Dennis takes us through an amazing game that not only made history, but has truly stood the test of time.

He gives us behind the scenes stories about what he and his teammates were doing as the clock ticked down and Skiles needed one more assist to break the record. We also discuss if he thinks the record will ever be broken, and Scott Skiles unique place in NBA history.
