watching old games saddens me. the current state of the NBA looks pretty grotesque compared to Showtime and the Celts

Bird, even during his prime, always reminded me of that middle-aged dude at the pick up game who would utterly destroy you out of nowhere without breaking a sweat.

Bill Laimbeer was a great ballplayer but nobody remembers how good he was because he was such a dirty player and overall asshole.

Looking at his prime he is a borderline hall of famer, yet he will never get a consideration for it.

Larry Legend!

Also, looked up some quotes and found this: "What's better? Dogs or broomsticks? I mean will the world really ever know?"
