Origins of the "microwave" tag in basketball

Nice one Matt. I knew Vinnie Johnson was 'the microwave' but never knew it was Ainge who coined the phrase.

Love the Tad Dufelmeier sledge! Gotta find a way to use that in one of my social games!

"It was Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals, and the Pistons trailed the defending champion Boston Celtics two games to one. The Celtics were leading, 87-76, going into the fourth quarter and appeared well on their way to a commanding series lead. Johnson had other ideas. The Pistons scored 26 points in the fourth – and Johnson scored 22 of them, on his way to a then career-high 34 points on 16-of-21 shooting. Following the Pistons' 102-99 victory, Celtics guard Danny Ainge commented on Johnson’s performance by saying, “If that guy in Chicago is the 'Refrigerator’ then Vinnie Johnson is the ‘Microwave.’ He sure heated up in a hurry.”"

anon Re "Tad Dufelmeier from the Cannons had it.
Stood on one spot and went around in circles.
Poor D."

I suppose you scored-on him every-time ?? or was that when he was 48yrs old with plastic knees ?

Saw him burn Graham "goldens hands" Kubank for 50+ points while holding GK to 8 once in a local game, after Kubank talked himself up too much at the AIS.

I'd say your a similar victim - bit late now for you though .-
