It's been at least 30 years. Has it happened before?

2004 off hand. Detroit vs LA

Also 2012 due to injury as well.

Also 2011 as well.

Good question. Very rare I'm sure. A 1 seed wins the title over half the time.

2004 Indiana was a 1st seed, maybe Minnesota was too.

2012 the Spurs were I believe

2011 Bulls

So yeah not any of those seasons.

The seeding this year was a little distorted because of the ridiculous "Health and safety protocols." COVID brought out the stupid in people.

That poster is as dumb as they come. Pretty much whatever he says just do the opposite and it's probably right :lol

2011 Bulls were the #1 seed, idiot KL2

1994 might be the only prior instance in the modern era. The first-seeded SuperSonics and Hawks lost in the first and second rounds, respectively.

Would you prefer we get nuked by China or Russia instead? What would you do about that?

China started Covid-19 and Russia has always been a nemesis since WWII. Which do you prefer to face in a battle?

was that the Hawks team that acquired Danny Manning at the trade deadline? Lol I hated that team, they were such a fake number 1 seed.
