Round 4: Tossup 7

To protest this event, Don Nelson conspicuously wore a pair of Nike shoes while accepting an award. Three men angry over this event carried a light blue coffin to a mock funeral in Victory Park. In his first game after this event, (10[1])a player involved shouted to the crowd “I’m (10[1])here!” before injuring his left abductor. (10[1])Theories claiming this event intentionally caused harm connected it to the Adelson-Dumont family buying land in Las Vegas. (-5[1])Shams Charania’s midnight announcement of this event (10[1])assured readers “yes, this is real” before listing names (10[1])like Max Christie. (10[1])Nico Harrison claimed “defense (10[1])wins championships” to justify this event less than a year after a central (10[1])player had led the Mavericks to the NBA Finals. For 10 points, name this event that shockingly sent a Slovenian point guard to the Los Angeles Lakers. ■END■
