Scottie Pippen...


...is an OG Black Prezodent.
(Patrick Ewing is not. But oddly, enough, Patrick Chewing may just be.)

The Real NBA

I wanna talk to Sampson!




There are so many awesome things about this video I don't even know where to begin. For example:
-the actual mid-80s ads you see a few minutes in
-Sampson cursing on national television
-the call on the play? "Punching foul." That's honestly what the referee says
-the difference between the way an incident like this would be commentated today and the way it was then
-Bill Walton mixing it up
and a glass of wine with dinner. Amazing.

Oh, Memphis

The Grizzlies have some uniforms that look like this:

Honestly, I think they're one of the best-, if not the best-looking unis in the Association.

So why, oh why, were they wearing these tonight?


Who is creating the demand for shiny uniforms? Who has decided that nothing says basketball style like lamé? I just don't get it.
