I watched the movie a long time ago. Never really watched any tape. I'll check it out.

look for some tape of the fella named Earv also. (you might find him better using the name Magic)


And more recently Draymond Green of Mich State.

But when you get a seam, you have to take it to the rack. Beast Mode.

I love watching Magic highlight films. I followed Draymond Green through most of his college career. I've always liked Michigan State's basketball team. I definitely have to go out there tomorrow and start driving more. We run the read and react offense so I get a lot of mismatches with speed. I should get plenty of dunks this year.

I know a fella by the name of Earvin that used to pass it a bit. For a 6'-8".....6'-9" fella, he wasnt too bad at it.

I saw that team play Lamar in the first round of the NCAA tournament. They played right before the Tennessee vs Notre Dame game. I never seen anything like that in my life! He was unreal.

They played 2-3 zone the whole game. Two white boys out front who could shoot the lights out. Three black guys across the back who were all 6' 8" or so. I bet they had 8-10 running dunks that game. Back in those days, you only saw about one dunk a game and that was from a big stiff guy standing under the basket.

Quite a show!!! Earvin Johnson

I loved those times in basketball. I seem to remember this gawky kid from Indiana that was pretty decent.

yeah, that hick from French Lick turned out to be a baller!!


I grew up watching Earv, from the playground to LA. It was a lot of fun. The Everett High School teams that he was on were something special.

He went to school with my older brother. and a friend of mine had a sister that was a cheerleader at the HS. So when we would sit and watch the fellas play pickup ball in the summer they would always put us in at the end and let us play ball with them. Freaking incredible.

damn, sorry Kat....got into another story again. :dance2:

I had season tickets back then. Saw every home game in the Earv era. Incredible stuff.

Brkovich and Donnelly could shoot the lights out. Somehow they would always end up in the corner, waiting for a pass and BOOM, 2pts. (shame they didnt have a 3pt line back then)

Kelser, Earv, and Jay Vincent. dang. And then you bring Ron Charles off the bench, who in 1980 set the school record going 15 for 15 in a game....ALL DUNKS!!

It was a heck of a show.

We were running half court yesterday and our best defender was on me. I made a cut to the basket and he slipped under the goal. I popped out in the corner for a 3 and was wide open. I held the ball and let him get up and get in my face just so I could hit it in his eye. Haha. Probably not a good thing for the coach to see, but it made me feel good.

You're right. When he was in the air you should have attacked the rim or looked for someone cutting to the basket

I probably should have drove when I got him in the air because there was nobody under the goal and I could have dunked, but I hit it so it's all good.

There's no probably. If u wanna play in college, as a pg, you gotta make right decisions. A miss like that in a game could lead to a 4 or 5 point swing.

Or, he shouldnt jack around waiting to show someone up, and just pop that 3 from the corner when he had the chance.

Because hitting the 3.....is 3pts.

Not something I would do in a game. I just needed something to go right since I was having a terrible practice.
