This WILD day in NBA history

I feel like this is an underrated "where were you when THIS happened" moment in history... where almost every one of your peers remembers it vividly.

I was in sky harbor airport, we had just landed from DC, I was 12, and instead of rapidly leaving the airport... as we would on arrival, we sat there in an airport bar and watched this insanity slack jawed.

I cannot believe it's been 32 years. Holy smokes.

lol, the crowd chanting "houston sucks! houston sucks!" as a completely dumb founded Marv Albert tries to gather his thoughts after listening to Tom Brokaw report on OJ Simpson being trailed by the entire LA PD.

32 years ago???!!! Wow. I was with some friends watching the game when it happened. Insane moment in history.

I was working at the JCPenney Outlet Store in Tempe when this happened. I worked in electronics, so we had all the tvs on, and of course, this was on every station.

I was at home watching the Finals. I was 12

I was at Los Arcos Mall in Scottsdale. My girlfriend (now my wife) was working at Pets Landing in the mall. I showed up after my job to catch a meal with her and wait for her shift to end.

Crazy how the whole thing immediately took over everyone's attention. Too bad O.J. died before he could catch the "real killers."
