The Greatest Team That Never Was

[airmax95fan]

The Lakers would've been fukked if that Houston team stuck together. They could not stop Hakeem and Ralph at all

That's why David Stern broke them up with drug test set up.

So John Lucas snitched on Wiggins and Lloyd? Thats what the article suggested?

What gave you the impression that it was Lucas who snitched?

they suggested they were set up (which it looks like in fairness). They said it was someone in the program, and then the next picture is of John Lucas.

I may be looking too deep into it, but I get the impression it was him.

Jess Kersey (referee): I tried to get between Hakeem and Kupchak and had Hakeem around the waist. They were throwing punches above my head because I'm only 5-10. I grabbed Hakeem when he was on his heels and the little bit of body weight that I had, it kind of moved him back a little bit and both of us went down to the floor. People were coming around and they were kicking at Hakeem.18

Rambis: It was a validation, like most NBA brawls, that basketball players can't fight.19

Kersey: Somebody punched me in the head and I yelled up, "I don't know which one of you just punched me in the head, but if I find out, you're going to be ejected." With that, Bill Fitch said to me, "Jess, I know who punched you." Of course in the heat of the moment, I look at Bill and say, "Who was it?" He said, "It was Kareem and Magic."

Funniest piece of the article.

Bill Reid: The late, great Dennis Johnson, one time he brought the ball up to half court and I opened up the gate. He said, "Reid, what are you doing? You ain't going to play no defense?" I said, "Look down there. Do you feel lucky?" He cussed me out.

lmao

Doesn't matter. It's the Basketball Hall of Fame, not the NBA's personal HOF. Ralph Sampson is one of the greatest college players of all-time; his college career is definitely more impressive than Bernard's NBA career.
