I would say Abe Vigoda is at the "Hey, it's Abe Vigoda!" level of fame because he had an important recurring role on a hit that's been in syndication. Being top bill on a relative flop doesn't help as much.<br /><br />You are right that there were a lot of seven game series in the NBA, but they predicted a lot of five game series. Five games shows some serious dominance, and seven games doesn't, so I stick with my "meh" assessment of their abilities.<br />Prof. Hubbardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16575880031145705761noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8247002493176705100.post-81812188827440565032014-05-05T09:54:05.646-07:002014-05-05T09:54:05.646-07:00and he's been in some, oh yes he has.

[Five seven-game series is an outlier, to say the least.] Washington advanced with only a 32% chance of winning; the only surprise is how easily they beat the Bulls. Brooklyn won the 50-50 matchup with, appropriately enough, a last-second shot block in Game 7. The other six favorites had a 74% chance or better to advance.<br /><br />As for Lance Hendrickson, I'm in the "Hey, it's Lance!" camp. Oh That Guys don't get top billing for network TV shows; Hendrickson was the selling point for the ill-executed <i>Millennium</i>.Abu Scooterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12042644295020578484noreply@blogger.com
