I remember going to the games as a kid, standing next to a height chart of mugsy bouges and Alonzo morning. I was an inch taller than mugsy in 5th grade for some reason that made me beam with excitement before that game.

Also I won pair of tickets that same night when they had those blimps that would fly over dripping tickets at half time.

So many good times going to those games as a kid. Now I want to dig out photos of me next to those player height charts.

Just one for the memories from a game.

I trolled the heck out of the Phoenix Sun's MVP year Charles Barkley. It was a TNT game and I was shot bombing the postgame interview with Doug Collins and they had to send a big dude with a black shirt in front of me.

He got up all tired and broken down and I screamed "we let you win old man!" he keeps walking away and Desperate for attention told him he had a nice ass in white shorts.. He turns around slowly and starts to chuckle... And walks slowly to the lockers. Made my night!

In the 25-30+ Hornet games I went to.. I did not see anyone play as hard as Barkley did other than Mugsey. This list includes Karl Malone/who had his career low gm the game i went to, Shaq, Webber, Garnett, Jordan, Pippen(prob bc both CHi games I saw were blow outs by QTR3.

Also Id have to say that The Glen Rice, Vlade Divac, Anthony Mason Trio was some beautiful basketball. They do not get enough credit to how good they were.

Glen Rice had the most effortless three point shot I have ever seen and was always explosive on that backdoor cut where Vlade would lob pass him for a dunk.

      Deebo wants out of SF, and our current odds are high

      By frankw · Posted

      This is from 5 months ago. It was one or the other. Trade for one or draft one. We apparently called the Jets about Wilson. We also talked to the Seahawks about Metcalf. Drafting our own guy was the best course of action given the required investment. Regardless now is the time for Bryce Young to produce. We are fourth amongst all teams in cap spending on the OL. Back to back first round picks at WR and multiple young TE draft picks now. Very solid and respectable backfield. New pieces across the defense. The time is now.

      Get ready for ‘SUPER MEN: The inside story of the 2015 Carolina Panthers’

      That was just the worst time to have their worst game of the season. One key deal was the broncos guess the Panthers would NOT change any plays or flow to the game. Another key point overlook that bronco defense was truly one of the best in the NFL history. It was the best defense the Panthers faced that year, by far. They were not ready for it, but broncos were ready for the Panthers. Mix in that bad luck, poor refs showcase, and this is the golden boys last game........ Panthers needed to win by 20 and the broncos defense was not going to allow that.  Panthers were the faviotes and I believe they also thought that it was going to easier than them destorying NFC playoff teams as they marched to the SB. I've heard darin Gantt say the play calls were to give remmers help, but for some reason the team never did it. During the year they never had that problem, so maybe never practiced giving help via TE/RB, or WR chip. Cam was superman that year, no need for any adjustments...... Until you meet a legendary defense with studs at all levels, Think about it, Peyton was throwing wingless dunks for the whole season, the defense had to carry his corpse to the SB. That's how good they were, no many defense are able to get to the playoffs and win a SB without decent QB play. If you recall the beginning of that denfese took Tim Teblows and his non-throwing arse to the playoffs couple years before. That's insane the level of defense needed to overcome.

      Teddy Checkdown in trouble

      Who cares if he paid for such small benefits out of his own pocket? The NCAA is a joke. They need to be offering such anyway, especially for Uber rides (which actually seems like a good idea).
