@@mtbplus4479 of course. This is why we tell this young generation that if you had been born in the 80s you would of witnessed his greatness on the basketball court. The only other player to come close to him is Kobe Bryant. I got to see both of them play. And those 2 by far are the greatest I've ever seen play in the NBA. Lebron is a great player no doubt but he will never be as great as MJ or Kobe.

@JamusChristus 5 ай бұрын

It's been 30yrs and I just noticed that Good Times (Cliff Levingston) passed Mike the ball then reversed across the lane. At 1st glance, one might ask why I point that out. I think that did 2 things. 1, it took his defender with him. 2, it put him and his own defender in the way so their center couldn't slide out to help. Now the shot was all Mike. Had he dunked, it would still be on the highlight reel. However, I see that Cliff helped by obstructing at least 2 men from being able to close out. Mike had a teenie bit more takeoff space. That's some fine basketball.
