OT: Where would you rank this Game 7? NBA Finals Game?

He was white.

Good thing or bad thing?;

I know Splits gives you the business for being against the black man, but I read your "racism" as tongue-in-cheek. I think you sympathize with the black man's struggle. You wept for Magic and defend Kobe like a Doberman. And Jim Brown was your boyhood hero.

& anyway, why should I entertain you, Midst? You never reciprocate. You take. You never give.

Not looking for entertainment. Looking for honest discussion.

I think you get a bad rap as a Trump supporting racist. I think you play up the bitter old white man shtick to piss off Splits.

If that's your goal. Just five more and you're there.

What a selfish lover he is.

Then the Celtics followed it up by slapping the Lakers on their home court the next season!

Classic. Denying the LA Lakers their first championship on their own court.

West was a chucker something fierce.

Cousy was ahead of his time, though. A lot of his passing a en looks modern.

Manu-style shovel pass in traffic:



Nash-style pass in the lane:



Another Manu-esque pass:



Cousy should be highly respected by any basketball fan since he pretty much created the modern PG style as we know it today, innovating ball handling and passing like no player before him. Pistol Pete and even Magic get a lot "credit" for skills Cousy first innovated.

Yea, I could see Cousy being an all-star in today's game. He'd shoot better with the better ball. Sam Jones would probably be, too. He was a scorer with a pure stroke.

Better ball? Interesting. I've never heard or read anything about the ball making a difference. How was it different back then?

Heavier and harder. Shooting percentages, especially from distance were drastically down. I don't remember all the specifics. Might've been a harder leather that wore out faster than the fancy synthetics of today.
