NBA season 2019/20

Some of the drinking scenes surprised me.
Rodman knocks back a beer then jumps on a motorbike in front of a large crowd, and possibly cops?
The Bulls finally beat the Piston in 1991, then get on it on the way home? Sure, they swept them so would have had a few extra days to prepare for the finals, but this still surprised me.
And then also on a plane, MJ is talking to one of his team-mates casually about being up all night (fucking) and being hungover, like it's not really that big of a deal.
I would have thought the latter two, even 30 years ago, would have been frowned upon or seriously curbed in such a high dollar value professional environment.

There were a few Rodman insights that hadn’t been covered in previous docos.
The Phil Jackson stuff was interesting particularly the coaching down in Puerto Rico
-
A bit more stuff around the Isaiah Thomas And Pistons game 4 ECF which I quite liked.
Thomas was a phenomenal player but I never liked him. I was more a fan of Joe Dumars and Vinnie Johnson. I was a fan of Rodman. Still to this day he did one of the sweetest blocks I’ve seen, in the 1990 All-Star game. Brilliant reaction and timing. That showed in Ep 3 when he was talking about his own personal tactics and how he trained.

With all this The Last Dance talk, I thought I'd pull out NBA Live 98 and give it a run. I didn't think I'd play too much of it because the graphics seemed laughable, but I can't stop playing it now. Just love the rosters on this game.
Jordan was never on these old NBA games because of licensing, although #89 is suppose to be him on this game, but that doesn't quite feel right. EA did provide info on how to create MJ for yourself though.

I have an arcade game set up in the basement of my house , has 2,000 games on it, Inc NBA Jam from c 1993. As you say, the graphics are shocking, but it's still kinda fun for the trip down memory lane alone

Don't physically have any of them anymore, but am finding them all over the place. Will def watch HG at some point, I can't remember what's in each these days so fun to rewatch

One of my all time favourite basketball videos is the Larry Bird one. A bad bad man.

@mariner4life The body is banging but not sure about the face. Too much surgery.

@voodoo my mum went to the states in 94 and 97 and bought me all this Chicago gear and all the tapes of MJ(come fly with me etc) all of the MJ videos were basically the same things - cut by his high school coach at the beginning, a montage of his flying ability and then a few sound bites from him, other players, reporters, and coaches. They were all the same footage and ordered the same. That's why I love this one so much because it's warts and all.

C- Tristan ThompsonI can't be bothered checking the others but I think you are giving too much credit to one of the younger sisters. Simmons went out with the hotter sister Kendall (Mrs CF watches that shit). Pretty sure that Kylie would have been too young to datea bunch of those other dudes too

Kendall is certainly the hotter of those two sisters. She's au naturale and much better for it.
Looks much like the mum. She must have been a looker when she was young. Kendall is the hottest of all of them IMHO
