I remember….

[Rummyfan]

Last I heard he was coaching in the WNBA. He was An NBA anomaly - a big white guy from an affluent background who worked his way to and excelled in the NBA.

[Its All Over Except ...]

I’m glad others remember; I truly am.

Good times.

God bless!

[Rummyfan]

And fit in with the Bad Boy Pistons….

[Rummyfan]

You too!

[Its All Over Except ...]

Yes. Despite how much he made, he said he was the only one, among those getting the bigger bucks in the NBA, who was making less money than his father was.

[rlmorel]

Hahahahaha that is hilarious!

[rlmorel]

I dislike him for being a tool of the ChiComs.

[Rummyfan]

LOL! There’s a current pro athlete who fits in that category too: Maverick McNealy of the PGA Tour. His father Scott is one of the cofounders of Sun Microsystems!

of course no one is going to confuse the PGA Tour with the NBA but still quite an achievement…. He’s playing in The Master’s next week.

Mr. Softie would try to play defense, flop, and it’d be over.

[Its All Over Except ...]

I’ll check that out.

Interesting.

Um…. Larry Bird Celtics.

Put Bird on those Laker teams or Magic on those Celtic teams and there would have been no point in holding the playoffs. Everyone would know who was going to win.

🤣🤣
Mr. McFLOP!!!

[MinorityRepublican]

LeBron is a good player. Cal Ripken version in the NBA.

But he's not really a winner. Three championships (the one in the bubble didn't count)

[CommerceComet]

Give me a superstar who is the consummate team player over a selfish one-on-one player. no matter how good he is, any day of the week.

[nickcarraway]

Luca Doncic is going to be in LA long after LeBron is gone (at least Laker fans hope so).

He is? I think he only has one year left on his contract.

Why would he resign with the Lakers when they stole $116M from him? And their GM, Rob Pelinka, trashed him, saying he was too big a risk , he might not even be able to play five more years.

[nickcarraway]

Dennis Rodman said he learned how to rebound from Laimbeer. He said he asked Laimbeer, because he could only jump an inch, but was a great rebounder.

[SaxxonWoods]

I remember those precious days with my dad. Good for you.

[Its All Over Except ...]

Rodman, greatest rebounder of all time.

7 straight years most for rebounding.

It was the addition of Horace Grant, an excellent rebounder in his own right, as well as a decent scorer, whom, added to Pippen and Jordan, I think is what finally got the Bulls past the Celtics and Pistons in 91.

[dznutz]

I get a “kick” out of it too. Ba-Dum Tiss.
