Take a trip down memory lane as we share a crazy moment at the podium, an amazing posterization, an absolute on-court fail or a memorable shooting performance from the postseason of the National Basketball Association in This Day in NBA Playoffs History.

Quick question: Does the name Alton Lister ring a bell? If the first thing that comes to mind is, "isn't Lister that guy who got posterized and absolutely disrespected by Shawn Kemp," then you're not alone. During Game 4 of the 1992 Western Conference Quarterfinals between the Seattle SuperSonics and the Golden State Warriors, Kemp drove towards the rim with only one objective: throwing it down! Then, poor Lister swooped in to try and draw a charge on the play, but instead, ended up making a life-altering decision that he probably still regrets till this day.
