This has become one of my favorite plays. Because CAN YOU IMAGINE IF THIS HAPPENED TODAY?
Look at MJ & Bulls. Just walk back to the bench. Almost no reaction. Even Phil is barely gesturing a "push" to the refs. No hysterics. No cryin. This would never go down in today's game lol
This morning, Shams Charania broke the news that Oklahoma City Thunder's Shai Gilgeous-Alexander won the MVP award.
Here’s how the NBA on Prime crew reacted:
"It's Sunday Shams, go to brunch you nerd.”
The sports world didnt skip a beat when Woj retired. Now it's just Shams being the new pick-me, spoiler alert kid for news you're gonna hear soon anyways
Absolutely nothing about the bball landscape will change now that Woj retired. Except he won’t take credit for reporting news 2 mins earlier than you would have normally heard it
May 8, 1992: Boston's Reggie Lewis drives and dunks against Cleveland in Game 3 of the Eastern Conference Semis.
Lewis had 36 PTS/7 AST and Ed Pinckney had 17 PTS/13 REB in the Celtics' 110-107 win. Mark Price had 27 PTS/10 AST and Brad Daugherty had 22 PTS/11 REB for the Cavs.
After the 2Q buzzer went off for halftime, 3 separate Lakers went to 3 separate refs to complain abt somethin. While Denver walked off to their locker. Reaves was complaining to 1 ref. Smart was complaining to the 2nd. And Luka to the 3rd ref.
Completely insufferable team
2005: Kobe had 62 pts in the first 3 quarters vs the Mavs. Phil Jackson had asst coach Brian Shaw ask Kobe if he wanted to play the 4th and try to hit 70. Kobe replied, "Nah, I'll get it another time" & sat the rest of the game.
A month later he dropped 81. 😤
"Meal Ticket" documentary on the history of the McDonald's All American game is dope. A lot of cool archival footage of older players, including MJ. On Amazon Prime
