In the last couple of weeks I've posted stuff on our FB page about Michael Cooper, Muggsy Bogues, & Marvin Gaye's National Anthem at the 1983 All-Star Game.
So what are some of the stories/players that YOU would want passed down to the next generation? Remember, these kids were born between 1996-99, so if it ain't about Michael Jordan, there's a pretty good chance that they don't know much about it if it ain't happening today, so you don't have to even go that far back.
I always enjoyed seeing the big men back in the day compete against each other. old school shaq, ewing, olajuwon, sabonis, david robinson, and mourning. it was always so physical.
Lol Sabonis... Not disagreeing with you but haven't heard that dudes name in a while.

Reggie Miller vs Knicks
Bird vs Wilkins
That's funny, I JUST posted Reggie Miller vs. Spike Lee on our FB page right now.
Those 8 pts in under seconds 10 seconds made me a NBA fan as a kid. I can still remember watchin' it. For me, as a kid...that was the most amazing thing any player had ever done as I was growing up. Everyone loved MJ...and all his great dunks and shots...and I loved that the most. From that moment, I rooted every single year for Reggie.

I hated MJ because I felt his wrath... Still do to this day. Dick pushed off and everyone knows it. Even looking for this video pisses me off.

Rudy T getting his skull smashed in by Kermit Washington and almost dying. A good lesson there. Rudy T wasn't even looking to fight, but he was just in the wrong place at the wrong time.

My girlfriend actually met Kermit Washington at an Office Depot a couple of weeks ago, lol. She didn't know who he was, but told me was this big, black guy named Kermit that used to play for the Lakers.
A source close to the Celtics tells Chris Sheridan of SheridanHoops.com that Rondo dropped an F-bomb on Rivers in the locker room during a team meeting, and Rivers went after Rondo and tried to fight him before the fracas was broken up.
