I was never a good basketball player.

Weren't we all :lol:

I get a lot better as every year goes by.

I'm old as dirt, still playing with guys 40 years + younger than me:!: I played last night, was on fire - I'll tell you. I still have my shot but have learned the older I have gotten, I have no place in the paint. There is only a couple things I hate and thats when we pick who we will guard and one of those 19 to 22 year olds say's I GOT THE OLD MAN :evil:. The second is when I get home after playing, walk through the back door and the first thing that comes out of my wifes mouth is what did they hurt and how bad tonight. Just Once she could ask me did you burn them to tonight. As for my game I will tell you this,from the parking lot to the gym theres No One that can beat me (Got my Nike Air Max 360 on my feet, my Under Armour trunks with X-Large Pro Jock, and my free-be BU T-Shirt with the sleeves cut off)

You made me laugh and I had to read it to my GF who said I think the same thing as his wife. :roll: I went from touching the rim to having the vertical jump of the width of a credit card.

No comparison at all after what I saw last night, Mike Davis is a really good looking player. Have not even seen AT much, so what's there to compare with? Having said that it's always BU first, Illini second and Loyola figures always in the mix, can you beleive the 1963 NCAA championship game was not on TV - listened to it on the radio, not sure about the spelling but remember the names - Miller to Egan to Rouse to Hunter to Harkness. Red Rush was one great broadcaster

Not sure but I think that game was on TV. Thought I watched it. Might be wrong, it was a long time ago. Red Rush was a great announcer and had some great lines like, "swisheroo, it went right through." Also did Sox games and was my 2nd all time favorite announcer, right behind Bob Elson.

This may need to be another thread but I also had a few radio play by play announcers growing up that would paint a picture in your head like you were there. I'm sure kids now days rarely listen to the radio for games since most games are on the tube and there are more then one TV per household.
My brother had a clock radio, not the electronic kind but the kind where the numbers would turn over. Well during the summers my mother would tell us to go to bed but the Orioles were still playing. Well I'd flip my pillow on the other side we'd put the game on low and listen to the magical words of Chuck Thompson doing the play by play. I still remeber listening to Brooks Robinson's last game as an O's as he hit a HR. Magical moments is all I can say.
