NBA Tonight

[Billo_Really]

Rodman is a nut case. Good rebounder but a big nut case.

If Bird was a black guy, he wouldn't be such a big deal.

 

[Billo_Really]

Can the Warriors do it?

Can they beat the 33-game win streak?

 

[fbj]

Nope, lost to the Raiders in the SB(1980)

Maybe Vermiel won it with the Rams?

yes in 1999

 

[fbj]

Looks like the Boston Celtics may the first team of the season to lose to the 0-15 sixers. its still early but they are down 44-36

Bird was a great forward, he and Magic rescued the NBA.

Philly has a way of snatching defeat from the hands of victory.

They have done that in the last two games, up by 17 on Miami and 10 on Minnesota

I remember watching the '79 Finals on tape delay at 11:30pm.

Everything changed the next season and it hasn't been the same since.

Maybe they should bring back World B. Free?

As a lion fan who watched them go an entire season without winning a game, I feel for ya.

Pistons are 8 and 7. Does 500 make the playoffs? Meanwhile Cleveland will probably make the finals again.

Toney was a pure shooter, also Pistol Pete and Kiki Vandeweghe.

Got to have faith my friend, Philly knows how to lose.

In the Eastern Conference .500 makes the playoffs, in the Western Conference it doesn't.

College-Pro Dudes

Let's look at Mike Dunleavy, Jr. for a minute here.

Here's a guy who really stood TV audiences on their head at the 2001 national championship game between highly-skilled Arizona and hard-working Duke, scoring a ladle of three-pointers to seal-the-deal for Duke's 3rd national title. He was nothing short of amazing for a game that drew a lot of attention (and surprise for fans who expected Arizona's exciting play to win out).

However, in the NBA, Dunleavy (who happens to be the son of retired NBA coach Mike Dunleavy) did not stand out too much and is currently playing for the Bulls.

Did you know Kobe Bryant was recruited by Duke before deciding to skip college to head straight into the NBA?

Why don't we compare college-professional performances more often?

Mike Dunleavy Sr. also played in the NBA. College has a lot of raw talent, a lot of times the talent doesn't translate well into the NBA. Kobe's dad, Joe "Jellybean" Bryant was an average NBA player. He played along side McGinnis and Dr. J at Philadelphia.

Around the Table: Camera Coach

Papageorgio, it's good to hear from someone who knows a good deal about NBA history. We need more rounded talk so we feel more comfortable making polite and profit-creative conversation about American celebrities:

"Mike Dunleavy, Sr. is like the poignant film-maker Woody Allen in one way --- they both look camera-eccentric!"
