5 million people formed a 4,152-mile human chain across America to fight hunger & homelessness, and for 15 minutes, the country stood together. Hands Across America, were you there? 🤝

The denim kit gets the love, but the stripes are the foundation. Two jerseys and one unforgettable summer. The kits that made American soccer cool.

This is what Team USA wore walking out at the Rose Bowl, Soldier Field, the Silverdome. In front of record-breaking crowds averaging nearly 69,000 a match.

In 1994, Team USA wore two jerseys that couldn't have been more different. One was mocked on arrival while the other did the quiet work. Both became legendary.

Fat fingers in the tweet: two years consecutively, third year being the first year which was 1978. Anyway, GO CAVS!

Thirty years ago, the Knicks and Cavs met in the playoffs for the third straight year. Before tonight's ECF tip, here's a look back at the 1996 First Round.

GAME 3 (MSG): Knicks 81, Cavs 76 | Sweep complete. New York moved on to face the 72-10 Bulls in the semis. The teams wouldn't meet in the postseason again until 2023, when the Knicks took it 4-1. Four series, four New York wins. The Cavs have never beaten the Knicks in the playoffs. In the words of Hanif Abdurraqib, “There’s Always This Year”.

GAME 2 (Cleveland): Knicks 84, Cavs 80 | A four-point road grinder. Cleveland's last real chance to flip the script...but it was gone.

34 points, 14 rebounds, plays every minute of regulation for the first time all year. Thunder 107-99. Four straight. First Finals trip since the Seattle days. Then Miami happened. Then Harden got traded. The dynasty that almost was.

Ginobili goes for 34. Doesn't matter. OKC steals it 108-103 behind a 13-point Thunder lead built in the third. Spurs are now on the brink at home of the team that just took their crown.

The NBA Western Conference Finals start tonight, but let's look back to 2012. The 20-game win streak. The 23-year-old super-team and the series that should've started a dynasty.
