Gerald Henderson was forever in the shadow of his superstar teammates on the Boston Celtics' fearsome mid-1980s roster, yet etched his name into team folklore in one of the most iconic plays of any NBA Finals. Trailing 1-0 to the LA Lakers despite home court advantage, the Celtics would have fallen into a seemingly inescapable hole had they lost Game 2, especially with two trips to the Staples Centre looming on the horizon. Henderson delivered hope and momentum with a crucial steal in the final minutes of the game, hitting an easy game-tying layup as a result. The Celtics went on to win the game in overtime, and the series in seven games.
