Before just now I would have bet my life on the fact that the 2015 Trailblazers traded for Arron Afflalo to replace Wes Matthews after he tore his ACL. I 100% swear I remember this being the case.
I was looking at bball ref today and saw the Afflalo trade actually happened a couple of weeks before the Matthews injury. I still can barely believe it.
What are your NBA false memories?
Shortly after Chicago snapped Miami’s 27 game win streak, I was watching highlights of that game on ESPN and I could have sworn they showed a clip of LeBron James and Joakim Noah diving on the floor for a loose ball.
Years later, I found out that Noah didn’t play a single minute in that game because he was injured.
