(Boulder-CO) Today's date is January 18th, and on this day:
-72' The Lakers’ “Mr. Clutch,” Jerry West, sank a last-second, 20-foot jumper to lead the West team to a 112-110 All-Star victory over the East, as he garnered MVP honors.
'83- Dick Motta becomes the fifth NBA coach to log 600 wins as Dallas knocked off Golden State 112-102 in Oakland.
'98- Former Boston Celtics center Robert Parish is honored by having his No. 00 raised to the FleetCenter rafters at halftime of a game vs. Indiana. The game marked the return of Larry Bird to Boston as head coach of the Indiana Pacers.
'02- Alex Hannum, the first coach to win championships in both the ABA and NBA, and one of only two coaches to win NBA titles with different teams, died at his home in San Diego. He was 78.
Enjoy your day!
