Among his many accolades, in perhaps the most impressive accomplishment, Jerry West is still the only man to earn the NBA’s Finals MVP award for his seven-game losing effort in 1969 vs. the Boston Celtics. For the series, West averaged 37.9 PPG, 4.7 RPG and 7.4 APG, which included a 53-point explosion in Game 1 and a 42-point triple-double in the deciding Game 7.

Dunks of the Night
Russell Westbrook takes the nice backdoor feed from Kendrick Perkins as he beats Cory Joseph along the baseline in Game 4 of the WCF.
Joseph does get a bit of revenge, as he was able to get up and over the top of Serge Ibaka the next quarter.

Phenoms of the Night
Theo Pinson is a 6’6 Senior from North Carolina that Roy Williams wasn’t about to permit to leave the state. He’ll be with the Tar Heels next season.
10th grader Malik Monk is an Arkansas product that has been turning heads with his playmaking and shooting, not to mention his ability to finish above the rim in transition. As always, S/O to the Ballislife.com crew for putting together the mixtapes.

Kobe Bryant was among several NBA players and teams that took the time to pay respect to one of the greatest American poets of all time. Rest In Peace to the poet, author and humanitarian Dr. Maya Angelou.
