      @@jasonpeng33 Ditto. After all they had been through to get that close and not quite get there was tough. I loved when they played in the Silverdome. Sure it was a football stadium and they weren't the main tenant, but it was a huge advantage. Was one of the few places Larry Bird consistently played poorly. No other team could host a game and fit 40-45,000 people. It was so loud. In either '87 or '88 they managed to draw 63,000 for a regular season game against Boston. I went to 2 games there in the spring of 88. I miss the dome.

      Only guy who could guard Jordan. Thats when you could use forearm. Plus his action in 96 olympics. Everyone was bitching about playing time. He told ? Not to play him to ease the pussy attitude. Was it Briwn who then told all the kids what he was willing to do. Selfish bunch. Like Rio. Nba guys rented a huge yacht to stay on. Only Durant hung with other US kids. From day 1 the girl who won Archery gold was only there 3 days. Woke up eating breakfest when Durant shows up like a normal guy. That inspired teams. He showed up at Beach Volleyball games from start. Hanging in the sides of stands. When he got noticed plus him staying in dorms he was getting press. Then Lebrin and rest started showing up but were just looking like they cared.

      Up high, Laimbeer was fine, but Laimbeer pushes Kareem with his body down low to throw his shot off. Re-watch it! Any referee will tell you that, it's when an advantage is gained by the defender that you make the call. If anything, Laimbeer shouldn't have "tested" the referee while the Lakers were at home, and, Kareem was a 19yr vet- he's going to get the call when it's close!

      @@edkiely2712 Watch it again. First of all, Alcindor got away with a travelling violation. Check the 1:51:53 mark. Secondly (and Alcindor was known for this), he stiffed Laimbeer with his non-shooting arm to help create space just before Laimbeer was able to make contact . Alcindor was _not_ pushed. Foul-wise, that's a no-call and Alcindor should have been called for a travel. Period.

      @@rafikz77​​⁠It would’ve been interesting … but the Lakers were gradually becoming a shell of themselves by 1989. Even in 1987 I could see that Magic wasn’t as limber and athletic as he was in the early 80s. And of course Kareem’s last truly great year was probably around 1982. Age was catching up with them … and Riley was essentially down to a 7 man rotation. So - given that it’s remarkable how long they hung around. Sadly … age gets all of us eventually.

      Lakers had their share of bad luck in the early 80s … starting with Magic’s injury in 1981. I still think the 83 and 84 Lakers were the best Laker teams of the decade, talent-wise. But tough luck/injuries got ‘em…. But others had similar tough breaks at times … the Sixers, Celtics …. And several teams in the 70s who failed to repeat. It happens … talent will out, eventually. And so it did.
