In 2007, the We Believe Warriors made history. They became just the 3rd 8-seed to ever beat a 1-seed in the NBA playoffs and the first to do so in a 7-game series. Alex and Gabe break down how the Warriors went from 9 games under .500 to an all-time playoff upset in a single month. They also talk about Stephen Jackson’s massive game, Charles Barkley’s sadness over having to watch basketball, and Austin Croshere for some reason.
