    To the newer fans, Dream didn't just rock the 90s, he rocked the court as soon as he stepped on the court in the freaking 80s.

    Like Magic Johnson and Larry Bird and MJ, Dream made his presence known from day 1. Don't give me this 'peak period' crap. We went to the damn NBA Finals in Dream's second year!

    Still trying to figure out how this relates to Shane Battier?!?!?

    I'll decode your message eventually.

    You suckers need to take history lessons. LBJ was a president not a dude who misses jumpers in the 4th.

    Dream is forever. You know how long forever is?

    At times tinman you provide great stuff about the past, but you seriously need to see a therapist about your fear of letting go of the past :)

    You don't even know the past, if Skynet sent you back in time, you'd never find Sarah Connor, you'd probably think it was Sarah Palin or Sarah Bareilles or Sarah Smile.

    I'm not going to sit here and let newbs tell an incomplete story of the Dream. Saying Dream 'peaked' for only 3-4 years. He destroyed people from day one, you know this, we old knight rider, miami vice, bobby brown loving people know this

    This is like saying Michael Jackson only had one album.

    You mean he'd find a real person instead of a fictional character?

    you mean you know no culture. go back and root for the hawks if you don't want to be educated about the 80s Rockets.

    I'm sorry, what does Skynet or Sarah Connor have to do with the Rockets again?

    what do you and this dude

    have to do with this thread?

    hint:

    N_TH_NG

    Alex, I like to buy a couple of vowels

    Did you know that Dream dominated in the 80s or not? it's pretty simple.
    if you did, good. if you just learned good.

    Don't go spreading BS about Dream like you do about that crap player you like that won nothing. Get the story straight about Dream. Day 1 he stepped on the court, it was thriller.

    If I had to guess, I'd say we were both tired of you starting the same threads as a passive-aggressive response to what someone else said in another thread. Just guessing though.

    There's no need to read this thread if you find nothing interesting in the topic.
    For example, there's a Yi thread in the DISH. I ain't reading that!

    Maybe I find a need to education people all of the sudden. Just like when people say Jordan didn't play in 95.

    Stay out of threads I don't like eh? Funny hearing that from you, of all people. ;)

    Look, if people think Jordan didn't play in 95 or Olajuwon "wasn't Thriller" in the 80's, they're clearly idiots. No need to start a separate thread, "educate" them in the existing thread.

    I'm on threads that I like. The threads themselves are fine, the information (misinformation) is what I respond to.;)

    More power to you then, keep it in the existing threads instead of starting threads like this.
