I was just thinking about my Hornets outfit that I had back in 1992. Larry Johnson and Alonso Mourning were mad hyped to be the next big thing (along with Shaq) I had Johnson's rookie card as well. The NBA and Jordan Brand, which went global with the Dream Team was off the hook that year!
Speaking so much truth. Boomers. They got to have childhoods in 50s and enjoy young adulthood in the 80s. Both decades enjoyed economic explosion. There’s no excuse for boomers to not be wealthy right now. With the cheap real estate they could’ve invested in is yet another reason as you mentioned. With there not being a huge income gap and wages actually increased to offset inflation and cost of living. My dad is also a boomer.
Hell yeah, Hornets were dope back in those days. New team, cool colors/uniforms and a fun *** squad to watch play (LJ, Zo, Curry, Muggsy, Gill, etc.). I used to go to games at the Hive and it would be crazy pumped up in there.I was just thinking about my Hornets outfit that I had back in 1992.

I lived in Celtics territory as well
It was a monumental moment in Celtics history as the last remnants of the mighty 1986 team were finally done for. It was also the Celtics first season without Bird
What are those?Lol
That was me in the 80s.
Shape is low key better than modern retros.Lol
We called those “Air Jordaches” back in the day, Jordache was one of many brands making shoes that had borrowed design cues from some of the bigger sneaker companies.
Oh **** for sure your not wrong on that. Wtf changed so much that shoes are so blocky nowadays? Super wierd they changed.
LJ was the truth before his back gave out on him. I still believe his '90-'91 rebels squad (yes, the one that lost to duke...they beat that same team by 30 in the national championship the year before) is the best college team I've ever seen.I was just thinking about my Hornets outfit that I had back in 1992.

The UNLV Rebels were MASSIVE and introduced so many people to college basketball. They were also more hip and appeared to be anti-establishment, as actual rebels, fighting against snooty Duke

Tribe Called Quest mentions them in their Footsteps song. Last spring I heard that song for the first time in 30 years
Your right, they were also more talented.
That Vegas team remains my all-time favorite college team. It was like the Fab 5 experience a couple years before the actual Fab 5. And the Fab 5 is my next favorite team, and I despise Michigan lol. But I didn’t care what uniform that team wore.The UNLV Rebels were MASSIVE and introduced so many people to college basketball.
