Scottie Pippen Talk about “The Patrick Ewing Dunk” Video. A ton of people, not you because you read this blog and know your Shtuff, do not know that Scottie Pippen is one of the best dunkers of all time. He was overshadowed by his Airness, but he is one of the best 50 to ever play, and he could levitate holmes.
In this clip, we see Scottie P reminisce of his dunk over Patrick Ewing. The Hapless Knicks were not like the Hapless Knicks of today. The Knicks of the 90′s had HOF’ers, coaching, defense, role players etc… They just could not get past the Bulls, so I still call them hapless. The “2000′s” Knicks had as many titles as the “1990′s” Knicks.
Anyways, check out this dunk. Listen to what Scottie has to say, and then just for good measure, check out Michael Jordan’s dunk over Patrick Chewing. Yep, I did it again. I am still trying to overshadow Scottie, but watch both vids, and you will see that Scottie holds his own.
Kevin Garnett: Wilt Chamberlain was like an Angel. KG has been sold to us as an old soul. From the first day he joined the league, we have seen him being praised by the older players for his work ethic and respect for the games history.
This is what they were talking about. Both videos below talk about the first time Kevin Garnett met Wilt Chamberlain on one special night in Cleveland. KG said that meeting “The Big Dipper” was like seeing an Angel. KG was star struck, He had no idea what to say. I am actually surprised they had not met before because KG played Wilt in the HBO movie rebound in 1996.
As a side note, this furthers my point that KG was devestated last year when Bill Russell told Duncan that Duncan was his favorite player. Garnett is wearing Celtic green every night and Russell is falling in love with Duncan? That had to hurt, especially when you see how much KG respected Wilt. I am sure it was the same way with Russell.
Michael Jordan Destroys Santa, Commercial. I love that the Nike geniuses were looking for a way for Air Jordans to become a popular Christmas gift, as if it needed any help, and their first idea was for MJ to PWN Saint Nick on the court. Sweet!
BTW, I love the classic Air Jordan logo. Some things are timeless.
Antonio Davis To Rodman “My Card Is Full” Video. I do not care what anyone says, the Rodman Bulls were the best, and maybe the best ever. Rodman brought determination and hustle to a team that could have easily become complacent going for its second three-peat.
Here we have a the Worm going for a rebound and getting into an impromptu tango with Davis. Rodman loved making everyone feel a little/ a lot uncomfortable.
Rewind: Standing Ovation, And Tears in Rodman’s Eyes, Video. In this video, Dennis Rodman, or the Worm, wins the 1990 “MASTER LOCK DEFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE YEAR” award. It is odd to see him with mono colored hair, but it is great to see a player that worked so hard to see some recognition.
Rodman looks around the palace and sees the extended standing ovation. He has to take a minute to soak it in. That is what all the hard work was for.
We need more “Rodman”s in the league. Who is the hardest working man in the league right now? Now compare that guy to Rodman. It’s not even close.
