No real home team to speak of. At various times in my life the 76ers, Cavs, Magic, and Timberwolves have been my favorite teams.


Dr J, KG, Penny and ... Larry Nance ? (would fit well with other players) :wink:


LOL. Ron Harper instead of Nance. From my hometown. When the Cavs traded him to Siberia...err, I mean the Clippers, I vowed my undying emnity to them. I don't hate them anymore, but I hate that my distaste for them has made me miss out on loving the LeBron era.

Doctor MJ wrote:-Re: video. Pretty cool someone mentioned that. I intend to start off threads by linking to relevant data - but if others want to bring videos into this, that's fine by me. ElGee, if you have instructions/proposals for those who want to get into old game videos and aren't familiar with what's out there, go ahead at post them.


A sports scene account, although I think they are full and an invite is needed (and I'm not sure what they have anyway). After that, I used to know a guy who distributed old games online but I'm not sure he does it anymore or if he did how we could make them accessible. Obviously there is youtube, but I assume everyone interested in a project like this has seen or is going to see every "classic" game available. If anyone has other ideas, I'm always interested in trying to access old games.

I'd be willing to contact New Jersey and see what they say as well...

I'm in.

My favorite team is the Lakers. I am also a fan of the Heat, Knicks, and Nets.

I support the whole "hold off on voting for a day or two and let people make their case" idea.
Pay no mind to the battles you've won
It'll take a lot more than rage and muscle
Open your heart and hands, my son
Or you'll never make it over the river

I'm not going to participate as a voter. Is it okay if I comment in the threads?

Okay, you're both in. I'm not going to by a hardass about voting every time, but yeah, if you end up too unreliable you may get booted.

That's fine, only thing I'd ask is for you to refrain from making Top 5 lists to make my job easier in counting the votes up.
