I miss old nba basketball

Didn't matter who you were, going down the lane would be a punishment. Seeing the bad boys lay mother fuckers out, and hand checking, damn those were the days.

MJ would put up 45 ppg if he played in the league with the rules today.

Yeah, and the Heat wouldnt have gone to the Finals two years in a row. With all the charity whistles for barely touching LeBron and Wade, they'd be lucky to put up 20 ppg.

the whole Isaiah/Magic thing,
it was rumored Isaiah was running his mouth about Magic's HIV and him being gay/bisexual (and that's how he got it)...maybe that's why Magic was opposed as well...

this was a great documentary, I forget how boss Barkley was...that frontline was just amazing...

 

[ram29jackson]

it was already known Isiah was black balled in plenty of books. The Magic Johnson/Larry Bird book for one.

This might be one of the best basketball documentaries ever...this shit was fucking 1h30m of laughs.

Michael Jordan is the most competitive man alive. He goes absolutely full retard. Surely a chromosomal thing. This man would risk three homes in a game of dice if that meant getting the thing poppin. No filter when it comes to competition, that Jordan feller. It is what also made him the greatest basketball player, ever.

Charles was a damn fool. "I ain't know nuffin about no Angola, but Angola in trouble!" Then goes out and proceeds to elbow some skinny Angolan kid that didn't do anything.

After a win during the Americas tourney, Larry Bird just rofls.

The rivalry and competitive nature between Magic and Michael provided lots of laughs...you got Magic as the old guy still trying to prove he's got it, and he's got it, except he's going up against a god damn assassin in Michael Jordan.

Coach K telling Bobby Hurley, Chris Webber and the like that telling them their win against the Dream Team was because Chuck Daly threw the game was like telling a kid Santa didn't exist had me on the floor laughing.

The Jordan/Pippen/Kukoc shit was real deal. Jordan and Pippen were two of the best defenders in the league by 92 and they just anally raped Kukoc the entire game.

The dude from Angola hit chuck with some ticky tack elbows so Chuck showed him whats up lol. That was legendary.

Awesome documentary.

The part with Coach K dashing that first game with the college kids was hilarious and Bobby Hurley kinda wanting to believe it wasn't true.

The scenes of the other teams going gaga over the Dream Team lol. Guys on the bench snapping photos, guys taking time from a free throw to go over and shake hands with the Americans. lol

The footage of that scrimmage with Jordan vs. Magic and Barkley vs. Malone was tremendous

Just like the footage of Jordan and Daly golfing and the fact the coach scheduled bball practice around their golf.

Jordan's own schedule was fucking insane. They would stay up till 5 in the morning playing cards in Chuck's or Magic's room. He'd play golf for hours, then go practice and play a game. How did he maintain all that energy?

And hell yeah larry, the stuff about Jordan and Pippen wrecking Kukoc over the Krauss stuff was roflmao stuff.

Another hilarious scene....at some photo shoot with Larry, Magic and Jordan. Magic leans on Jordan and then quips something to the effect of "uh oh, can't get too close to Michael or they'll call a foul" had me rolling.

Webber and Barkley talked about it on Open Court too. Webber said they whipped that ass and Barkley was talking about Hurley and Webber throwing ally oops and shit. The next day Webber said the Dream Team came to them and said.."OK, cool..but today..you guys aren't scoring." Webber said in (4) 8 minute scrimmages or something like that the college kids didn't score a point.

I was a kid, but I remember watching all of the Dream Team games and just being amazed. What I loved about the players from this generation was that as talented as they were and some even friends they still remained competitive and felt that they had to prove something to each other. I can appreciate that, because the players of today (outside of Kobe, Chris Paul and a few others) just don't have that competitive nature and they don't challege each other in this way. This was the Golden Age of the NBA and the Dream Team was just a once in a lifetime thing for not only the players, but fans as well.

 

[Cornelius]

Pippen can talk about how he had Isiah blackballed, but it was still a Jordan thing as it always was with anything Pippen thought he did. I remember seeing this clip of John Stockton talking about walking around Barcelona with his Dream Team tshirt on and having to point himself out on the shirt to people who didn't know he was in the Olympic games.

 

[EmpireWF]

The people who put together the team also didn't want Isiah on it because of the ECF.

 

[Herm]

I had a basketball court rug on my floor and i had these. Most kids played with action figures while i was reeanacting victories over Cuba and Panama.

they played all their games at Rupp Arena on Herm's floor

I remember asking all of my family to go to McDonalds that Summer and to get me all of these cups as well....

 

[NAHSTE]

LOL I remember the plastic cups too. We only had the Chris Mullin and Larry Bird cups at my house. :smug:

 

[FedEx227]

I definitely had the cups.

I think one of my favorite things too is that dudes had different uniform numbers. Jordan is running around with a 6 or whatever, Barkley 12. I thought that was really cool for some odd reason.

:joeybats:

You're better than this. You don't remember all the hoopla when Vince Carter wore the fabled no. 9 in int'l competitions? "OMGNEXTJORDANOMG" :runaway:

 

[dope]

you guys might have had toys and cups, but did anyone have this bad ass jacket like i did?

i remember being pissed cause i thought it'd be starter jacket quality, instead it was like wearing fucking paper it was so fucking thin.

plus it was like 1000 times more noisy than the noisiest wind breaker jacket

I didn't remember what the exact number was. I wasn't a big jersey guy ever so I never bought one.

 

[Pitty]

LOL @ "Kick them on their ass" as risque trash talk.

 

[MvP]

Anyone else have this complete set of cards?

 

[Realist]

Anyone else have this complete set of cards?

I dont believe I have the whole set, but I know that I have a few of those somewhere. I know I have MJ
