94-95 Rockets still own the record for the lowest seed to win the nba title at 6th seed with 9 road wins
This year Heat is 8th seed with 3 road wins so far, Lakers are 7th seed with 2 road wins so far, Warriors are 6th seed with 2 road wins so far.
Still remember calling my dad on his car phone to see if i can watch Dream vs. Dave game 1 (we weren’t allowed to watch TV on weekdays) and him bursting thru the door right before tip off. Sunsets in May always bring me back to those times for some reason. Alot has to do with mid 90’s NBC presentation and pregame promo packages also.
