History remembers winners, and if the Bucks do win this series, that block will be seen as a turning point. James, Adebayo and Prince all have one thing in common: All of their teams went on to win their series. An example of the aftermath wiping away an exceptional playoff block is that same Pistons team that Prince was on in 2004. The Nets ultimately won the game, but the Pistons won the series and eventually, a championship — pushing Jefferson’s block out of sight. It wasn’t just the block on Ayton during the fourth quarter on Wednesday night, for example.
