D(C)REAM TEAM














Analysis of 1992 "Dream Team" is unneccesary I reckon. Ewing and Laettner were headscratchers (notice how uncomfortable they look in the team photo LOL), but every other bit speaks for itself

Mullen got sick eating mussels

Of Note: Lithuanians bronze medal mellow mushroom daddies included because they were brilliant and hysterical.

MITCH RICHMOND: HONEST EYES








"The Rock" was drafted #5 by the Warriors in the strangely soggy white bread 1988 draft.


Worked at a video rental shop while in school for a bit while at K State. (Good Visual)


Rookie of the year 1989, All-Star MVP 1994-1995 tho never a household name = his brother was his agent.


Good Slasher/Movement. Super Soft Accurate Jumper got you everywhere in that era.


First Kings star. Thank god for the tech explosion in San Jose, Oracle and Netscape kept the Kings accounting liquidity in the black by buying blocks of tickets for years as limp gifts to employees.


36th all-time scorer with one of the highest FG% of the modern era while getting double teamed for 7 years deserves respect.


Always played hurt, always played hard. Banger.


Lets not talk about that Laker piggyback champion ring thing too much, he paid for it emotionally in those early round playoff exits.


Scouts for the Warriors now which is like selling fur coats in Sri Lanka, born to suffer I guess. Love you Mitch.

PENNY HARDAWAY















Named Penny because of grandma's southern drawl affected nickname for him which was PRETTY (seriously)

Was a ref at Memphis area YMCA's in high school while a top 10 prep player

When he committed to Memphis 8ball & MJG released a song on local rap station which no one has apparently

Got shot in the foot by a Glock while at a party a month into his freshman season (Fuck)

Kept a 3.4 GPA while redefining what a point guard should do (he averaged 9 rpgs)

Made Shaq crack up everyday during filming for Blue Chip and Shaq begged the front office for him. They took him instead of eternally sullen Chris Webber. He then took that sore thumb from NBA Jam Scott Skiles' job in Orlando and never looked back.

Could dunk, shoot, and pass like nobody else in 94-96.

Big Scoring Playoff King

Inside or Outside Threat

Stunned by Shaq trade. Had no idea.

Everybody forgets he had 6 knee surgeries in the era where even stars played hurt. Lost his speed and his confidence. Another casualty of "Its all in your mind" "Play through Pain" bullshit

His shoes started the shoe collector movement

Only Magic jersey that looked ok ever.

Lil Penny spots were the bomb. HEY TYRA YOU LEFT YOUR TOOTHBRUSH AT MY HOUSE
