Hi! It's Seth. For the last few weeks, I've been researching and writing this Rewinder episode beginning with the final moments of the do-or-die Game 5 in the 1994 playoffs between the Denver Nuggets and the Seattle Supersonics. If you know some NBA history, you'll know the importance of this game. If not ... I won't spoil it for you. But suffice to say this is an exciting outcome between two really fascinating teams. It's got Kemp and Payton, it's got Dikembe Mutombo, and it's got some lovable NBA oddballs like Robert Pack and Bison Dele (formerly known as Brian Williams, may he rest in peace ... I wanna talk more about Bison Dele at some point soon). This is one of my favorite episodes I've worked in a long, long time, and director/editor Charlotte Atkinson made it look fantastic. You all get to see it a couple weeks before it goes up on YouTube. Hope you enjoy!

Milwaukee checking in... Can confirm Karl was regular season hard, but playoffs soft ('98-'03). Also, lets not talk about '22 - '23...

Anyone else spend too much time looking for their name in the end credits?

It's so trite to say "this is why they play the games," but...

Brock Samson

Whoa thank you!!! I have such deep memories of watching this game with my first girlfriend as a teen. Blast from the past

Great video, but I think there's a factual error at the end - we all are, in fact, sockpuppets for your dad.

Very enjoyable video, especially given that I am not that fond of the NBA

Bench guy becomes rebounding god by writing Ayrton Senna on his shoes, BRAZIL IS HUGE.

Daniel Brandes

Kemp and Payton were such a fun duo in NBA JAM

Even the ones of us who don't fake his diction so good

I really like the small writeup you made for this. Way better than just dropping it. Thanks, Seth!

The only time a sporting event made me cry

I actually might be your father. Please give me a chance.

I was in 6th grade in the Seattle area when this happened. I just remember going back to school the following Monday and all of the jokes at the Sonics' expense. "Why can't the Sonics go to McDonald's? Because they choke on the Nuggets."
