NBA finals history - How the Lakers won in 1985

Here's a bit of history that I didn't know: Larry Bird hurt his finger in a bar brawl before the finals.

And an interesting footnote from the SI article about Jerry West being robbed in the Forum's parking lot:

POSTSCRIPT: On an August morning in 1992, West, still the Lakers’ GM, was robbed at gunpoint in the parking lot of the Forum. (Ponder for a moment the cosmic indecency of robbing the Logo in his parking lot.) Two thieves demanded his wallet and told him to remove from his finger the 1985 championship ring, the only one he ever wore. They were never caught.
