In 1994 Dikembe's Denver Nuggets eight-seeded team was the first team to ever beat a number eight seed in a playoff series. Wouldn't it be great if this can happen this year? Maybe the championship! --------------------------------------------------------------- Mutumbo's reaction is priceless. Falls to the ground, holds the ball with two hands and says something.
I'll never forget that game. Seattle's D was so tough down the stretch I think Denver had three 24 sec violations in the last 5 minutes. But Deke blocked Shawn Kemp 3-4 times late when he took it strong to the hoop. Game 5 was very dramatic.
If I recall correctly, Seattle actually forced overtime on a miracle putback at the last second. I watched the 4th quarter and OT of that game, and I was stunned when Denver pulled off the upset. Robert Pack was insane that day.
