Recruiting Football Talk VIII

[jave36]

The Lions were being courteous. If Hooker remained in the game too long then the other team was going to run out of healthy DB's. Hooker was a heat seeking missile in the open field.

Didn't he get a concussion?

Man when those guys played the NBA was must see tv, loved watching pro basketball back then. Dominique Wilkins was another guy that was so good and exciting to watch. That 4th quarter playoff battle with Bird was epic.

Clyde Drexler

 

[Jackcrevol]

Jordan’s height is inflated. He’s just under 6’5”.

does is matter?

Clyde Drexler

Another guy that was great. Liked him too.

 

[SugarCC]

Guys, if Hooker and Milton keep balling out, just think how good our QB recruiting is going to get…

Besides Bird and MJ, those have been my only other thoughts since watching those clips. Recruiting Recruiting Recruiting. Proud of them guys.

Same height as Barkley

He may be now, but I'm pretty sure he was 6'6 right?

Those who don't know sh!t about sh!t always talk nonsense about Bird's defense, WRONG!!! At his peak, Bird had absolutely NO FLAWS to his game, NONE.

Made multiple All Defensive teams. Got Defensive POY votes.

He was a complete player.

As inflated as Fat Barry’s head.

Can it get any better?

Clyde Drexler

Clyde was underrated because he played in that hellhole Portland.

Hendon Hooker leaves preseason debut with a possible concussion

 

[SugarCC]

Me too, I love you tube stories of his smack talking. What he did to the Hawks was unreal, the Doc Rivers telling is hilarious. The man played 3 quarters against the trailblazers left handed just because he could.

Played the ENTIRE GAME with just his left hand. Scored 47 and had a triple-double that night. Said he was saving his right hand for the Lakers.

Same height as Barkley

Barkley was 6'4" not a hair taller. Didn't matter that guy could out rebound anyone.

 

[therickbol]

Didn't he get a concussion?

Yes that it was was reported. Adds a little irony to my post I suppose.

 

[chvy1986]

Stockton and Malone were a heck of a pair. That was always a tough game, even for MJ.

didn't matter how talll goat is either. he did it all

Larry Bird was the best player in basketball throughout the mid 80’s. Over a 5 year period averaged:

27 pts, 10 reb, 7 ast, 2 stl - 3 straight MVP’s

In the rough and tumble NBA of the 1980’s. Then he hurt his back.

Give him another 4 or 5 years of prime (he only had about 5 to 6 years of true prime, peak basketball before the injuries started), and he wins AT LEAST one more championship and another MVP...at least. No one will ever convince me otherwise.

The back to back NBA Finals between Lakers and Celtics in 84 and 85 are best two series I watched.

He was a complete player.

Also, the 2 or 3 other prime years he didn't win MVP, he was second in voting.

 

[knoxvol52]

Crazy how the game has changed though, the clothesline that Rambis received in NBA Finals from Kevin was a common foul in 1984 lol..

Ever.

Yea, his ‘87 & ‘88 seasons were monsters - 29/9/7

 

[drvenner]

I'm sure he does. But he was extra dramatic in how much it was affecting him once he didn't win.

He won the gold in the 100. Great accomplishment, so I give him a pass on this one.

 

[drvenner]

Germany will beat the USA for bronze

And it would have been LeBron's fault, amirite?
