I'm pretty sure you have to have a certain type(s) of media player to do that. My cousin told me about saving youtube videos before and that his media player gave him the option.

For youtube clips I use:

I figured some other website would work for this type of embedded arrangement...

ASS

Hey guys, why can't I see the video? I can just saw a picture.

Wow that was sick, wish I could've seen him play. Did he have 3pt range?? Also how was Rodman while he was here

Watch Amare play offense, and Dwight Howard play defense(only Drob wasn't quite as good of a rebounder)...and be sure to speed both of them up in your head while you are doing it.

Compared to who?

Could be yes.

He won 2 rebounding titles but he was a headcase that no one on the Spurs could handle....his second rebounding title was kind of bogus because he only played in like 45 games or something, that was the year the Spurs had the best record in the NBA.

The year Drob won the scoring title and Rodman won the rebounding title was the first time in NBA history that had happened with 2 different players on the same team(Wilt Chamberlain did both however and maybe somebody else way back there as well...


Either Rodman didn't care about playing D or else the Spurs coaches didn't ask him to play D, because he didn't play much D...he just rebounded the ball like a mofo...he didn't score much at all either. Part of the problem was that the Spurs played him alot at PF(because he actually could defend them to an extent) when he was really wasn't the size of a PF...basically they asked him to rebound and David to do everything else...which was pretty stupid and I'm not entirely sure Rodman deserves all the blame for that....because they pretty much asked David to do everything inside for pretty much all of his career...outside of the first couple of years with Terry Cmmings(who was asked to carry some of the rebounding and scoring load, not the defensive load).

Eventually extremely bad blood developed between David(and everyone else) and Dennis...so Dennis was traded...the season after he was traded, David lead the NBA in rebounds, I think to prove a point.

Even the crowd was cheering for him, that was classy from the clippers fan

Nothing "incorrect" about it, but your comment seemed to imply that you were diminishing David's ability and/or accomplishments in a thread meant as a tribute to him. And if that's what you were intending, well, yeah, then you're demonstrating an unbelievable level of "suckitude" by attempting to demean David.

Tim is great. He's the most skilled Spur of all time. But David in his prime was something incredibly special too, an absolutely unprecedented athlete, and he carried some terrible Spurs teams deep in the playoffs year after year. When he finally got another true star next to him in Tim, he won it all. And both of them were classy enough players and MEN to make the partnership work and avoid the drama of a situation like the Kobe/Shaq circus.

David Robinson played in an era where the elite teams had more than one superstar. He did not have any other superstar at that time playing with him, the spurs were not an elite team yet. You might be correct but is not fair to make that assumption.

I enjoyed that.

Rodman was a beast on the boards but that all he did. He did absolutly nothing else productive (getting tossed every other game or so isn't productive)

I remember there were times when he went to the free throw line and he would literaly just throw the ball at the basket. He made it no secret he didn't care if he made it or not. Probably bc he already knew he couldn't hit a shot that wasn't a dunk or a put back to save his life.

I was 12 or so when he played for the spurs and I never missed a game. I hated that dave had scrubs all around him and sean.

Neagle knight?
Sleepy floyd?
Llyod daniels?
Vernon maxwell pt 2?
Even crowd favs like 'toine carr and dale ellis were trash

What's funny about that dunk comment is I believe the season Drob lead the NBA in scoring was the first time in his career he didn't lead the league in dunks...might have been the year before though.

I don't think Antoine Carr was trash...I don't really even think Rodman was trash. The bigmen were not the problem, especially not when they had TC healthy....it was definitely the perimeter game that always hurt the Spurs. Especially against the teams that knew how to play defense in the post season like the Rockets and Jazz.

You weren't going to hurt those teams inside, they would put as many bodies inside as it took to shut it down...that's why the Jazz could dismantle any dominant inside team but get their clocks cleaned by teams like the Mavericks and Kings.

Same thing that usually decides whether or not the Spurs win a title now..when we've got the Stephen Jackson's and Mario Elie's and Steve Kerr's and Jaren Jackson's stepping up we don't lose...when we've got the Terry Porter's and Smitty's and Hedo's(when he played for us)...we don't.


The Spurs have had a bigman that could draw double teams for going 20 straight years now.......that means somebody is missing open shots when it matters....

He's one of the top centers to ever play this game.

Look at some of the things he's done.

Just because a guy doesn't win a ring with trash like Robinson was saddled with doesn't make Robinson a non "great"

Get the fuck out of here with that shit.

Yeah Carr was a 20 point a game guy in Sacramento when they acquired him in I think the summer of 92.

the Cummings injury in the summer of 92 as well is still an injury that haunts Robinson, I mean Terry Cummings was a borderline ALLSTAR. I think it was 91 he scored 60 the night they announced the all stars and they left him off the team.

The back court as was said was always crap.

After looking at the src, here's a way to at least see it in the full size of the browser...

Awesome vid! And great to hear Jay Howard doing play by play. Hearing Bill Schoening kinda crushes my soul sometimes.
