I haven't been on here much since the NBA Finals ended. Just getting into these. Even though my articles were pretty rough from a grammatical and hard to edit (sorry, Chris!!), I always look back on that time and am happy I was given a chance and a platform to write about the NBA for RealGM. Looking forward to reading all of these from everyone!!

25 years of spam redirects ...haha, jk

I didn't join RealGM until 2007, but I remember there being ads for RGM on NBA TV circa 2001, when they had Rick Kamla. Man, those were the good old days.

Well believe it or not, realgm used to have a chatroom for the nba draft… but in typical realgm fashion, people would post porn in the chat.

Anyone remember the all day podcast that realgm used to do leading up to the draft.

I remember tsherkin in all his pseudo intellect giving the most profound analysis of the Portland Trailblazers... was that" their biggest problem is that they just suck" before the Oden draft.

We didn’t even have the current ‘And-1’ system in place until many years in!

Been here since 2010. It really is the best basketball site for discussion and insight into various topics.

If you see one of the headlines, Jazz remain in Utah but back then the owner was thinking of moving the Jazz back to New Orleans after the Stockton Malone era. This was when the Hornets were playing there.

I'm glad I wasn't around at the start. 13-year old me would probably have been banned within 24 hours.

Thanks to everyone who makes this forum a great place.

My 13-year-old self would have made sure that mods were installed much faster.

I started following RealGM around the 2007 draft but didn’t become a member until 2018/2019, just lurked like a cave troll.
