Without looking it up,

Name the one time in NBA history where the #2 seeds and #5 seeds from both conferences met in the conference finals in the same year.

(Believe it or not it has actually happened before...lol)

Pretty sure the Knicks that beat the bulls after MJ went to baseball were the 2, and I know the Rockets were. No idea about the 5s, but that's my guess, 1994.

It was probably one of the years an 8 beat the 1 seed.

I am guessing either the year of the "we believe" Warriors or the Nuggets pulling 1st round upsets.

Think the Nuggets were '94, but who was the 1 in the East that year?

Yeah I can't come up with who. Chicago was 3, I think. Maybe the pacers, but if it was them then I'm wrong cause the Pacers Knicks played in the ECF I believe.

It was in 1994

ECF: #2 seed Knicks vs #5 seed Pacers

WCF: #2 Seed Rockets vs. #5 Seed Utah

It was Atlanta...The Dominique/Danny Manning trade midseason altered their chemistry and momentum and they lost to the Pacers in the second round.

Yep...ECF went seven games, WCF went five.
