1987 NBA Playoffs...in Kenya
Thursday, December 6, 2012

by FLCeltsFan 8:15 PM

I came across this video of Daniel Freiman’s re-enactment video featuring Bird’s steal from Isiah Thomas and Dennis Johnson’s basket that clinched Game 5 of the Eastern Conference finals in 1987 against the Detroit Pistons. The video was made to help raise money to buy a playing field near the Grace Care Orphanage in West Nairobi, where about 200 children live, including those featured in the video. You can read the full story on ESPN.

This video offers a detailed re-enactment of Bird’s steal and the in-bounds pass that led up to it, in addition to crowd shots, player introductions and even a passing tribute to Bill Simmons with one of the orphans holding up a sign reading “Future Sports Guy” standing next to where the old player tunnel would have been at the old Boston Garden. It's one of the greatest plays in basketball history.

Yep. That season was magical. Bird and Mountain Man... two of the best ever. It was poetry in motion.

Oh man! The league should put a DVD set out with every game from that season on it.
