Jerry Stackhouse and Allan Houston? talk about must see TV.
February 25th, 2012 at 7:22 PM
Larry Bird, Dale Ellis, Mark Price, Craig Hodges, Steve Kerr. I would take these guys’ corpses against the current crop.
February 25th, 2012 at 7:24 PM
Craig Hodges has the record in my mind, did it before they caved and moved the 3-pt line in.
Do they still do the ABA Moneyball?
February 25th, 2012 at 7:31 PM
Can’t wait.
February 25th, 2012 at 7:43 PM
Jesus, even the Shooting Stars lineup is terrible!!!!
February 25th, 2012 at 7:45 PM
That thud you just heard was Michigan dropping to a 5 or 6 NCAA tournament seed.
February 25th, 2012 at 7:53 PM
Was wondering why they didn’t just go with a Houston Comets WNBA player, and then I found out the Comets folded 4 years ago. That’s too bad.

I’d rather watch Oliver Miller, Glen Davis, Baron Davis, and Shaq dunk doughnuts.

February 25th, 2012 at 9:04 PM
UConn needs this win tonight. Lets go 5-0 vs. Cuse at Gampel
February 25th, 2012 at 9:12 PM
UConn throwing some lobs for dunks. Playing well so far
February 25th, 2012 at 9:29 PM
This is the UConn team I have been watching the last 2 months. Cuse just beating em.
February 25th, 2012 at 9:40 PM
Man, UConn takes some dumb ass shots.
February 25th, 2012 at 10:40 PM
Chase with the “White man cant jump” dunk. Only good one so far.
February 25th, 2012 at 10:46 PM
Got ourselves a ballgame. UConn playing like they did to start the game.
February 25th, 2012 at 11:05 PM
Poor execution by UConn at the end but that was a freakin foul. Same guys who did the Marquette v. W. Virginia game last night.

Larry Legend told the group he was competing with that he would win the contest without taking off his warm-up jacket and he did just that. Killa.
