^I hope thats true lol.. Would be funny!

The Magic V Jordan read was good.. I would LOVE to see footage of that game lol.. There is no doubt the respect they have for each other now. Jordan did get those 5 rings + 1 lol

^:thumb:
in Playing For Keeps talking about it
near the end Coach K was clapping to Magics side that there was still time left, come on guys" some shit lke that

Michael slamed the ball and said Fuck that! Its Over

 

[EDouble]

Anyone remember another time when Shaq threw a punch that just missed a player? Everyone went to stop Shaq from tearing the guy apart. If that had landed, it would have been something.

This is old but, a nice read When Magic and Jordan locked horns at the 92 Olympics.

I think it was Brad Miller

that Lakers link 6 out of 9 players mentioned at the top played for Lakers i guess you give a L.a site that

 

[ARon]

I can't help but wonder if Bron, Wade or Bosh had ever read that story or even heard of it before they decided to all join up with the Heat. I feel as if their decision would have been much different if my assumption that they have not is correct...

Kobe is the last of a dying breed

 

[EDouble]

it was near end of careers
but what about the glove & Karl going 2 the Lakers

i think i heard a cmparison once in last few weeks on radio or TV

 

[ARon]

Gary and Karl going to the Lakers are nowhere near the same. Those two tried to hop on the wagon and hitch a ride to a ring, they didn't have any real impact on anything. Plus I don't think anyone would defend either of them for doing that, it's some weak shit.

 

[EDouble]

they were starters
& l.a made the finals

I dont like the Miami move either Wade the same if not more blame for signin off on it as on Lebron/Bosh

Wade has a championship

 

[exrp765]

Heat's first game is against he celtics....

 

[EDouble]

Shaq & Kobe had 3 in the last 4 years

 

[exrp765]

....and that story doesn't seem right to me... something about it, the direct quotes, doesnt seem legit

 

[EDouble]

the Dream Team story?

cause the writer fucked up some facts in it re writng in his own words
& aparently thi version is in the Boston reporters book on Bird & Magic

story is all like 3rd perso or something some remember shit differetly

I mainly remember the story because of Halberstams book & in it the score was disputed

the games were closed door

 

[EDouble]

Heat's first game is against he celtics....

> than Cleveland/Miami

unless its In Cleveland
then itd be malice at the palace & 10 cent beer night rolled into 1

I know what happened that year but regardless I don't think it's the same at all. I still can't believe all the pieces turned out the way they did for Miami to win the championship that year

 

[EDouble]

I dont think its the same either just similar

 

[Kobe]

I'm looking forward to next seasons schedule being released later today Report: LeBron James, Miami Heat to visit Cleveland Cavaliers on Dec. 2 - ESPN My guess is Lebron's elbow injury would show up around that time.

The Malone & Payton move to Lakers, and that particular season had too much behind the scenes drama for it to work. There is a lot to read on that season culminating with the way the Pistons run over the Lakers in the NBA Finals. I wouldn't rank it in the same level as the Lebron move, though it was major.

Remember these?

While it’s fair to say that everyone wanted the shoes the second Kobe Bryant took to the “big stage” for Game 1 of this year’s NBA Finals, after over a month of waiting, we finally have release details for the much anticipated Zoom Kobe Vs. According to NikeBasketball.com, both colorways will release this Friday, August 6th, in extremely limited quantities, rumored to be as little as 500 pairs per style.

Damn shame coz I was looking to pick those up. The mad rush for limited releases can get ugly, the last time this shoe (Air Jordan 11, from the movie 'Space Jam') was released..........

this happened.

Talk about a thief's courtesy. They took all the available Air Jordan shoes but didn't touch any other shoe that was available in the store.

 

[ArtsyGirl]

^LOL.. they need like Bank style armed guards for SHOES! haha... They are nice but I imagine with the limited release and the fact its Nike means a bazillion dollars each.

 

[yak pac fatal]

those jordans look dope but j's always cost a shitload of money and it would be a shame to fuck up.

 

[ArtsyGirl]

hahhahahaha

 

[yak pac fatal]

^lmao!!! "im gonna shoot!"

shaq signing with celtics

 

[ARon]

I remember when the SpaceJam J's released lol, a couple foot lockers got hit up. Man fuck a limited release. God damnit
