64 years of life ended today (04/01) o Cliff Livingstonea veteran forward with two championships in the NBA as his teammate Michael Jordanwho even wore his jersey PAOK in the 1992-93 season and helped him reach the Final Four of the Euroleague.
On the occasion of his birthday, it is worth remembering an incredible story in which he starred, being one of the fewif not the only one player who managed to expelled in game and back to it!
This happened in 1986, in a match between the Hawks, in which Levingston was playing at the time, against the Jazz. Her team Atlantain which he also competed at the time Dominic Wilkinshad lost many key players to injuries, leaving them decimated.
Somehow, when the former PAOK player left the match with 6 fouls, the Hawks were found to have only 4 players availablesince all the others were either injured or expelled! For this reason, an NBA rule was put into effect that allows a team to put him back on the floor last player who is expelled, if for some reason he cannot complete five, at the cost of a technical penalty.
For the record, the Jazz they finally managed to win by a score 109-105 in overtime, and Levingston’s return went… strafe.
