    On May 23, 2001, the New Jersey Devils achieved a remarkable feat by completing a stunning comeback against the Pittsburgh Penguins in the Eastern Conference Finals of the NHL playoffs. The Devils found themselves trailing the series 3-2 and were facing elimination as they headed into Game 6 in New Jersey.

    The game was a thrilling affair, with both teams trading goals throughout regulation. With the score tied at 3-3, the game went into overtime, and the tension was palpable in the arena. Just 18 seconds into the extra period, Devils defenseman Darius Kasparaitis unleashed a slap shot from the point that found its way past Penguins goaltender Johan Hedberg, sending the Devils bench and the home crowd into a frenzy.

    The Devils had staved off elimination and forced a decisive Game 7 back in Pittsburgh. In that game, New Jersey's rookie center John Madden scored the winning goal in the second period, propelling the Devils to a 4-2 victory and a spot in the Stanley Cup Finals.

    The Devils' remarkable comeback against the heavily favored Penguins showcased their resilience and determination. They went on to face the Colorado Avalanche in the Stanley Cup Finals, ultimately falling in seven games. However, their playoff run and the Game 6 overtime victory on May 23, 2001, remain etched in the memories of Devils fans as one of the most exciting moments in franchise history.

    The 2001 Eastern Conference Finals comeback solidified the Devils' reputation as a team that never quit and could overcome any obstacle. It was a testament to the leadership of players like Scott Stevens, Martin Brodeur, and Patrik Elias, who would go on to lead the Devils to Stanley Cup championships in the following years.

    On May 22, 1963, one of the most iconic moments in sports history occurred during an NBA playoff game between the Boston Celtics and the Los Angeles Lakers. The game, which was held at the old Boston Garden, was in its final seconds with the Celtics leading 115-113.

    The Lakers had possession of the ball and were looking to tie the game. Guard Jerry West took a shot from the corner, but it missed. However, Elgin Baylor, the Lakers' star forward, grabbed the offensive rebound and put up another shot that also missed. With time running out, Celtics center Bill Russell soared high above the rim, grabbed the rebound, and quickly passed the ball to teammate Bob Cousy.

    Cousy, known for his brilliant ball-handling skills, dribbled out the clock as the Celtics secured the victory and advanced to the NBA Finals. This moment, with Russell's incredible rebound and Cousy's clever game management, has become known as the "Cousy Dribble" and is considered one of the greatest plays in NBA playoff history.

    The Celtics went on to win the NBA Finals that year, marking their fifth consecutive championship. Bill Russell, who finished the game with an impressive 30 points and 40 rebounds, was instrumental in the team's success throughout the 1960s, leading them to a total of 11 championships in his 13-year career.

    This iconic moment on May 22, 1963, showcased the brilliance, athleticism, and teamwork that defined the Boston Celtics during their dynasty years and cemented their place in sports history.

    On May 21, 1998, one of the most iconic moments in NBA playoff history occurred during Game 6 of the Eastern Conference Finals between the Chicago Bulls and the Indiana Pacers. With just 2.1 seconds left on the clock and the Bulls trailing 96-94, Michael Jordan received the inbound pass, faked right, and then drove left past defender Derrick McKey. As Jordan elevated for the shot, he was met by multiple Pacers defenders, but managed to hang in the air and double-clutch the ball before releasing a high-arcing, 17-foot jumper over the outstretched arms of 7'4" center Rik Smits.

    The buzzer sounded as the ball was mid-flight, and the United Center in Chicago held its collective breath. The ball seemed to hang in the air for an eternity before finally swishing through the net, giving the Bulls an improbable 96-95 victory and forcing a decisive Game 7 back in Indiana.

    The moment, forever immortalized as "The Shot II" (a nod to Jordan's series-winning jumper against the Cleveland Cavaliers in the 1989 playoffs), showcased Jordan's unparalleled ability to deliver in the clutch and further cemented his status as the game's greatest player. The Bulls would go on to win Game 7 in Indiana and advance to the NBA Finals, where they would defeat the Utah Jazz to claim their sixth championship in eight years.

    Jordan's game-winner on May 21, 1998, remains one of the most replayed and celebrated moments in NBA history, a testament to his unrivaled competitiveness and flair for the dramatic. It serves as a reminder of the incredible impact Jordan had on the game of basketball and the indelible mark he left on the sport's history.
