Hosted by Sarah Kustok, NBA Flashback is the podcast that takes you back to the best moments in NBA history through exclusive archival audio from the NBA vault, along with new interviews with the players and coaches who were in the building.

In this episode of NBA Flashback, we go back to April 30th, 2009 and relive Game 6 of what might be the best series in NBA history. It's the 2009 Eastern Conference First Round, and the 2-seed, defending champion Celtics, are trying to eliminate the 7-seed Bulls in the United Center. Paul Pierce, Ray Allen and Rajon Rondo throw everything they have at the young Bulls team led by Rookie of the Year, Derrick Rose and Joakim Noah, but Chicago fights through three overtimes to force a Game 7. We talk with then Bulls Head Coach, Vinny Del Negro about the emotions of the series, when he first knew Derrick Rose was special, and where this game ranks among the greatest in his career.

NBA Flashback is available on the iHeart app, Apple podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. NBA Flashback is a production of iHeartMedia and the NBA.
