AI slop is out of control. Somehow, these videos still get big views. Most use AI voices that butcher player names and pair narration with photos that have nothing to do with what’s being said. It’s infuriating.
Very cool. I've never seriously considered collecting old-school card sets. May have to get involved.
The 1969-70 set is now complete, thanks @pwood399 for the Havlicek. This one was fun to put together. Now I have just 6 1975-76 cards left to finish off the decade.

Dave Cowens Basketball Camp was my 1st🏀camp! Dave asked what position I wanted to play. I said ctr or forward just like him. He looked way down at me & said ‘We’re going to make you the best little point guard on court & in life!’ A girl with a dream & it all started here ☘️🏀💚

Rare Michael Jordan footage from January 20, 1986.

Players take fewer steps to the locker room after the game. A travesty what has become of today's NBA.
You died at base camp.

Traveled on the Mavs with Big Mo! Saw the magic he brings up close. A special person!

Kevin was terrific in KC! We were blessed even though the Kings were not great to have Neal Funk, Kevin and Kevin Harlan

Bonus Hollander POTD Dwayne Schintzius. Florida C was drafted 24th by SA in 90. Best years were as backup for NJ from 92-95. Offense was ok but not fast. Bio references his role Eddie from the mid-90s. Retired in 99. Sadly died too young in 2012. RIP.
Big Mo. 🤝
Here’s my evergreen podcast chat with Paul “Big Mo” Mokeski about his life in basketball. We met @mokeski_paul and his lovely wife in Las Vegas in 2020 - one of the highlights of our trip to the USA that year.

12 NBA seasons. 763 games. Nine playoff runs. Backup to Moses Malone, Bob Lanier, Dave Cowens, and Jack Sikma.
A 7-footer who built his career on screens, toughness, and trust.
Most know that the ACC was elite in the 1980s too.
Here's one of my fav photos I've uncovered. RIP, Wayman.
