edit: not gonna bite on the gloriousness of 2 top 5 players in the league working together?

My first vivid memories of him are of the losing playoff series in 88 to the bad boy Pistons, the first of 3 losing series to that team in a row. I was 11 and completely consumed by basketball in every way.

Cemented both my love for Jordan and hatred of the Pistons at the time

Edit: No

Okay?

Jordan's second and third games of his career came against the Bucks. In the third, he went head-to-head with Sid, who was the game's premier defensive player, and he lit him up. Torched him. Dropped nearly 40 points on him. That was unheard of. Nobody did that to Sid. It was the first time I ever saw Sid helpless defensively. He had no answer for anything Jordan did. I liked Jordan at NC and on the 84 Olympic team but I remember watching what he did to Sid in that game and thinking this guy might be better than anyone thought.

Ryan Anderson wins MIP

Bucks have a fighting chance to resign Ersan with this news & Kirilenko to Nets.

Probably saves us $10M

TMZ obtained footage ... showing 7'1" Kyrylo Fesenko confronting a group of people outside of Club 23 around 2:45 AM. Sources at the scene tell us ... the whole thing began when one of the clubgoers angrily accused Kyrylo of "bumping into him" ... and then unleashed a flurry of verbal attacks at the NBA star.

That's when Kyrylo's teammate Danny Granger charged towards the clubgoers ... only to be restrained by some of his friends. Multiple bike cops peddled to the scene and diffused the situation ... with Granger and Kyrylo calmly walking away without further incident.

I don't know whats funnier, Fesenko being referred to as an NBA star or Multiple bike cops peddled to the scene and diffused the situation :lol:

I never knew much about him other than stats until I watched him one game against the Bucks (which we won :lol:

) and he was scoring from everywhere on each possession. And it was so effortless. And I remarked at the time I really never really had any idea how good he was until I actually watched him.

But yeah, it was mostly jumpers. How do you match up on a 7-footer with a wonderful jump shot? Beauty in simplicity, I think. I also feel he'll be in the league for a while yet if he wants to, as I can't imagine his jumper will just disappear.

The Bulls have been so unlucky with injuries the last two years.

Hammond is lining up a 50 million dollar contract for Hawes after this game.

Philly has a top 5 defense. We aren't the same team as them.

I have no sympathy. Bucks have been hit harder the last decade.
