May 16 marks the Los Angeles Lakers win in Game 5 against the Philadelphia 76ers during the 1980 NBA Finals. The win was bittersweet because Kareem Abdul-Jabbar (the league’s Most Valuable Player in 1979-80) suffered a debilitating sprained ankle in this pivotal game. He didn’t even make it to Game 6.
