I slow-moed it. Start counting when the gather starts (when his hand is clearly in a catching position and not in a dribble) it's 2 more steps. It's an NBA thing

I pretty much know the main guys and rosters of the teams, but I feel like the Clippers are the team I saw the least in the past few years. Like I know their players but don't know their sets/playing style or how they defend. Did watch their 2020 bubble playoff matchup against the Nuggets. I'd say the other team is the Jazz. I know the roster but don't see them enough to understand why THT is their starting point guard. I've maybe watched them twice in the last 2 years.

He is a combination of Dwight and Kitty

No. LBJ came out of highschool at 18 that's one year or 2000 points advantage while he plays till around 40. Their scoring ability is not that far apart on averages

Bastard. He really gave us that false sense of hope after coming back from 0-3 to 2-3. I was certain we had them all figured out. That defense in game 6 with them pounding offensive boards. It was humiliating. And we were a big team too... Rodman was a monster.

I will never be able to explain Michael Jordan and Michael Jackson to anyone who hasn't lived in that era. Just like my parents were never able to explain Beatlemania to me.

Followed by the introduction of a guest and a 5 minute neurotic chaotic monologue followed by a short question for his guest. Kidding aside, it's a great podcast.

Yeah. That was a great one. I was still a small teen, but everything smelled fresh. Kareem was gone, the Celtics seemed vulnerable and the Pistons were coming off a huge championship. I feel like many teams finally felt they had a chance. Also this was the year XMan became my favorite player and I became a Sonics fan. I'm almost sure that was the year the Warriors 'Run TMC' era started too.

2002 Western conference was crazy good on top despite the Sonics being annoying. I think the Lakers, Kings, Spurs and Mavs were all equals and games between them felt like game 7s. The east was pretty but there were a ton of middle teams fighting for spots. I wish the Kings had won that year though. Basketball would have changed for the better earlier.

If you were aiming for Reddit unity your mission was a successful one. I suggest your next post could be something in the lines of 'Is Steph Curry's shooting overrated? Many players shot 42% from 3'

Coach: Victor, you can't leave a shooter with that much space

Victor: Space? Where we're going, we don't need space.

It wasn't as close as the final score indicates
