Celtics assistant Sam Cassell said he was in no condition to check into Game 6 of the 2008 NBA Finals because he couldn’t believe a closeout game was a blowout.

The NBA, the family league that it is, isn't pleased when players pay homage to Cassell's creation. LeBron James was fined $15,000 for doing the dance against the Pacers in 2021.

Sam Cassell: I’m a little biased, 'cause some of them are playing—but we have a special team here. This team that I’m coaching now is way more skilled than our '08 team.

No one on this roster has accomplished the feat, but assistant coach Sam Cassell played point guard for the Rockets when they won back-to-back titles in 1994-95.

Two decades ago, Kevin Garnett, Sam Cassell and Latrell Sprewell were fresh off success. More was expected, but you’ll recall that Spree got to fretting about feeding his family.
