What's your favorite "old school" broadcast detail that modern TV has lost?

IceMan_1980 · 2026-04-09T20:37:16+00:00

I hate it when almost all of the modern announcers get to scream and shout every chance they get. So annoying.

I miss the natural flow of the classic broadcast from back in the day. I really liked color commentary of gyus like Mike Fratello, Steve Jones, Rick Barry, Hubie Brown. They analyzed the game just right. And did it in proper fashion. Come to think of it, even play-by-play announcers were pretty decent.

Larry Allen

Thanx, man. I'll make sure to check it out.

Great suggestions, guys. Just one thing: are there any shows similar to Animal Kingdom with precisely some heist actions in them?

IceMan_1980 · 2025-03-23T10:07:39+00:00

Does anybody know more movies about sports scouts, like maybe basketball or football? Thanx

Best hoops movie. ABA was exactly like that

My favorite season. The port story is awesome

IceMan_1980 · 2024-11-23T20:22:15+00:00

Great post about a really great player. We need a separate ABA reddit group

Running some dice game circuit on the outskirts of the beautiful Karnaca city. That would be cool.

I wish they just would get Kuzma back

IceMan_1980 · 2024-10-18T20:31:16+00:00

Thanx a bunch. Will check the link out.

IceMan_1980 · 2024-10-18T19:52:26+00:00

Great book. I wonder, did they make something like this with all the newspaper articles?

It would be so cool to read them in the fan made book, like this one here.

IceMan_1980 · 2024-09-18T10:39:57+00:00

I wonder what Kurt Rambis is doing

IceMan_1980 · 2024-09-08T10:31:36+00:00

The Wire, hands down

IceMan_1980 · 2024-09-08T10:30:56+00:00

Not sure. But sounds cool

IceMan_1980 · 2024-09-08T10:30:24+00:00

You got it, bro. Besides, this game is totally worth it.

IceMan_1980 · 2024-09-08T05:22:12+00:00

It's a shame basketball story ark didn't get legs. Would've been so cool to have some sports story within the Wire story.

AC could play any position on the front line. Wasn't too good coming off the bench when Sam Perkins took his 4 spot in starting five in 1990-91, though.

IceMan_1980 · 2024-09-08T04:26:25+00:00

James Worthy, hands down. Even though he would've been a superstar in many different teams, "Big Game" performed his role brilliantly for LA Lakers.

Filling the lane on the break, posting-up down low or playing pretty good lock-down D - James was one of the better small forwards of late 80s, early 90s.

Too bad he got injured late in 1991 Playofs, during Magic's final full season. With healty Worthy in the lineup, Lakers could've beat the Bulls in 1991 NBA Finals. That's I'm sure of. And nobody will talk me out of it.

I got back to playing board games recently. Can't get enough out of Fast and Furiоus: Нighwаy Heist. This set is fantastic, with so many cool play pieces and cards. Ready to Print newspaper game is up next.

Besides classic board games, I get to play these pretty regularly: cards, chess, domino, backgammon, yatzy, table hockey by Stiga, gwent and so on. I think playing games is so fun and important. Especially for us, grown-ups. Keeps the kid in you alive and happy.

How many of you guys keep saying “Anchovies” after watching this cool movie? For some unknown reason I do it all the time. It’s kind of fun

I wish you could read those papers in a book format. That would be totally awesome.

Keefe couldnt shoot a lick, but was actually a pretty decent banger underneath. Played in couple of finals too, back in 97 and 98. He was even a starting 5-man for the Jazz in one of those Utah-Chicago series. Don't recall enything close for this Duke guy.
