I thought it was cool that his Airness had Thompson introduce him into the Hall. On a similar note - Simmons' "Book of Basketball" is great for someone like me that knew about the origins of the NBA before I was born in '80, but didn't have it all in order. Good stuff!

He needed no Michael Jordan advantage to fly free. And my Footnote; David T. had the Cousy precision. He needed no Michael Jordan advantage to fly free.

Mahler. Once upon a time, the Nuggets had a player that could actually levitate. He could pretty much do anything in the air he wanted too. It was post Bob Cousy style, and just before just before the league started wearing the Michael Jordan glasses. What was that little shuffle of both feet before taking off with 1.5 steps toward the basket? Wait a minute, that was 1.75 to 2 steps, but oh what the heck, it is entertaining. And what is palming the ball or turning it over on the dribble? . . that is old fashioned. Can't let precision get in the way of good entertainment. Now admittedly, David T. had personal albatrosses above him, but for a while, he flew free above Denver. Josh,

I did refer to the Okla City basketball team as the Kevin Durants on purpose (I totally understand why my editor had to put Thunder in parantheses). I hate "Thunder" as a sports name (basically any singular name belongs in the WNBA. That's right Orlando and Miami, I'm talking to you!) and the whole situation with how they left Seattle was a mess so the Thunder just feel like a cursed team. Besides, most people have heard of Kevin Durant while I'm sure there are still people that have no idea that Okla City even has a basketball team yet. So why not just market your best assest? That said, that team will henceforth be known as the Oklahoma City Kevin Durants in this space (until Durant bolts in 2013).
