You was just DE'ing for daps

This.

I only saw Kobe play live once in his prime (05-06 season). Damn near the entire arena was in Kobe jerseys despite it being a road game for the Lakers. shyt was crazy. I felt like I was part of some collective religous experience.

That's how Lakers games would be bro...even during the down yrs

Can't forget about white chocolate. Easily the most exciting white player of all-time. Only cac whose moves I've ever wanted to emulate on the court.

I did the White Choc on GP crossover in a game of 21 yest

Iverson
Aint been the same since he left...

Jordan and Kobe for sure, last 10 years Curry also up there

Shout-out to Erving as well:

 

[Johnny Kilroy]

Bron game ain't easy to look at, so I don't see the hype with him

The early 2000s wing players were made to entertain too...T-Mac, AI, Hibachi, Vince

This is such a lie. People don't beg you to do dunk contests if your game has no aesthetics.

jeremy lin

during his little run with the Knicks he had arenas buzzing to see what he'd do next..good answer

 

[NSSVO]

Mike, Rose, Chef, Kobe, and VC right?

 

[MoneyTron]

I can't speak on the previous era but in mine:

Prime AI
Kobe


Bron
Shaq

Prime AI in Atlanta was a fukking zoo. Traffic downtown would be at a standstill if he was in town.

Kobe post-Shaq was also at the top but that's a given. I went to this game and it was just as ridiculous as it sounded. You knew you were going to see something stupid no matter how good or bad his injuries/shooting/team/etc were.

 

[Box Factory]

Yao generated huge buzz and when he started cooking in his rookie year he became a must see attraction

Those first Shaq Yao games were marketed like heavyweight boxing matches


There's a great documentary about his rookie year called year of the yao. Id highly recommend it

 

[Jesus Is Lord]

Once Kobe got MVP chants in Boston, not during his retirement tour, I knew he was the most popular besides Mike. Kobe’s arena buzz in 2006- 2016 around the NBA were

Iverson should be mentioned in every take.

You would think these goofballs who talk so much about watching the game would have remembered the event of seeing Iverson and the 76ers play.
