You met LJ?

Awesome, he was one sick player

I remember getting a pair of black Larry Bird converse weapons from the States back in high school, every one gave me s*#t about wearing black shoes... wasn't long after that, no one wore anything else.

I was a Kings and Cannons fan back then as I knew a few guys who played on the teams and used to train with the Cannons when I lived in Canberra before I moved to Sydney in 91'. I followed the Bulls since I came to Basketball, I was reading about this Micheal Jordan guy from North Carolina, which was the College I followed on ABC when they played the Tourney, Mike ended up with the Bulls and so did I.

@Urmumma Darling Harbour was good for star power as well. I used to hang out with Shaun Bradley while he was out here on his mission (my claim to fame, blocking him at the rim in a game on a dunk attempt, 7'6" vs 6'0" with 40" vert... oh, and white) also met Scott Brooks, Dr J and a few nuff nuffs during the NBA Jam Exhibition, played with Wrex n Effect (look it up young folk) Montell Jordan, Mark Morrison and a few years ago played some 3 on 3 with Jamie Fox when he was out here for Stealth.

I miss those times, now I'm 42, just had my 2nd knee reconstruction 2 weeks ago, and resigned to being one of those old timers talking about it all over a beer... sad really.

Yeah, was pure luck actually, i was there for a knicks v thunder game in the off chance i could have a meeting with KD (alas that didnt happen) Anyways, day after that game was a knicks "legends" night and it happened to be LJ who was doing the meet and greet, so i got on the phone and was lucky enough to get in the queue and got to meet and have a photo taken and my game tix signed. Thats my 15 secs of fame hahah
One day i wanna go to okc and watch a home game of the thunder, that'll be sick, maybe get lucky again and have KD sign my KD rookie jersey from the sonic days lol ; )

mate, nothing sad about that! Seems like you've lived the dream, i'ld take being 42 and 2 knee recon's to have had the experiences you've had
By Mark Morrison, are we talking about the Mark Morrison of the "return of the mack" fame? i loved that dude!

Yeah that's the guy.

He tried to hit on my girlfriend at the time when we were all playing pool in a club with the Adelaide 36ers guys, she snubbed him bad and he got heaps from his entourage... so funny to watch.

Don't forget Glen Rice!!

I straightened him out on that one... as well as Kendall Gill in his prime.

76ers negotiating with Brett Brown to become their head coach.

Maybe Dante Exum can be his first draft pick next season? ;)

Yeah Koops, Brown accepted today. Mills might be a possible trade target, not sure about Baynes... have to look at the D-League schedule to find him and negotiate =P

Fact: Dante Exum goes to my school :D
