It's got to be Mario Chalmers hitting that three to send it into overtime. There's not a doubt in my mind that when he hit that shot, it was destiny.

The last two seconds before they went into overtime. After that, I knew they were going to win.

The emotions. I saw the 1988 championship win and I got to relive all of those emotions again.

Mario's shot. It was really quiet and everyone was just staring at the TV hoping it would go in. Then everyone started screaming and I heard all these fireworks going off.
