The Over and Back Classic NBA podcast continues looking back at classic NBA playoff Game 7s with a series on every NBA Finals Game 7 in history. For part three, Jason Mann and Rich Kraetsch talk about the Washington Bullets vs. Seattle Supersonics in 1978 and the Los Angeles Lakers vs. Boston Celtics in 2010.

Topics discussed include Dennis Johnson’s 0-for-14 shooting performance, the origins of “the opera ain’t over till the fat lady sings,” the odd paths for both the Sonics and Bullets in 1978, Pau Gasol proving he’s not soft, how much Kobe Bryant cared about passing Shaquille O’Neal, the importance of Kendrick Perkins, and much more.

Those subjects and much more are covered in this brand-new episode of the Over and Back Classic NBA Podcast. If you’re a fan of NBA history and want to get ready for today’s upcoming NBA conference finals, this is definitely the podcast for you!
