This video make me think i have a bad internet connection

This show is what the people crave. Give me this show but add in a couple more hall of famers.

Damn C-Web got heated whenever Greg Anthony talking about anything hahahaha

This is the NBA version of Cheers. Where everybody literally knows your name and they're always glad you came. LOL!

"I think that's an excellent point. Coming up next on my show..." Ernie is a savage.

In terms of Open Court appearances, this is Kenny’s best. He ain’t speaking BS like he usually does but actual facts, and doesn’t interrupt everyone at all time.

I’d go with Reggie over AI. Iverson had a great run in Philly but Reggie carried that franchise for 18 or so years. Iverson was the guy in philly but he wasn’t the guy in Denver or the other places he played. Reggie busted his ass for that team, for him not to have one, really hurts.

Barkley's Sun teams were great too with KJ and the rest.

I feel like C Webb looked for Greg in the hallway after the show and confronted him and Greg was like u gonna acknowledge the Fab 5 controversy?

35:40 they go crazy when C-Webb says "lunch meat" lol

This video makes me want to go restart my router lmao

I love this episode. This is probably one of my favorite episodes on Open Court.

Damn! What’s with the weird pauses and loops!!??

Moments like 34:41 is why we need this show back on air.

EJ is invited to the barbeque with those socks on. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

The Pacers were always the bridesmaids in the 90s-2000s.

There are a lot of underachieving players and teams on the 90's because that was the era of the GOAT.

They left out the 1980's Denver Nuggets with the way they played. Conference finals in 1985 and the highest-scoring team in NBA history in 1982.

Definitely loved watching the Kings play in the 2000s. The matchups against them and my 2000s Mavs were definitely some of the best games I ever watched.

17:50 McHale steals the show AGAIN! Dude is funny as hell!!

"So Derek, when Matt Barnes chased you around the house, how scared was you honestly?"

This was a great segment...people need to realize there were great players before LeBron and Curry, and the current players!!

28:22 when all my remaining brain cells are trying to function

I love open court need more🤣

Most talented teams that I saw never win a championship would be the 95 Orlando Magic and 2016 Okc Thunder.

Many people not mentioning the Knicks smh in my opinion in the 90's if it wasn't for Michael Jordan the Knicks would've had at least 1 ring.

Finally this episode is watchable in its entirety. Thank you a bunch.

"Shoot, better box that guy out huh Kev?"

Things get heated when greg anthony is there

C Webb said the Davis boys were lunch meat.

Thank you Stephen A for uploading this video. Loved the basketball banter. Look forward to more

Great comments on the bucks. No mention of Terry Cummings?

Hakeem Olajuwan is the only Center I've ever seen, who routinely handed Shaq his ass... Seriously, Shaq crushed all the other Centers. He killed the Admiral, Ewing, Mourning etc.. Hakeem literally would abuse Shaq. That's how good he was.

Was it the 04 Pacers? The team that got into the Malice in the Palace..they could have won a chip. Artest, Jermaine O’Neal, Stephen Jackson, Reggie Miller...yupppppp

I have no idea how the universe didn't implode when Rodman joined the military-style Spurs...

EJ is awesome with everyone he works with....low key he is hilarious

Webber still feels it

It got crazy there for several bits, but as soon as McHale starts speaking, everyone gets quite.

39:48 Erny liked it so much that the room responded to his joke, he loves to make others smile. What a guy.

The C-Webb torture episode.

“Beat us when? In a game?” Lol

Moncrief and DeRozan is a HORRIBLE COMPARISON! For starters, Moncrief was in that 6'3 to 6'4 area. While Demar is 6'6. Secondly, Moncrief was the BEST TWO WAY SG in the world before MJ hit the scene. Demar's D was never close to Moncrief's level. Scoring and passing wise, both were on a similar level. BUT Moncrief played on loaded Milwaukee teams where they split the pie up. Sidney was capable of scoring 25 PPG and 6-7 dimes a night. Instead, he was more in that 21 PPG 5 dimes a night level. So for me, Sidney was like a precursor ACTUALLY to a D Wade. In terms of two way ability, athletic ability, and passing ability as a package. Wade added more dominant scoring AND was even more athletic than Sidney. But before Wade, there was NO GUARD 6'4 and under who combined scoring, passing, defense, and athletic ability like Moncrief!

Really interesting actually to see them having different ideas about that time. Watching Last Dance and hearing MJ talk about how the Indiana Pacers was the hardest team to beat for them outside Detroit, Kenny and the Spurs, Greg Anthony about the Blazers, Jazz, Magic, Sonics, etc.

One of the best episodes ever.

Greg Anthony is the Bill Laimbeer of talking hoops. When he gets involved, there's gonna be trouble.

E.J. is an underrated, comedic, *genius*!

Mannn I love Ernie had a legend in his field.

they compared sidney moncrief to demar derozan, and didn't mention sidney's D?

The conversations here really highlight how special and great the 80's teams and players were. The superstars of the 90's were barely getting out of the first round in the 80's as younger players then. Ewing, Barkley, Malone, Stocktan, Olajawon, and even Jordan didn't become serious championship caliber players until the Celtics and Lakers in particular fizzled out. The Bulls were barely finishing third or fourth in the Central back then. I think the Pistons threw a curve ball at everyone at the end of the 80's, and really don't get enough credit for ending both the Lakers and Celtics. It's a crazy contrast to today where a guy entering his third or fourth season is expected to be leading his team and challenging for a championship. Back then, a star in their fourth year was getting KO'd in the first or second round by the Lakers or Celtics.

The 2018 Rockets are on the 2010s best team who didn't win a ring list for sure

Damn, I love how C-Webb got heated lol

2004 Kings and 1996 Sonics in my opinion are the best two teams without a title

I feel like Anthony and C Webb got off screen beef

this show has a special energy…everyone clearly enjoyed the moments when it erupted…

AI is pound for pound the best player to never win a chip. 6 ft 165lbs and could score with the best of em. Miss watching that guy he was truly amazing.

This show is so underrated. I wish it was still on. This show shits on all the Nick Wright, Shannon Sharpe garbage shows.

Man I forgot how much fun it was to hear these guys go back and forth. You'd think they were all in their 70s or 80s in the Barbershop!

I just wish I was 1/100th as cool as Steve Smith or Chris Webber.. man, I love those guys.. so smart, well spoken, funny, witty, fun.. this whole panel is wonderful, what am I saying..

Kenny makes the show hyper with his instigating LOL

the best team always win ... if there are no injuries for key players

This is an old episode, there's a better copy of this episode available on KZfaq. Chucks Suns hands should win the conversation

If arvydas sabonis had a healthy career with the blazers the history of the NBA from the 90s on would have changed entirely

Man, without Jordan, Utah would have had back to back championships and would be remembered as one of the best teams ever. But Jordan stopped that......and we're still Utah, fighting to be relevant.

The men on this panel are smart, funny, and they clearly love each other, which I love.

That was a good one I use to love the defensive teams back then

Love their stories

Derrick Coleman - C, C-Webb - PF, Barkley - SF, Iverson - SG, and Penny - PG. Stockton - PG, Malone - PF, Dominique - SF, Ewing - C, and J.R. Rider off the bench.

Notice that everybody screaming each other, but when McHale start talking there's peace in a second and everybody listening? That's respect.

That's because back then the average good team was either loaded with hall of famers. Lakers and Celtics. Or they had 2 great players and built around good role players .Rockets, 76ers, Pistons, Trail Blazers And then you had teams with good role players and players that were a allstar a couple times. But, wasn't all stars all the time because the legends had the spot on lock. Mavericks with Derek Harper and Rolando Blackman. The Nuggets with Alex English. The bucks with Sidney Moncrief, the Atlanta Hawks with Wilkins. The Spurs, Warriors. and etc. I can go on forever. I forgot the cavs and the suns . The suns won 50 plus games for 5 years before barkley even got there. I could go on forever naming all the good to all time great teams from the 80s. The NBA will never be as stack as the 80s ever again. So many great teams with great players. Half the so called superstars in todays era would be on Cedric Cornbread Maxwell, Derek Harper, and Alex English level at best if they played in the 80s. They would not be the face of the NBA.

Who else loves open court so much they sat through this shitty recording lol 😂

Can you upload the Bragging Rights episode?

C-Webb clearly dont like Greg Anthony

Legit thought my brand new laptop was acting up already. Thank god I read the comments.

Damn he jinxed Kd calling Malone who got injured couldn’t play in the finals well him

45:28 Actually Karl Malone is 2nd in all-time NBA scoring.

They need the Rushmore guys, Magic Johnson, Larry Bird, MJ, Kareem, Kobe, LeBron, Dr. J

Love this show,but it falls short in not reaching back to the wealth of experience and stories the older generation has to offer. As they age out and pass on,you miss out,permanently of some amazing stories. Nate Thurmond (Rip) could have told us what it was like to play against Russell,Wilt,and Kareem,for example.

Lots of weird loops.

This is one of my fav Open Court episode

Before the break, when McHale was talking about a force in short shorts coming over his soldier, I knew that he must have been talking about Dominique.

roy tarpley came to greece after he was suspended in the NBA , for six months he destroyed european basketball . He was that good. And after 6 months he knew he didn t have to play so good to be an elite player and he kept on partying and drinking.

17:08 for the Dominique love.

They missed the 92-93 Suns

GA acts like Kenny without the rings or career to match. CWebb had to put him in his place.

Where is Grant Hill... Someone who played in A.I.'s era.

Correction, the Pacers did have a team that could win in the 2000's. If not for the "malice at the palace" they definitely would've won

That was a great panel. I enjoyed watching it

oh, and 28:30, when it all breaks down is my favorite part of all the PCs! Steve Smith going "woo-woo" as he's riding the SeaDoo. CW says "get control Earnie!" Earnie says, no I like this.. I've watched it 50x and still laugh until I'm horse! bring this show back, puhhhlease!!!

Steve Smith's Hawks would be a top 3 team in League Now wit Mutumbo and Blaylock, Corbain but they was just 4,5 in East back then and always got stop by Bulls

Bernard King is one of the best who never won.

THIS WAS AWESOME!

I would make 2 teams Stockton Iverson Barkley Malone Ewing Nash Miller Wilkins Webber Mutombo

Holy shit,look up the stats from Mark Aguirre on basketball-reference. Dude was a force.

Kenny loves pushin buttons i swear man

Steve Smith the MVP of this episode when he's riding the See Doo.

why D. FIsh act like if he was on the Lakers team on 06 they would have beat the Suns???

Webber never played in the finals, yes he lost too Lakers in controversial fashion but beating them is still a step away...the Knicks ran into the bulls year after year and then blew it against Huston in game 6 the year Jordan retired...that's the definition of being close.

They forgot about the 05 Pacers before the Malice at the Palace.

I believe that football is harder because every playoff is basically a game 7, but Derek Fisher made a great point.

Kings teams didn't get that difficult until they got Mike Bibby and got rid of White Chocolate.
