Chris Childs practically eliminates the Raptors from the 2002 Playoffs by-himself with a horrendous last minute in a deciding game 5.

    Was a bad ending to a pretty cinderella end of the season. As someone else said AD is probably the best long term center we ever had, and was ahead of his time in terms of being an undersized mobile center yet had the strength to battle the lumbering guys of the era. He was a great man defender, great help defender and rim protector and an ok offensive player, and a leader. People forget that after he left we had a huge hole in the center until Rasho and a list of crap centers between.

    Thing is, Chris Childs had a pretty good game up to that point, which made it super disappointing for him to make a crucial mistake. Curry should have had the shot as he was on fire that game.

    Also, I cannot find a clip but anyone remember during that series, Barry got called for a foul, he then ran to the scorers table next to the ref and put his shoe up on the table so he could tie it. The ref mistakened it for something aggressive and called a T on him, and the area started to jeer Baaaaaarrrry, Baaaaarrrryyyy. It was such an iconic and epic moment, that I am afraid is lost to time as no one remembers it, and no clips are available.
