Over & Back Podcast: NBA Finals Game 7s

The Over and Back Classic NBA podcast continues looking back at classic NBA playoff Game 7s with a new series on every NBA Finals Game 7 in history.

For part one, Jason Mann and Rich Kraetsch discuss the Boston Celtics vs. St. Louis Hawks in 1960, Minneapolis Lakers vs. New York Knicks in 1952, and Boston Celtics vs. Milwaukee Bucks in 1974.

Topics discussed include Bob Cousy’s stardom and when Bill Russell became the face of the Boston Celtics dynasty, the fierce Hawks vs. Celtics Finals rivalry in four of five Finals, George Mikan and the Minneapolis Lakers’ dynasty in the early 1950s, the scrappy New York Knicks who fell in the three NBA Finals in a row, the last gasp of the Milwaukee Bucks’ 1970s run with Oscar Robertson and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, and the bulldog 1970s Celtics led by Dave Cowens, John Havlicek and Jo Jo White.

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!
