Anyone else have Sling Orange? It comes with ESPN but I haven't been able to find the recording to watch. Fell asleep before 9 last night...

Pop is one of the greatest coaches ever & in a finals, his strategy was to allow prime Bron to take jumpers & it actually worked up until game 7, speaks volumes.

Imagine how many fake MJ autographs there are out there, now that you think about what he had Common do for that ball boy

To be fair, he was an en Vogue punching bag back then too. I definitely remember my dad always calling him Crumbs back then too.

It's interesting that people didn't know about Scottie Pippen's crappy contract. I thought it had been pretty well publicized. Phil Jackson wrote about it in his book 11 Rings

Poor Scottie. Dude has it rough. With what happened with his sibling and father to the bulls fleecing him and then marrying this succubus. Scottie should have smashed and dashed the fool. Instead, he went and had an entire family with her. Now she out here further tarnishing his legacy.

The "knowledge" that most of these people who run their mouth all over the internet comes from First take, SportsCenter, etc.

This doc should definitely dispel the notion that some sort of incredible defense was played in the 80s and 90s compared to today.

Covid-19 has cruelly exposed America's inequalities. Now we need to come together | NBA | The Guardian
As an NBA player, I am proud the league has put the safety of players and fans first. During the downtime we can work on making a more just society

People see what they want.
How has this document supported your narrative that 80s/90s defense is overrated?

No doubles at the best guys. Slow footed bigs galore. The defensive schemes were just basic. They’re so much more advanced today

Mike iso-ing on one side of the floor while the other defender's are hugging the other Bulls. Reflective of the rules at the time.

Combo of rules in place at the time and talent disparity.
A common thing you hear people say (even some of my friends), is that they don't love the NBA because they don't play defense like they did back then. It just isn't true.
