Ridin' on the Mothership. Mostly I'll be flying somewhere in the stratosphere, and at the same time I'll be right here

@Methos70 @iamalmostlegend I’d guess it was also a business move. Putting Eddie on your record back then made you viable to the hard rock audience, just as having Michael sing your chorus (Rockwell, anyone?) got you some of his fans

@SCSportsNow The reporter identified as being from the Sacramento Observer, which as mentioned previously is a Black-owned, Black-centric newspaper. With that context his question makes more sense. Also not every reporter is there to do a game story.

@TheHoopHerald If that’s Montverde it’s not insane — it’s an academy that gets kids from everywhere. If that’s a public school getting kids from around the way, that would be insane

@Chanceg88 @JerryJonesBrnr @SCNext @HoophallClassic No major history in the NCAA era. SC made a Final Four in 1980. Magic’s sister was a freshman on that team, but not the best player. Yes, I’m old.

@EJayArrow Teresa Edwards. Katrina McClain. Tamika Catchings. Clarissa Davis was in the GOAT convo before her knee injury.

Someone mentioned Cynthia Cooper, but I’d argue Coop didn’t truly flourish until after college.

@TrackGazette Belgium’s Nafissatou Thiam would be in there somewhere. Maybe GOLD standard award.

@keemy48844 @JerseyMadeMeRaw @365OTG If I remember right, he just told the DJ to follow him. So every time Bernie said “kick it!,” the DJ dropped the beat.

@phillip_yoo @RADeMita She (Chelsea) is. But she’s coming off an injury.

@MzGrnEyes_LBC @jemelehill Only when they have this format. Otherwise it comes close to mirroring the NBA All -Star Game.

@RonMFlores @MitchBookLive @FullTimeHoops1 @latsondheimer @ebosshoops @GreggRosenberg1 @RcsSports @GottliebShow @HaroldAbend @SDPreps Didn’t Isiah Thomas and Ralph Sampson make the Pan -Am Games team as HS seniors in 1979?

[Bruce Burton @BKBurton17]

@jemelehill It’s frustrating for fans of the game, I agree. But they playin’ themselves. Let ‘em talk.

@MattWallace888 It’s basketball. You go to the hole there’s a chance you’re getting knocked on your ass no matter who you are.

@jemelehill There was also another American pro league— the ABL — which began in the fall of 1996, so not all of the available talent was in one league. Believe there were eight teams in each league to start, but that’s easy to check.

[Bruce Burton @BKBurton17]

@5372f857dbee4b6 @NewsNbg @trendyhoopstars Agree to a point. Last year SC also didn’t do a good job of guarding CC. She torched Raven in ‘23. This year 2 of SC’s 3 primary defenders on CC (including Raven) forced her right. That’s the blueprint.

@jemelehill Street and Smith’s Magazine. Basketball Weekly. Read about it before I saw it. First title game I saw was the 1981 AIAW championship, unbeaten Louisiana Tech over Tennessee, 79-59. Kim Mulkey was a frosh backup for Tech. So was Debra Rodman. Team like SC, went 9 or 10 deep.
