Just to raise awareness about basketball in Africa I think. Dikembe Mutombo and Hakeem Olajuwon checked in during the 2nd quarter too.Had no idea there was an Africa vs world game todaywhat was this about? Charity event?

i can totally agree with all of this. this makes sense. you have more insight on things you actually grew up watching season after season rather then watching replays and highlights.

Yeah I'm watching it now. Pretty cool event indeed. I see it has to do with the basketball without borders initiative and what not too.

YO!! Man I was PISSED when they canceled this event. I remember going to my boy's house (he had that illegal cable box) and we had this all planned out. Had our snacks, soda and ready to watch this joint. Then out of nowhere, it never showed and then we realized they canceled it. I remember there were supposed to be undercard matches too. I think something like Kenny Anderson Vs. Nick Van Exel or something and then those Taco Bell commercials to "promote" the event.

Taco Bell was all in with the commercials and promotion. Promotion back then was signs in the restaurant and putting a flyer in your bag.

Of course Kareem would do well. He had the 'sky hook'. Post his era, no one has had the 'sky hook'. NO ONE. Kobe's and LBJ's are just knock offs. [Kobe did learn his moves from the big guys though, which is why he waltzed on guys]. No big men "post' that era has had anything close. The same w/ the shake and pivots. No big men has the footwork. NO ONE.

I do. Looking back at it now, I pissed I almost cried when the Hulkster got ambushed by Big John Stud and King Kong Bundy.

The other cat was right. EVERYONE is an underachiever. Hindsight is 20/20.

Grant Hill's game was so smooth, man
Quick off the crossover, could finish with the left, solid mid range jumper, square form, good BBIQ
And this is on the pistons after the injury
More B role guards today should pattern their game off him
