Of course Bird stealing the ball from Isiah is one of the NBA's greatest playoff moments, but I've always felt that Dennis Johnson making the layup is overlooked. Yes Bird's steal is more incredulous, but it's not like DJ had an open layup/dunk, he had to put a bit of reverse finger-roll on that shit with a body on him. And yet nobody ever mentions him, only Bird. - XMASTIMEI grew up loving the 80's Celtics, watched any game I could on a Saturday afternoon, and surely watched almost all if not of every game I could of the 1985 NBA Finals. And yet until I stumbled on this clip, I had no idea DJ hit a buzzer beater to win Game 4. I mean I understand it woulda been different if the Celtics had won the Series, but all the millions of Celtics docs of seen, including the Bird/Magic one about 9,000 times I don't remember anybody mentioning it. π€π€·♂️
