The Sixers raced through the regular season, finishing with a league-best 65-17 record. Heading into the Finals, Malone was asked for his prediction and responded with the classic "Fo', fo' fo'." Philadelphia came close to living up to Malone's prediction of an unblemished playoff record, sweeping New York, beating Milwaukee 4-1 and then sweeping a Los Angeles Lakers team weakened by injuries to Norm Nixon and Bob McAdoo in the NBA Finals. Philadelphia's 12-1 playoff record is the best in NBA history, and an amended version of Malone's prediction was engraved on the players' championship rings: "Fo', five, fo'."

I would say one of the best. And, you are right - they played hard every night back then. When we were in gym class back then, we always played like it was Game 7 of The Finals. Also, do you realize that basketball is the only major sport without a 'name' for the championship event? You have the Super Bowl, World Series, Stanley Cup and then The Finals. I bet very few would realize that refers to basketball's title event. Can I get an "Amen"?

Malone vs. Lambier, Dr. J vs. MJ and Jones vs. Pippen - all at their primes - would have been fun to watch!

He was with Houston then and got to The Finals and lost to Bird and the Celtics. He came to Philly at the start of the 82-83 season - $2.95 M. salary. The local TV announcer boldly proclaimed(correctly)when news came that they signed Malone - "The Sixers just bought themselves a championship." Just think how they would have done had he been there all along instead of Dawkins.

No one gives a shit about what you think, douchebag.

Most probably so, unless The Lakers dump that Pussy Lamar Odom, and get themselves another Power Forward with Balls. And then, get themselves another Center, who can try to season Andrew Bynum until he is ready to "Duke it out" with the Big Boys.And if the Lakers do not follow suit to My Suggestions, yes, they will be probably be "Owned" by any Eastern Team they will happen to meet in the NBA Finals. And that's the fact, Jack!

The Boston Celtice won all seven meetings against the Lakers in the 50's and 60's until Magic's Lakers defeated Bird's Celtics two out of three times. So, eight out of ten NBA Championships were won by Boston, with two going to the Lakers.

If you say so.

And the Celtics will always OWN the Lakers!
