| We asked why you fell in love with sports. These are those stories. |
| Today's memory is from USA TODAY Sports NBA reporter Mark Medina: |
| We had sat in front of the television for nearly 2½ hours. With my grandparents graciously accommodating my hopes to watch the entire NBA on NBC playoff tripleheader, my late grandfather finally found a moment that we could take a break from the tube. "This game is over," he said. It looked like it was. It was Game 1 of the 1995 Eastern Conference semifinals and the New York Knicks held a six-point lead over the Indiana Pacers with 18.7 seconds remaining. |
