Watch Kawhi and AD end up w/ the Lakers and LBJ turns into 80's Cap Kareem. I will vomit.
... and everyone loved the Bulls. Even Pistons & Pacers season ticket holders.
I bet Irish#1 still has MJ PJ's with footies.
I loathed the Bulls and those Pacer fans weren't really Pacer fans. Any true fan will stick with your team through thick and thin and not root for the hottest team. Those PJ's were tempting. I just couldn't fit into a boys size 12.
I personally like children, just not my own. I also love mankind but the fucking people I can't stand.
People adore judging individual greatness by team accomplishment. So when a guy doesn't have any "rings" his individual legacy is tarnished. Guy goes to a team as a free agent to give himself a chance to win a championship and that's "soft." Guy goes to shitty team just for the most money, he's greedy. In the end, you have have your head up of both sides of your ass.
Double edged sword winning an NBA title. The confetti starts to fall and all you're talking about is who is going where, the draft is in a week, free agency right after that. Zero time to reflect.
I love the product the NBA puts out, present day. I don't long the past or to see someone get clothes lined driving down the lane. In my dad's day (1970s) they were all boozed and coked up, although I don't hear too many sports fans clamoring for that. Just Rick Mahorn trying to do his best Ronnie Lott impression on a shooting guard.
Big George McGinnis, Dr. J, Moses Malone, The Ice Man, Roger Brown and a number of others I'm forgetting from the 70's would do quite well today.
