If anyone feels like checking out my youtube account (Imadoggydogg), my recent uploads are all highlights cut from old games on NBAtv.

The only bad thing is that when we're not watching Hardwood Classics... it's all WNBA.

Has there been some sort of conspiracy to lift Karl Malone to number 2, by downranking better players?

What I hate is turning to NBATV and hoping to catch one, only to see a WNBA game is on.

The '84 Lakers team on earlier this week was sick. Everyone remembers Kareem and Worthy and Magic and Cooper and Byron Scott and Rambis, but they also had Bob McAdoo and Jamaal Wilkes and Swen Nater. Teams would kill for that kind of depth now.

Revisiting Game 4 of the 1984 finals was a joy. In addition, it's interesting to watch not only how the game was played, but how the game covered by ABC and CBS during the 70s and 80s.

You'd think the NBA wasn't one of the 4 major sports leagues with how little they show NBA games on there. Doesn't make a lick of sense.

As for NBA TV, it is pretty enjoyable. They finally stopped showing the same 4 drafts like 150 times in a row. Watching some old classic games at least mends some of the withdrawal i've been having.
