    Fo Fo Fo Fi Not the Fo Fo Fo Fo that would have posthumously fulfilled Moses Malone's 1982 Fo Fo Fo prediction over the Lakers but one better than the actual Fo Fi Fo

    Pretty cool fact - Steve Kerr won his 2nd NBA title as coach of the Warriors 20 years to the day after winning one as a player with the Bulls, when he hit the game winning 3 at the buzzer against Phoenix. (I don't guess this applies in Cali since its not after midnight on the West Coast)

    Champagne bottles in Warriors locker rooms are limited edition Moët Imperial Golden Luminous Magnum bottles ($1,200 each)

    Now I hate them. Of course if the Cavs had won I doubt they would have sprayed the locker room with Bud Light

    I got the teams mixed up. Paxson's GW was vs the Suns. Kerr's was against the Jazz. My bad

    I'm not sure of who against and when but I seem to remember MJ hitting the winning shot against the Jazz. Wasn't it the game where Jordan had a bad case of the flu but played anyway?

    They beat Utah twice in the finals. The first time, Kerr hit the series winning 3pt-er. The 2nd time, Jordan crossed over (pushed off) Bryon Russell to hit a jumper at the top of the key to win it in his last game with the Bulls.

    Jordan did score 38 earlier in that series sporting the flu and a 102 temp., but I don't think he hit a buzzer beater in that game. I know how much of a baby I am when I have fever. I can't even imagine going out and playing basketball, especially at that high of a level, for 2 straight hours. Just another example of Jordan's legendary will to win.
