...you once thought the idea of a 3-point line would destroy the integrity of the game.
, I feel old knowing Blair just barely became old enough to drink.

This, I'm a couple months younger then Wall, it's nuts I used to look up to guys times my age, not someone I could go to school with lol
Don't know about fans, but you're an old NBA player when other NBA players talk about how they looked up to you when they were a kid...
when you thought Dennis Rodman would be the est Spur ever
...if you have witnessed Mark Cuban's team win an NBA le.
You are looking for the "alternate reality" thread. What you are going to want to do is follow that rabbit down the hole . . .
I was benched by my coach for dribbling behind my back in a game.
ahahahha!
You know, actually, I wasn't really trying to be funny. At that time, players that did stuff like dribbling behind their backs were considered "hot-doggers". My coach didn't care if it was done to get past a trap.
That would have been amazing.
When the players numbers in the rafters you've seen play in person outnumber the number of jerseys of players you haven't seen....
You shot your ball into these.
You shoot with 2 hands from behind your head
Vinnie Johnson says F you I aint old!
You know you're old when you aren't overly impressed by Splitter because you still remember a time when there were a million awsome centers in the NBA. I remember a time growing up when David Robinson, Olajuwan, Ewing, Daugherty,Rony Seikaly,Kevin Duckworth, Elden Campbell, Kevin Willis, Divac, Laimbeer, Parish, Shaq, Mourning, Dikembe Mutombo duked it out... I'm sure there's more...... what a drop-off in talent at the C position

Yeah. I cant believe it was only 3 seasons ago when the Spurs had guys in their rotation that were old enough to be my uncles. Now they're signing guys who can go to college with me.
I'm not quite that old. Lebron is 10 months younger than me. Greg Monroe, the Pistons first draft pick born in the 1990s, was born when I was in the 1st grade. But I remember when I was watching players born in the early 1960s. This is just crazy.
You went to the ABA Spurs game in the HemisFair Arena because the ticket was $5.00 or a "gimme ticket", parking was free (you knew where), you walked past "Bongo Joe", and if it was the holidays you went to Joske's 'By the Alamo' "Winter Wonderland" like you did as a little kid. and it was "Pearl Beer Nite" (Pearl Brewery had a small percentage ownership I think back then) and the beers were paid with a coin, Sven Nater was the talk, Gervin was yet to be "Iceman" and the shizz and the die was being set.
But it was the really cheap beer that motivated you to go downtown then and driving home "semi-hammered" was not automatically evil and 'open container' was legal.
1- if you remember each and every game of the Dream Team '92 in Barcelona
2- if you watched Jordans games with your high school friends when he had hair.
3- if you think that powerhouses teams are still Pistons, Celtics, Sixers, Lakers, and Knicks.
They used to be allowed to undercut guys who left their feet, right? Dunking would get you killed. I seem to recall reading something that the first guy to dunk got called for a foul because they didn't know what to do.
Another fun fact: Wilt Chamberlain is the reason free-throw shooters have to stay behind the stripe until the ball hits the rim.
You know you're old if you watched the fo fo fo Sixers win a le on tape-delay.
If you remember when "like Mike" was a marketing slogan instead what Kobe/Lebron fanboy arguments hinged on.
You are old in basketball if the girls played half court when you were in high school and your basketball shoes were canvas Converse , and you were happy to have them.
You are old in basketball if the 66-67 76ers were and are one your favorite teams of all time and you can remember starters and reserves from that team.
You are old in basketball if you went and watched the Spurs when they moved here from Dallas and wondered who were these guys with the names you never heard of.
You are old in basketball if you bought standing room only and stood in the aisles as the established teams and stars came to town the first year the Spurs were in the NBA.
Just a few.
There were no blacks
