I think what I miss about the NBA isn't the old days per say. The game is faster and more skilled despite everyone spamming 3s. But I feel like the explosiveness of this kind of play style is long gone.

Or maybe Kemp was just a once in a lifetime type of athletic talent. :lol: christ some of these dunks are sickening

Blake Griffin and Zion provide some of what Kemp did except Zion's career seems doomed.

Blake had some filthy dunks when he was in his prime. Zion hasn't had any memorable in game bangers that come to mind. But I think I've seen dude play maybe a total of 4 times since he entered the league.

He plays the game with so much energy and passion. I'm glad he is feeling joy playing hoops again. He deserves this. Warms my bitter heart.

He was absolutely electric. Those Sonics teams were great. Wish they had less of a douchebag coach.

If we want the number 2 seed, this is the time to go get it.


Sorry. Knicks are working their way down to the 8th seed at the moment.

Kemp did dunks IN GAME that were dunk contest worthy.

Also, that announcer "all over that rebound like a cheap suit"

Can you recall the last time an in game dunk left you speechless? It's been awhile for me.

Randle had some absolutely brutal dunk ons. But that was it

George Karl is lucky someone hasn't punched him in his face. That crap he said about Carmelo should have basically had him blacklisted from the sport (which i think has happened?).

Big Sam Perkins!!! A man ahead of his time.

Didn't they also have Kendall Gill?

I love it. I never understood why people kept trying to discredit Brodie. Yeah he's not the triple double machine he was in his youth but in the right environment he was bound to produce in a positive manner

When the game involves high IQ play and movement, there's nothing better. I love it.

Can we get Thibs to incorporate stuff like this? Oh my god
