June 4th: On this date...


... in 2006, former UK-JV starter, Nazr Mohammed, started at center for the San Antonio Spurs when they beat Phoenix in five games to advance to the NBA Finals. His lines throughout the Western Conference Finals were: Game 1 (9p-7r-2b) Game 2 (11p-8r-2b) Game 3 (9p-4r) Game 4 (8p-8r) Game 5 (4p-2r). As you can see, it was Nazr's clutch play, not Tim Duncan's, that led the Spurs to the Finals. They went on to beat fellow Wildcat Tayshaun Prince and the Pistons to win the 2006 NBA Championship in one of the lowest rated NBA Finals ever. Ratings be damned, Nazr got a ring. Go Cats.
