    It's Reignman my friend. Collected his trading cards before. Too expensive to collect Jordan for me.

    He's the guy who made Bird spin like a top after posterizing him in his rookie season, right?

    Respect.

    I apologize for the double post, but correction: it was Wilkins who made Bird spin.

    Nonetheless, Kemp was still a pretty scary dunker.

    Carter > Kemp > Wilkins

    A CONDOM? Singular? You'd have the Morris twins share a condom? And simultaneously no less? This is uncalled for! :grin:

    That it's the highlight reel from 20 years or 200 pounds ago. :eek:

    The man was a basketball prowess and a BEAST in his own right... but WAS is past tense. Also, #7 is a TRAVEL violation and #4 is a CARRY violation, and #1 is a TAUNT Technical Foul. :eek:

    Oops, He He, thanks for the correction. Shame on me.

    Yeah man they are the best "in-normal-game" dunkers ever.

    Jordan and Kobe are probably just a rank below in terms of dunks during normal games. Furious, fearless, acrobatic, explosive in your face stuff.

    Even McDyess and Stackhouse had some special ones in their prime.

    I didn't want to start a new thread on this, but Marcus Morris is going to play in Iverson's Vegas tournament on Nov 12-13. Yeah, these exhibition games are pretty boring by now, but at least we'll finally see something from Marcus since it's streaming online.

    If Marcus Morris is training with Shawn Kemp, he probably sees himself as a power forward even though the Rocks could almost field a team of PFs. After all, he is short enough to qualify as a PF or perhaps C.

    So when he was working out with Pooh Richardson a couple months ago I guess he saw himself as a point guard.

    Why are you guys so against our players from learning from Shawn Kemp. If any of our players can exude even half the talent and star power Kemp showed on the Sonics, I would be completely satisfied. We are rooting for basketball players, not Sunday school teachers kids.

    Hopefully with all the optimism that's coming out of these meetings now, this game wont even happen. I really hope training camp has started before nov. 12-13th.. PLEASE!!

    Marcus has made it clear he is a SF.

    Marcus trains with Pooh Richardson and Shawn Kemp. He thinks of himself as a Point Forward. He clearly wants to take over the legacy of T-Mac.

    Kobe trained with Hakeem, so he sees himself as a center. I wonder why the Lakers don't move him to C.

    Training with Shawn Kemp doesn't help since the guy showed no respect for his opponents ever, all he wanted to do was dunk on people and stare them down. He and Payton were one of the most arrogant duos in NBA history, glad they never did well together and got a ring.

    I hope SO badly that McHale is different than Adleman and just starts Morris.. Play the guys that will benefit the most from immediate playing time and dont worry about our record. Our owner is very fortunate and can hold out on one below-par half season. Getting a good draft spot for this draft class could change this franchise..

    David Thorpe picked Marcus Morris to be the fourth best rookie next season:

    http://espn.go.com/nba/story/_/page/5-on-5-111103/ranking-five-best-nba-freshmen

    Thorpe does seem a little off his rocker, predicting Tristan Thompson to be the best rookie and Biyombo to be the second best. But I'm going to agree with his optimism on Morris anyway. :grin:
