The SiriusXM NBA Radio channel will re-air two classic NBA Finals games tonight that celebrate standout performances from three of the stars of the 2020 Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame class – Kobe Bryant, Tim Duncan and Kevin Garnett.
Tonight, April 8, at 7:00 pm ET/4:00 pm PT, listeners will hear a rebroadcast of Game 1 of the 1999 NBA Finals in which Duncan, making his first career appearance in a Finals game, racked up 33 points and 16 rebounds to lead the Spurs to victory against the Knicks.
Then at 10:00 pm ET/7:00 pm PT, SiriusXM will re-air Game 1 of the 2008 NBA Finals, featuring Kevin Garnett and the Celtics facing off against and Kobe Bryant and the Lakers. This was Boston’s first Finals appearance since losing a six-game series to the Lakers in 1987. Bryant would score 24 points to lead L.A., but Garnett’s 24-point/13-rebound performance helped lift the Celtics to a Game 1 win.
Kobe Bryant, an 18-time NBA All-Star and five-time NBA champion, Tim Duncan, a 15-time NBA All-Star and three-time NBA Finals MVP, and Kevin Garnett, a 15-time NBA All-Star and nine-time NBA All-Defensive First Team selection, were among the nine honorees in the Class of 2020 announced last week by the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame.
