Basketball Jones
I remember going to the Boston Garden with Dad to watch a Celtics/76ers game. Somehow we ended up in the tunnels leading to the locker rooms. Dad took Kodak film shots of me with Havlicek and Steve Kuberski, and one with Dr. J and Caldwell Jones. I was always stunned at how tall Jones was. I still have the faded picture.

Closest I came was meeting Jack Sikma. He was a center for a bad Milwaukee Bucks. He was standing in line with me, waiting to wager on a greyhound race. I was a lot younger than now. He owned a kennel. I asked him if he’d be interested in a free throw contest. He said he was pretty sure he’d do better than gambling on the dogs!

Saw Lakers @ San Diego Rockets and felt same way when first laid eyes on Wilt. I kinda stared at him in warm-ups and he kinda stared back. ![]()

@Getty3 MVP, shmemvp, if I had Shrimp1958 staked in a game of horse, Shrimp would’ve won H-O-R-S-E to nothing! Right Bigred!?!?

That’s was a tough game to watch . That game should have sailed over . You ever met Terry Cummings ? Such a muscular bald fellow . He really stood out during that NBA time frame . Or smooth as hell Ricky Pierce ? Guy was an assassin on his best nights . What’s your take on Big Dog Robinson ? He never reached his full potential in my opinion . I had more confidence in that sweet lefty Michael Redd during crunch time . Ya dig ?

The microwave had some motherfuckin’ guns on him with that portly little body causing mass destruction when he would start to feel it . Straight killer . Teams had better depth back then with legit players on the bench that could do damage . With more teams comes more players and I feel that it’s watered down now . Or it used to be watered down . Cuz the more that I look at the NBA product now with teams going ultra young , besides a few stars and superstars here and there , it’s difficult to see a difference sometimes between the starting 5 and the bench . The only difference sometimes is who gets the opportunities and the playing time . It’s all potential .

Detroit at Pelicans over 215.5 again.
NO can score more than Portland.
NFL Steelers -3. Getty tail. Line movement agrees.
Duke -6.5 vs Wake Forest. Duke is still a tough football team.
