but did all kris's suck in 92? i guarantee you that in 1992 fatty was wearing his z cavaricci jeans that he bought at the chess king at willowbrook mall backwards just like kris kross.
Pretty sure z cavariccis were a late 80s maybe 1990 fad and were over by 1992. girbaud jeans were big after cavariccis but then Grunge punched style back to flannels and plain jeans in 1991.
youre right. those were the ones that had the f***ing white tag right over your front zipper. i remember them being popular my freshman year (1989-1990). but fatty was probably still rocking them in 1992.
Just because every single person that went to tech will be forever inferior to every single person that went to UT is no reason to pick on fatty.
Well, I don’t hold that against him, in fact, I don’t hold anything against him as I don’t (and don’t want to) know him. Party on, Garth...
I am so far away from a saint it isn’t even funny, the difference is that I’m secure with who I am and not a blithering idiot.
I am so, so thankful that neither of these jeans were a thing/trend in my circles back then. Guess in Jr high got popular (and that was bad enough, folded over and rolled up with sockless Cole Hahns) in the 80's and it's always been Levi's (and now Carhart and Duluth make good ones) after that.
1. How dare you write that about those two songs? In a world in which "Sussodio", "Livin La Vida Loca", "Mambo #5", "Achy Breaky Heart" and so forth exist, ya'll need to leave Starship and Billy Joel alone! 2. Now you're just being mean about Billy. Has he even had an album in 20-30 years? I feel like it's been decades since he put out an album even if just for a money grab. (Obviously I'm a biased Billy Joel fan but still...)
Uhhh...Chris Mullen, NBA stats, 91-92-93 (2 seasons, Olympics were inbetween) ~52%/40%/82.5%; 25.7 ppg, 5.5 R, 3.5 A, 2 S, 1 Blk. He got hurt halfway into '92-93 and it was downhill from there. Bird on his last legs in '92 before his back gave out averaged 20/9/7 and shot 40% from 3
Mullin was the least legendary NBA all-star on the most legendary team of NBA all-stars ever. I mean, somebody has to be. That doesn't make him as bad as BILLY ****ING JOEL, he's not a monster!
Yeah, there was probably some tokenism at play, but you can't call him overrated because no one really rated him that highly. He was probably the third-best white player of his era behind Stockton and a past-it Bird. He's remembered at maybe the 20th best player in the NBA during for a five-year stretch or whatever, which is fair enough, I think. He was also pals with Manute Bol, which is nice. Billy Joel wouldn't give Manute Bol the time of day because he'd be too busy guzzling whiskey with cocaine poured into it and playing hack mock-rock for dumdums.
Mullin had scored over 25ppg in 4 straight seasons leading up to the Dream Team whereas Isiah Thomas was in decline for several seasons before the Dream Team selection... and one could argue that in international play, shooting carries with it a premium. Mullin was the better shooter. Isiah Thomas was also a one-position player -- PG -- and the Dream Team was already very well established at PG with Magic and Stockton. The bigger need was an outside shooter. Obviously the construction of the Dream Team isn't without criticism, since Laettner was on it instead of Shaq... although there's a case to be made that a 19 y/o Shaq who couldn't shoot free throws might be a liability versus the more skilled, older player in Laettner. There was little risk in taking Laettner, there was some risk in taking Shaq... and the team already had Patrick Ewing and David Robinson, so Shaq was completely redundant at the time. It might have been too much too soon for Shaq in 1992.
If you compare the three you mentioned in the early 80's, Mullins was clearly the next big white boy for the early 90s. Larry was on the decline and Stockton wasn't as respected as he is now. https://www.basketball-reference.com/players/m/mullich01.html https://www.basketball-reference.com/players/s/stockjo01.html https://www.basketball-reference.com/players/b/birdla01.html
