I used to love watching those nets teams play. Back then we didn't have msg so they were the only team I was able to watch all of their games. DC was my favorite player and they had Chuck Daly as the coach.

They had a good young core and were on the come up and when Drazen died it pretty much ended it. It's a shame because he was getting better every year, I think he even made the all star team his last year

His jumper was just

Damn i'm getting old. Shout out to Drazen who was on his way to yearly All-NBA status. If he would have lived he would be on that list of greatest shooters ever. I hate that he died and that Nets team fell apart. Also cant forget about Bobby Phils Malik Sealy and Reggie Lewis. All very good players who died while in their prime years.

I remember this game.
