Michelob Ultra on The Bill Simmons Podcast

This episode is brought to you by Michelob Ultra, the official beer partner of the NBA. My favorite NBA finals moment ever. Well, I have two. One was when I was six years old, and I went to the famous triple overtime game in 1976, Boston versus Phoenix that the Celtics won and became, I still think, the most famous NBA game of all time. It's either that or, one of the Jordan games. I like to claim it as the most famous since I was there, but the other one was, game five nineteen eighty four finals, two two Lakers, Celtics. And, it is so hot in the Boston Garden that people are passing out in the stands. Everyone's sweating all over the place. The Lakers are taking oxygen on the bench, and Larry Bird unfazed. I think he had 35 points, 20 rebounds was just awesome, and won the game. Gave them a three two lead. They won in seven, and that is my favorite finals game ever. There's a lot of great moments. I was lucky to be there, by the way. There's a lot of great moments in the court, but the best ones are served cold just like Michelob Ultra right here. A superior light beer that's only 95 calories. Yeah. 95 calories.
