Fittingly, today's clip for the 1987 NBA Finals shows us the aftermath of the Los Angeles Lakers' fourth NBA title of the decade. This is the celebration following their 106-93 win over the Boston Celtics for the title. Enjoy!
 
 
In honor of Clyde Drexler, here is the CBS intro to game 6 of the 1990 Western Conference Finals between the Portland Trail Blazers and the Phoenix Suns. The Blazers came back to win the game 112-109 and claim their first Western Conference crown since 1977. It features a vintage dunk from Drexler in the beginning! Enjoy!
 
 

Yes, even the videos section has returned after a lengthy hiatus! For Elvin Hayes, it was nearly impossible to find a positive video, so I came as close as I can. I'm posting a video I have on Youtube that shows the CBS intro for game 1 of the 1975 NBA Finals between the Golden State Warriors and the Washington Bullets. Hayes is prominently featured in this intro positively, but the result wasn't as good; Golden State won the game 101-95 en route to a four-game sweep.

 
 

With Darryl Dawkins as today's profilee, it makes sense to show at least one of his rim-breaking dunks. You'll see one during this clip, which is the CBS intro to game one of the 1980 NBA Finals between Dawkins' Philadelphia 76ers and the Los Angeles Lakers. Although Dawkins looks glorious here, the Lakers won this game 109-102 and eventually took the series in six games.

 
 

In honor of the 1980 NBA Finals, here are the final moments of game six between the Los Angeles Lakers and the Philadelphia 76ers. L.A. won the game 123-107 for their first NBA title of the Magic-Kareem era, with Magic securing Finals MVP with 42 points, 15 rebounds and seven assists. It was the start of a new era in the NBA.

 
 

Here's a clip from game seven of the 1988 NBA Finals between the Los Angeles Lakers and the Detroit Pistons in honor of James Worthy. It comes from the end of the third period. The Lakers won 108-105 to win their second straight title, with Worthy having his best game in the NBA with 36 points, 16 rebounds and 10 assists for his only career triple-double.

 
 

I'll post this clip autonomously to give a clue for the profilee later today. Hint: he plays in this game, which is CBS' intro for game 2 of the 1989 NBA Finals between the Detroit Pistons and the Los Angeles Lakers. Note that Pat O'Brien fills in for Brent Musburger for this game (Brent was at the College World Series at the time). The Pistons won this game 108-105 en route to a series sweep. This is also another of my videos on Youtube, btu rest assured; this won't become just my vids!

 
 

Though it may not be pretty, there is one clip that defines today's profilee, Kevin McHale. Here it is; the infamous clothesline by McHale on Kurt Rambis during game 4 of the 1984 NBA Finals between the Boston Celtics and the Los Angeles Lakers. Though things got really testy here, Boston had the last laugh; they won the game in overtime 129-125 en route to a seven-game series win.

 
 

In another of my uploaded videos, this autonomous clip is CBS' introduction to game 1 of the 1985 NBA Finals between the Los Angeles Lakers and the Boston Celtics. This isn't the snippet from the NBA's DVD celebrating those Lakers; this is the full intro to the game, Brent Musburger and all! The Celtics won the "Memorial Day Massacre" 148-114, but the Lakers won the series in six games for their first championship series win against the C's. Check out the full game video (and I mean full game!) at my Youtube channel (DownsA530's channel)!

 
 

Today's autonomous pick is the CBS intro to game 1 of the 1989 NBA Finals between the Detroit Pistons and the Los Angeles Lakers. The Pistons won the game 109-97 en route to a four-game series sweep. I love the guy who posted this. You know why? Because it's me! Yes, that's right; expect me to post some more of my videos to this site as I upload them. Enjoy!
