TravisBest was a vital back-up on the 1999-2000 Indiana Pacers team that went to the NBA Finals.
During that season Best requested a trade and was granted a trade to the Chicago Bulls.
Travis oddly hits a moving Josh on the wing [beginning of a theme] who returns to Travis for a quick pull-up which he buries.
Best nicely weaves through traffic and eschews the sure 2 points had he handed to Jamison thundering down the paint for, instead, a looping pass to a moving Josh on the wing.
Travis has managed not to notice a Bull standing in front of him and is called for a charging foul on the kick-out.
