   Normally London would be focussed on how much Abramovich will spend on the summer transfers for the Blues, but the Olympic basketball going on has piqued my interest in the sport. Watching 'retro' games is very interesting, and I have realised that the game in America is now a far cry from what it used to be.

   Let's test all of your nostalgia for the golden era of basketball in the 80's and 90's--NBA on NBC, tripleheaders and all that good stuff!

   Of course, if you feel that something should be on the list that isn't there, just say so in your comment!

   Do I look like a fujoshi to you? More importantly, why must Sankaku turn every single topic into something perverse? I'm simply asking which two players you were a fan of growing up! Good grief...

   I voted for Michael and Scottie, but I was really hoping to see Kareem and Magic on this list.

   I love nothing more come All-Star time than watching those old games. Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Wilt Chamberlain, Walter Frazier, Magic Johnson, Moses Malone, Larry Bird, Robert Parish, Isiah Thomas, etc... Amazing history/games throughout the 70s and 80s. Need me some EPSN classics right now!

   EDIT:
   Unfortunately, I'm a young guy (21) and didn't actually get to witness any of those games as they happened. Growing up Michael Jordan, Charles Barkley, Shaq, and Scottie Pippen were the big names around my area.

   If I had included Rik Smits in this list, would you still be saying such nonsense? Where does this comment even come from?

   I will proceed to ignore any and all of the other posts like this one...

   I must confess that I'm not a Lakers fan at all, and this probably had something to do with me overlooking Kareem and Magic. Even though Kareem came into the league over 25 years before Magic Johnson played his final game, their careers did overlap a good bit. Ha ha, you could even put a young 'Lew Alcindor' and Oscar Robertson on this list as well! Probably the main reason I overlooked these two is that (similar to Larry Bird and Kevin Mchale, or Joe Dumars and Isaiah Thomas), they didn't play together at all during the 1990's--this probably subconsciously affected me. Anyways, though, I agree that I definitely should have included Kareem and Magic as a choice!

    I was never a Lakers fan either, but I did like both players. I grew up liking the Bucks (where Kareem got his start), but I got sick of rooting for a team that hadn't seen a title since 1986 (until 2001) and switched over to the Bulls because they weren't far away and Michael Jordan was just awesome to me as a kid. It didn't help that he did Space Jam when I was 6. haha. I've since returned to being a Bucks fan, but still find it hard to watch them not succeed.

    Being almost 30 and watching the NBA from the late 80's to the late 90's, I'm familiar with all of these "duos." But the only "duo" among them in the truest sense of the word was Stockton and Malone.

    Fair enough. They were able to dominate the NBA with one simple screen and roll play for over 15 years--in many ways I feel that Stockton was possibly the most intelligent NBA player of all time, and Malone might have been the best power forward ever (although I have great respect for Charles Barkley, and I have a soft spot for Chris Webber's skills as well).

    Some of my earliest memories of watching basketball with my father are both the 1997 and 1998 NBA finals, since that's about the only thing we could get on satellite in England. We both really liked the Utah Jazz, and were very disappointed at the outcomes of those series, especially when Jordan pushed of on Bryon Russell on the last play of the 1998 finals. I haven't watched basketball since the 2002 Western Conference Finals (with the exception of the finals in the last two years), where I feel a great Kings team was robbed of a chance at a championship by corrupt refereeing.

    When my father started going to the gymnasium each week to play he would always say that if there was a player he would want to emulate, it would be John Stockton. Of course, I always wanted to play like Jason Williams and Allen Iverson, ha ha!

    BY THE WAY, I am quite frustrated with the recent practise of adding completely unrelated tags to any forum topics I create. This topic obviously has absolutely NOTHING to do with 'yaoi', and therefore should not be tagged as such. I have let this go until now, but it needs to stop. If the moderator who did this wants to make a thread involving spurious accounts of mostly African-American males fornicating with each other, then that is within their rights, but take your twisted sodomising inclinations elsewhere!

    Actually anyone can add tags. Probably just some lurkers pulling a prank though.
