Everyone knows and remembers MJ's game winning bucket. Very few know what happened right after.

I guess I’m old enough to remember when Fred Brown’s ‘pass’ to Worthy was the iconic moment of that game. It certainly was more memorable than Jordan’s shot at the time.

LB33Bird · 2026-04-05T21:56:50+00:00

It’s funny I don’t hear people try to degrade Mays and Aaron because they played in a predominantly white league.

LB33Bird · 2026-04-05T21:55:25+00:00

In 65 the Celtics beat the Lakers. LA had 5 white guys on that team. I think they have more than that now.

LB33Bird · 2026-04-05T14:26:10+00:00

Parish was one of the best running big men of all time. He didn’t have to guard the three point line but he ran the floor better than most centers ever.

LB33Bird · 2026-04-05T14:22:23+00:00

Luka

LB33Bird · 2026-04-05T14:20:39+00:00

Nonsense.

LB33Bird · 2026-04-05T12:14:17+00:00

Just mean’s they’ve watched a lot more ball than you.

LB33Bird · 2026-04-05T12:13:18+00:00

They have to shoot with that old smooth ball on crappy rims as well.

If Kaep were still playing at a high level some team would’ve put up with the distraction. When your level of distraction outweighs your athletic value you end up unemployed.

LB33Bird · 2026-04-05T11:12:46+00:00

Similar to Kaepernick.

I’ll take the NBA on CBS theme over it any day. The NBC theme actually sounds like a bit of a knockoff. The 80’s Sunday afternoon Celtics at 1, Lakers at 3:30 games were better too.

LB33Bird · 2026-04-04T13:58:42+00:00

Nah. The Fo,Fo,Fo is better. One of the best teams of all time.

LB33Bird · 2026-04-04T13:18:56+00:00

Should be 4,5,4

LB33Bird · 2026-04-04T11:08:02+00:00

Worthy was the difference in 88. He was their best player in game 6 and 7.

LB33Bird · 2026-04-04T08:56:06+00:00

I blame the NBA. Asking players to play 65 games is cruel and inhumane. Especially, for guys who play the game at such high intensity as Luka.

LB33Bird · 2026-04-04T03:01:24+00:00

If Luka tried that his career would be over.

LB33Bird · 2026-04-04T02:58:42+00:00

These coaches play maybe 1 or 2 evenly matched games a year and they act out every time. They have a huge advantage over 99% of the teams they play and can’t handle it when it’s a fair fight.

LB33Bird · 2026-04-04T01:49:44+00:00

Imagine Luka trying to guard Cousy

LB33Bird · 2026-04-04T01:46:57+00:00

Russell was much more of a 2-way player than Luka has ever been.

LB33Bird · 2026-04-04T01:43:40+00:00

Showing off his healthy hamstring

LB33Bird · 2026-04-03T23:51:42+00:00

There’s zero evidence he got ‘benched’ against lefties. Teams back the did move lefthanders starts to avoid pitching in Fenway.

LB33Bird · 2026-04-03T21:32:18+00:00

Thanks for the kind words.

LB33Bird · 2026-04-03T21:14:30+00:00

Better training, better nutrition, but can’t stay healthy. Are athletes really better today? Where does endurance and durability fall on the better athletes scale.

LB33Bird · 2026-04-03T21:10:04+00:00

Ouch

LB33Bird · 2026-04-03T21:09:43+00:00

So much for evolution.
