Abdul-Jabbar's favorite novelist is Raymond Chandler. Biquge.info was still reading during the 1985 finals.
John Lucas of Denver said:
"Before the 1995 draft, I invited seven players, including McDyes, to my arena for training and accommodation. Only one person woke up and made the bed clean...... You can guess who it is. ”
McDyce had a block in practice in 1996 with the ball printed 60 centimeters on the basket.
Big Dream was extremely thin when he first arrived in the United States from Nigeria. When he was at the University of Houston, his senior ****** bought him a Xiaoice box to stuff in his dorm room so that he could eat at any time. A year and a half of dreaming of growing 60 pounds of flesh and transforming into the weird guy we know.
The Nuggets' current big ostrich McGee's mom Pam McGee is a famous player in the American women's basketball team with excellent genetics. It's not surprising that Aunt Pam McGee had publicly accused the magician of being long before he was diagnosed with AIDS, saying that he had thousands of women and was unlucky. It's meaningful to think about it casually.
The Naval Academy recruits no more than 6 feet 6 (198 cm), and David Robinson was so tall when he graduated from high school, so he entered the Naval Academy; Growing to 216 cm in college, their opponents think they are cheating.
When Robinson first started working with Larry Brown, he was training one day, and Brown wanted everyone to practice more. The admiral made a bet with Grandpa Brown: "I can walk around the field with my hands upside down!" Grandpa Brown: "Okay, you can do it, the whole team will not need to practice today!" The Admiral did so, and Grandpa Brown broke down.
ABA Super God of War 218 cm Majin Artis Gilmour is not so immortal when he arrives in the NBA. He was thought to have had the same temper as Chamberlain, too good-tempered to succeed. Example:
In the 1980-81 season, the Bulls vs. the Warriors. Lorenzo Loma was slapped by Gilmour and fell to the ground, and the Bulls rallied on a fast break. Gilmour didn't follow up, but bent down and pulled Loma up: "You're not hurt, are you?" ”
In 1984, Vanderwicki, who had been scoring high for several years with the Nuggets, went to the Trail Blazers. It's no secret that the Nuggets in the early '80s were crazy people, scoring the highest 186-184 score ever against the Pistons. Someone asked Van Dewicjk: "If you play like this with the Denver Nuggets, will you develop bad habits on defense", Mr. Fan replied:
"No, because we're in the Nuggets, we don't defend at all."
In 1983, when the Bucks guard was injured, the elder gave small forward Marquis Johnson control the ball, and Marquis laughed at himself, "I'm the pointfoward." Probably this is the first time that the term "organizational striker" has been officially coined. The next season, Precy really became a playmaker.
So, while Havlicek, Rick Barry, and Dr. J all played the role of playmaker in the '70s, and Placey and Bird carried it forward in the '80s, the role of playmaker was first created and used by Marquis Johnson.
Magic's 1979 Rookie Quotes:
"Playing basketball doesn't need five geniuses who shoot difficult balls, it just needs five ordinary people, everyone runs, passes, layups, and wins."
Bird's 1979 Rookie Quotes:
Asked: "Larry, there are only four or five people in the league who earn more than you now." What do you think of them? ”
Answer: "I'll kick them all to death!" ”
Think about their fate after that, take a look.
In 1984, John Stockton was drafted by the Jazz No. 16. He answered the phone and heard a whine on the other end of the phone.
Stockton: "What, those people booing me?" ”
Over there: "No, they're asking, 'Who?'" ’”
George McCann's first contract was offered for fifteen thousand. Lakers star Hartman, who signed him, was about his age at the time. At the age of 27, Hartman's boss pooled the money to form the Lakers, sign McCann, and build the first dynasty in the NBA, when McCann was four years younger than him.
So it doesn't have to be Abramovich and Cuban to play a game of running a game with reality.
1968-69: Elvin Hayes becomes the last man to win the scoring title in his rookie season.
That same year, Wes Unside was the man who won the MVP in his last rookie season so far.
And the two of them teamed up to win the championship in 1978.
"Bird is a slow runner, a heavy walker, tall but short arms. The first time I met him, I thought it was unreliable. The third time I met him, I thought he could probably play in the NBA, but could he be a mainstay on the team? I doubt it. ”
――Doesn't that sound like a person who said that? However, the words came from Alex Hannum. Between 1957-69, the Celtics only failed to win the championship twice, both of which were led by this grandfather who were able to intimidate Chamberlain's old vultures. So, a god like Uncle Han will look away......
On Valentine's Day in 1966, Chamberlain scored his 20,884th career point against the Pistons, surpassing Petty, and he was the highest total scorer in NBA history until he was surpassed by Skyhook in 1983. He said at the time: "For me, it's more important than 100 points. Now there are more and more people who can score, and one day there will be people who will score 100 points in a single game, but the total record of 20,000 points should be able to last for a while." -- The truth is that there are many 20,000 points, and he is really the only one with 100 points.
When Russell entered the NBA in 1957, he had a high jump of 201 centimeters. Havlicek vowed that he could run 7.2m in the long jump and 110m hurdles in 13.4 seconds. I have no doubt about his high jump, but I always felt that his (and Chamberlain's) speed might be a bit blowy
"Chamberlain will be great when he comes into the league, but I think his arrival will be the best thing that has ever happened to the Celtics...... We never knew how good Russell could really be, including himself. He had never been challenged. And the arrival of Chamberlain will inspire Russell to reach his limits. —Bill Sharman prophecy, 1959. We all know what happened in the next ten years.
In the 1975 playoffs, Rick Barry led the team to win the championship and was invincible all the way; Only eight of the 17 games had fewer than 29 scores, and four of those games came against the Bulls. If you look at the video, you will find that in those games, Barry's scoring was basically concentrated on the counterattack, and the positional battle could only rely on his signature "horizontal step dry right straight arm jumper" (so he had to take a urinal, and the arc was too flat) to score. Who is this person who can make Bari's head big? Bulls' No. 4 Jerry Sloan.
Yes, that Jerry Sloan as we know it.
Dayton University had a long man named Bill Ure, 213 cm, the second team in the United States in 1956, and is considered the best center in Dayton's history. Coach Darkoville said he was "a little slower than Russell, but Russell doesn't have his height and strength, he can run you right over!" - What would happen if this thing played in the NBA? Nobody knows. The Rochester Royals drafted him at the time, but he refused to play in the NBA and instead went to work for an insurance company.
In November 1959, Chamberlain, in his rookie year, met Russell for the first time. On the spot, Chamberlain singled out Russell and only hit 4 shots, but he still scored 38 points in the game by relying on frontcourt rebounds, fast shots, catch-and-shoot and free throws. Chamberlain had 38 points and 28 rebounds, and Russell had 22 points and 35 rebounds. This is the beginning of the confrontation with immortals.
The day after this game, the Celtics were wiped by the Lakers' Elgin Baylor for 64 points. That was the highest single-game score in the NBA up to the time. However, poor Belle kept this record for too short a time - you know, Chamberlain's era of scoring has just begun.
2001 NFL Draft No. 1 pick and super quarterback Michael Wick was interviewed. "The best quarterback from Newport, your hometown, are you, Brooks, or Rodgers?"
Vic replied:
"Neither, it's Aaron Iverson."

Havlicek once had the opportunity to choose between professional football, baseball or basketball. He decided to go to Boston Garden to have a look before deciding whether to play in the NBA. He went. Seeing Celtic – who would be winning the fourth of eight in a row that year – the ceiling of the dressing room, three metres high on one side and eight metres high on the other, with no suitcases and only nails hanging from the jerseys. He entered the arena and happened to see Guy Rogers, Sam Jones and Chamberlain fighting. Havlicek thought at the time: "Oh my God, what did I do wrong?!" “
The 1986 playoffs kicked off, and on April 17, at the legendary land of the NBA, Boston Garden—with 14 championship flags overhead—the Bulls met the Celtics, who won 67 in the regular season and 40-1 at home, ranking first in defensive efficiency in the NBA that season. Jordan, a sophomore, played the full game for the first time in a year after an injury (he had previously been allowed less than half of every game), played 43 minutes and scored 49 points. Celtics coach KC Jones, who has played against Chamberlain, West, and Baylor all the way since the 60s, has seen the situation for a long time, and he can't help but sigh here:
"I just stood there and said, wow! Let's just say it, it's a monumental show. ”
Celtic substitute Jerry Sichtin recalled many years later:
Dennis Johnson, who defended Jordan — the 1979 Finals MVP, one of the best perimeter defenders of all time, a six-time NBA First Team of the Year and a three-time NBA Second Team of the Year — silently took a shower after the game, stared at the stat sheet and looked. He looked at Jordan's 49 in a daze. He concludes:
"The good news is, we won. Michael won't be playing like this again. ”
As a result, in the second game, Jordan scored the legendary "God wore No. 23" 63 points in front of him. (To be continued.) )
