A Look Back at the Greatest NBA Playoff Runs in Modern History The NBA playoffs typically rule the sporting world from April to June every year, so there’s no better time to take a look back at some of the greatest championship runs in the league’s modern history. and Kobe Bryant. In 2003, the Lakers were looking for a repeat victory to make them back-to-back NBA champions. Having gone 15-1 in the playoffs, the Lakers only lost once in the finals.
This is even more impressive when you consider that the teams they faced housed six future Hall of Fame players and none had any major injuries. The Lakers would go on to win their second championship in a row and win once again the following year to join the Boston Celtics and the Chicago Bulls as three-peat titleholders. The 2017 Golden State Warriors Much like their LA counterparts did in 2003, the Golden State Warriors were undefeated heading into the NBA Finals. Thanks to the addition of superstar Kevin Durant, the team’s regular-season record of 67-15 propelled them into a hot streak in the championships. What’s even more impressive about this season was the Warriors’ plus-13.5 point differential against championship- caliber teams, and they even managed to handily defeat future Hall of Fame player LeBron James when he played for the Cleveland Cavaliers.
The 1991 Chicago Bulls Many Chicago fans remember where they were when the Bulls won their first title in 1991 — in fact, most basketball fans know about this historic title run. The road to the championship took the Michael Jordan-
led Bulls through Detroit. Back then, the Detroit Pistons were known as the “Bad Boys” in the NBA, and they won back-to- back championships in 1989 and 1990. But the Bulls — backed by head coach Jim Boylen’s philosophy that every player on the team had value — shut down the Pistons on their route to the championship. The Bulls would go on to beat the Los Angeles Lakers, win their first championship, and cement Michael Jordan’s legacy.
The 2003 Los Angeles Lakers The early 2000s were a prime period for basketball, in large part thanks to Los Angeles Lakers legends Shaquille O’Neal
The Top Mistakes People Make When Talk to Their Doctors After They’ve Been Inju
It is essential to follow your doctor’s care plan. If your doctor gives you a prescription, take the full recommended dose and communicate with your doctor if the side effects you are experiencing warrant a change in medication. It’s important to understand the way insurance companies view how you seek treatment. As far as they’re concerned — and oftentimes, as far as the jury is concerned — when you stop seeking treatment but resume treatment at a later date, it indicates that your original injury was healed and that you are now seeking additional treatment for a different injury. For this reason, it is important not to discontinue your care until you are absolutely certain you are healed. If you’ve been injured, understanding what to expect from an injury case can be life-changing.

One of the primary mistakes people make when talking to their doctor after an injury is failing to proactively pursue treatment. If you’re not actively engaged in trying to get better from an injury, you’re damaging your case. For example, if you miss a doctor’s appointment, it is recorded in your medical records as DNS, which means “did not show.” If you’re not doing your part to speed up your recovery, members of the jury will undoubtedly have a hard time sympathizing with you. Furthermore, remember that your doctor is a human being. If you miss appointments or routinely show up late, your doctor will be less sympathetic to your case, and they will also be a worse witness for your case.
