Almost 20 years ago. Time flies.
that was beautiful. i remember saying the king would never ever have a jumper because his release was so awkward and inconsistent. one minute it was stiff legged straight up & down and the next it was this automatic fadeaways like the answer even if no one was guarding him. but to his credit 80 mil out the gate or not, he worked tirelessly on his form and release point. i absolutely love what he's done with his shot now and that turnaround fadeaway he developed is the business too
and lol @ desagna diop. i remember trading for him on 2k5 to give kobe some help in the middle because mihm was trash. so why the hell would i go into the tainted cleveland well again right? well we had just played them on the road and diop abused mihm, rasta monster, and medvedenko to the tune of 25 & 12 so i was like fukk it. made the trade & diop was an all star, m.i.p, and dpoy lmao. and of course bean got finals mvp, mvp & scoring title. i started calling this nikka african shaq b
