Golden State going for 73-9 or Kobe's last game?

Which are you watching?

I'm going with neither! Blackhawks!! But probably going to be flipping back in forth between the Hawks and GS game. I really don't want the GS to break the Bulls record (probably going to happen...). 1995-1996 Bulls >>>>>>>>>>>>> 2015-2016 Golden State.

As for Kobe... I could careless. This farewell tour is so over blown. Was he a great player? Yes. Is he in my Top 10 player of all time? Probably not. He was a massive star who scored a ton of buckets, good defender, and crazy competitor, but to be honest he wasn't the best player on his team for the first 3 championships. I don't dislike Kobe but people talk about him lately like he was MJ (which he wasn't). If you actually take a deep dive into basketball analytics, he wasn't a very efficient player in terms of all-time great players go.

Wrong thread police

I don't get any of those channels on my antenna, it will be a cold day in a hot place before I pay for TV! I will find the Hawks game on the radio or just the Cubs.

Ditto 2014. My wife won at a leukemia benefit, an autographed basketball by that '95/96 team that MaryAnn Childers gave her. It has everyone on it including Phil Jackson. I haven't had it authenticated because I have no intention of selling it....yet but I figured if GS breaks their record, it diminishes it's value a little bit. Someone actually offered me a grand for it but I couldn't take it. Again, those were special times and special memories. I think that Bulls team would annihilate the Warriors but history is what history says.

Selfish I know but that team was truly great and I know the Warriors are great in their own right just not in the area of that Bulls teams greatness.

That's smart...if it's actually signed by that whole team that ball is worth a lot more then a grand.

M, it is. It has Jud Beuchler on it for crying out loud!!!! From what I remember it has Jordan, Jackson, Pippen, Rodman, Cartwright, BJ Armstrong, Randy Brown, Jud Buechler, Ron Harper, Steve Kerr, Jack Haley, Luc Longley, Toni Kukoc and Bill Wennington. I went and grabbed it out of storage in my basement. Ironically, Steve Kerr is on that team and the coach of Golden State.

I know of a connection your daughter might have to get Levingston to sign that ball after the fact. :-)
