30 Years Ago Today

On May 31, 1984, Gerald Henderson accomplished really one of the greatest plays in Celtics' history.  In my opinion it was also their most important steal.  I know Havlicek's steal and Bird's steal were truly great as well, however only Gerald's was in the Finals.  It prevented the Celtics from going in a massive 0-2 hole on their way out to LA for Game 3 of the '84 Finals.  Check it out:



All I can say is thanks a lot Gerald!  Your heroics are not forgotten.

PS: Thanks to you too James Worthy for the telegraphed, cross-court lob!
