I know. These cats about the pussy. You put porn inside niggas be busting that enter button all day. But WORD. Thats news to me. Good looking on the info. Would of probably never knew.
 
This is a sad day for the Celtics nation. I still can't belive it. LB will always get credit for the steal but the lay up was just as difficult. LB always said that DJ was the best player that he ever played with and Magic said that DJ played the toughest defense on him.

"Now there's a steal by Bird! Underneath to DJ! He lays it up and in!! ... What a play by Bird! Bird stole the inbounding pass, laid it up to DJ, and DJ laid it up and in, and Boston has a one-point lead with one second left! OH, MY, THIS PLACE IS GOING CRAZY!!!"

who says no love?

dennis johnson was not a good player. dennis johnson was a GREAT player. an INCREDIBLE PG and a WINNER.

went to the playoffs EVERY season he started.

turned the supersonics from a 40 game winner to the NBA FINALS his FIRST year as a starter.

lead the supersonics to a NBA championship his SECOND year as a starter.

won the NBA FINALS MVP his SECOND year as a starter.

as a div 1 college player, took the pepperdine waves to the tournament (and advanced) IN HIS ONLY DIV 1 SEASON.
 
Re: Dennis Johnson

RIP.. as a long time Pistons fan... he nearly gave me a heart attack after Bird stole that inbound pass and he hit that layup.. literally.. as a kid..i grabbed my chest and collapsed.
 
Re: Dennis Johnson

DJ. Always high on my list.

Condolences to his friends and family.
 
listening to these 2 dumb ass bastards on ABC (both of them) citing larry bird's quote of dennis johnson being "the best teammate he ever had".

why do they feel compelled to add that bullshit remark? as if larry bird's comment somehow validates dennis johnson's career. :angry:

dennis johnson was a juco champion, lead the waves to the ncaa tournament, lead the supersonics to the NBA finals twice consecutively in his first 2 years as a starter, and was an NBA FINALS MVP before he joined the boston celtics.

:smh:
 
as most people know by now, dennis johnson was denied entrance into the hall of fame again this year.

as most people know by now, former boston celtic teammate was inducted into the hall of fame in 1993. in 10 seasons, bill walton played in LESS THAN the equivalent of 6 full regular seasons. bill walton ROBBED the san diego clippers, sand bagging his way through his 5 year contract, injured for more than 3 full seasons worth of games.

can ANYONE offer a basketball related explanation as to just how in the hell that happens?

:confused:
