Kevin McHale

A seven-time All-Star also named three times to the NBA All-Defensive First Team, Kevin McHale was renowned for his legendary chops on both sides of the ball. Hobbled by both a sprained ankle and broken foot – and wearing the walking boot to show for it – McHale’s toughness was on full display during Game 7 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals. Despite his limitations, McHale lays it all on the line sprinting to the corner to chase down an offensive rebound and save it from going out of bounds, then getting himself back into position, calling for the rock and driving hard to the baseline for a rim-rattling slam. The 1987 All-NBA First Team selection and future Hall of Famer – enjoying the most dominant individual season of his career – managed to post 26 points and 15 rebounds in the 119-113 closeout win over the Milwaukee Bucks on May 17, 1987.
