1.) Founded in 1946, this NBA franchise has won 17 NBA Championships, the most for any NBA team.

2.) First discovered by astronomer James Christy on June 22, 1978, X is a moon or (as recent findings term it) a dwarf planet or a plutoid. In Greek mythology, X was the ferryman of Hades.
X took the newly dead across the river Styx if they had an obolus to pay for the ride. Corpses in some regions in ancient Greece were buried or burned with 2 silver coins, called an obolus, on their eyes to pay the fare. The pic shows Michelangelo's rendition of X in the Last Judgement.
3.) Directed by Victor Fleming, this movie is perhaps the most famous fantasy based film. The movie is based on a children's novel written by L. Frank Baum. The film, set in what is most likely late nineteenth-century Kansas, follows schoolgirl _________ Gale who lives on a farm with her Aunt Em and Uncle Henry, but dreams of a better place "somewhere over the rainbow." The film was nominated for several Academy Awards upon its release, including Best Picture and Academy Award for Visual Effects. It lost the award in the Best Picture category to Gone with the Wind but won in the category of Best Song (Over The Rainbow) and Academy Award for Best Original Score. The lead actress Judy Garland received a special Academy Juvenile Award that year, for "Best Performances by a Juvenile". The film received much more attention after frequent television screenings and has since become one of the most beloved films of all time. It is often ranked among the top ten best movies of all-time. Name the movie.
