Happy 62nd Birthday to Sarunas Marciulionis! As a basketball magazine pointed out in 1996, the Hall of Famer's name is an anagram of "Rain in Muscular Oasis". That fact has been stuck in my head for 30 years, and now you also know this useless trivia!

Steve Kerr squares up for the midrange jumper in NBA 2K11. On this day in 1997, the Chicago Bulls completed The Drive for Five, defeating the Utah Jazz 90-86. Michael Jordan set up Kerr for the go-ahead bucket...and a joke at the championship parade about carrying them all year.

Founded in the BAA, the Knicks, Celtics, and Warriors are considered the NBA's three original teams. The Warriors won the first title. The Celtics have won the most with 18. The Knicks have won most recently. The 1970s and 2020s are the only decades where all three won a title.
