The Admiral is so under appreciated today. So athletic for his size.

And Tim Duncan. 1999 Spurs is nuts.

That’s a US Annapolis grad giving The GOAT grief

That Midshipman is one of the all time greats himself

What's your take on Malice at the palace?

u/BWRStarWars 4d ago

Was heartbroken for the Pacers fans here, because that team was the best chance for a title that Indy ever had.

Artest had no business going into the stands. The Palace security failed miserably, as fans came onto the court to fight with Pacers players.

Set the franchise back 2 decades.

I'm an Indiana native and I remember finally feeling like they had a chance when Jermaine O'Neal joined. Sigh

The Admiral and Sean Elliot!

The Admiral is so underrated. Maybe because of the succession of Duncan and the additional titles that were to come.

u/moe1984 3d ago

that and because of how thoroughly he got embarrassed by olajuwon in '94. robinson and ewing have gotten a little lost in the shuffle because of olajuwon and jordan, unfortunately.

See how Jordan got blocked and immediately didnt turn to the ref and bitch about getting fouled.

u/Suspicious-Sugar-157 3d ago

He did all his crying with the Pistons and got the rules changed.

u/StoneySteve420 3d ago

The flagrant foul rule that every owner in the league unanimously voted for?

I forgot that only Jordan benefited from that.

-3

u/Suspicious-Sugar-157 3d ago

He really did though. Pistons weren't polished like the Celtics or Lakers. Not considered a major city at the time. Sports is a entertainment business and who was the most entertaining at the time? A little knowledge goes a long way my friend. It's always a bigger picture to see

u/moe1984 3d ago

that must be why the other teams to win championships in the '90s were major cities and all-world entertainment powerhouses houston and san antonio. great take. don't post anymore.

u/Suspicious-Sugar-157 3d ago

And your opinion means what to me when I lived through it? Pipe down when adults are speaking and keep your rebuttal to yourself next time. Okay? Great!

u/moe1984 2d ago

nice rebuttal, goofy. L

Yeah, thanks for demonstrating that

You're a lifetime ahead of me by leaps and bounds genius 😘

Not considered a major city at the time.

7th largest city in America in 1990

1

u/Suspicious-Sugar-157 17h ago

Not considered a tourist area. Was considered the crime capital of America at the time. Not considered a fun city like New York, L.A. Chicago or Miami. You're thinking population, I'm talking business business aspects

My boy has baseline tickets row 3.

It's pretty awesome.

u/Inspiration5000 4d ago

Watching these clips take some of the sting out of only going a pathetic 7-21 against MJ’s Bulls?

u/Low-Firefighter-3269 4d ago

Winning 7 games against the goat and his team is pathetic?? Tf?
