I can see the Banchero similarities. Probably have a similar impact on the game even if there’s some slight differences in ball handling and shot selections.

Newsflash: Cooper Flagg just retired after a long, storied career and was named the head coach of the Seattle SuperDuperSonics. Hope you don't feel old now 8-)

You are joking, but it will happen in a flash. To me, PG13 being a rookie still feels so recent, I feel I still haven't finished wondering how him and Danny Granger will fit, but if I go to basketball reference, I now see that PG13 has played in the NBA for 15 seasons...

Bruh, I still remember watching both of Magic's last games, and the 92 ASG, and Barcelona and all that. I remember Kareem's final days.

I remember watching Jordan before the first three-peat. I remember Shaq at LSU. I remember Lil' Penny. Iverson at Georgetown and Ray Ray at UConn. I remember And-1.

The roll of years is looooong, brother, and not getting any shorter. xD

Yeah, I remember 92 Olympics a bit, tho I was young, it was huge for people in my country just restoring independence, but I didn't fully understood what it meant yet. Our 92 Olympic Basketball team is quite the story, they made a doc.

Yeah, I mean, I was also young. But I do recall. So yeah, when we're like "Oh, Shaq's retired." And I'm like "Yeah, that must have been just a couple years ago..." and I look and it's been 13 years... I'm reminded how time flies :lol:

I depresinglly reflecting some times, I told this to my therapists, literally almost nothing changed in my life since I saw Ricky Rubio emerge as super 15 year old, and now, and Rubio already retired... When Rubio was 15, I was literally in the same room, in the same spot next to my computer as I am now writing this comment. It is depressing, but yeah, and the longer you go, the faster years fly, now a year flies by in an instant.

They do speed by, don't they? Fewer milestone markers, though. Just the blur of time passing.

On the trade board, I still mistakenly write Bruce Bowen instead of Bruce Brown.

You think that's bad? I remember KAREEMS 80s exploits, even went to his last game at Oakland where the Warriors gave him a rocking chair as a gift :x

They try to play bully-ball. Thing is, Paolo is a legit 6'10 250lbs dude so he can bully and finish.

I think Coop should add more finesse and outside shooting more.

Technically, the first game I ever watched was game 5 of the 85 Finals... But you've got me beat, no doubt, hehe.

I remember watching the
84 finals and i think even 83 finals and some Warrior games around that time as a kid, so I do by a little.

The 84 finals were incredible.

Damon Stoudamire is still a young player in this league.

I remember thinking Moses Malone was like 100 years old because his name was Moses.

If Utah wins the Flagg lottery I will miss the signature Stern draft moment where he gives you that “eff you what you gonna do about it” grin.
