Cool

Guys, I was just kidding about seeing the center jump after each basket. I'm old, but not quite that old. At least that's what my old buddy, Dr. Naismith used to tell me.

Actually, I started following basketball in the late 1950s when I used to watch the NBA on ABC (yes, they were on ABC in those days). Chris Schenkel did the play by play and Jack Twyman did the commentary. It seemed like Boston was on every Sunday playing either Philadelphia or Baltimore.

That's back in the days when watching the NBA was the same as watching real basketball.

Gee - I wonder what Oscar Robertson thinks about Rasheed "Captain Pre-school" Wallace?
