I believe DK will be in a trade package for a center that Lakers need so desperately as of yesterday. So in next few days DK may be wearing a Utah Jazz uniform.

Last major trade of the magnitude probably is when the Bucks traded Kareem to Lakers in the 70's after having sn MVP season.
I just can't get into this NBA nonsense. 🙄 Doesn't make my life any better at all.
 
Just reminiscing on great basketball. Everyone now just wants to shoot threes and get paid. Back then they used to have to earn their paycheck and they all played as hard as they could. Larry’s last years of NBA were my first few years of living so I never actually got to watch him play. But he is always someone I wished I could have seen play. Short list of athletes I wished I had gotten to see:

Hank Aaron
Babe Ruth
Larry Bird
Muhammad Ali
Jim Thorpe
Bruce Lee
Jim Brown
good list
at first thought, I'd have Koufax on a 10-player list

Dude!!
Larry Bird...
Really?!
Are just trying to make me feel like an ancient artifact?!
 
Yeah I thought about Koufax but I’ve gotten to see Kershaw dominate in this era so that’s a wash for me. If I’m going pitcher, I would probably say Bob Gibson is the one I would have wanted to see.
Can I just be very broad and say MLB from 1950-1984
I was born in 78 but remember sports in 1985 very vividly.
The Sugar Vols and Super Bowl Bears are burnt into my brain.
