    Ive been to all 3 places and the Utah ones I dunno it feels like “Utah” to me, like at least the colors and graphics feel like a good representation of the State.

    I think of Wisconsin as more of a "cheesy" state.

    Man Vucevic is an all star..... Nobody would trade Nurk for him right ?

    No. Nurk would be an all-star if he played for the Magic.

    Vucevic is also older, expiring, and will get paid $20M+, and isnt as good of a fit as Nurk.

    I wonder if Vucevic's breakout this season is why they're making Bamba available in trade; like they're planning on keeping Vooch long-term. Maybe they're hoping to make a splash, convert some of their young potential into an established player that could complement their core. Like CJ, for example?

    CJ for Bamba would be a bad move for us. That's probably who theyd ask for though.

    Dwade was one of my favorite players back in the day, but I don't like this at all...

    The Jazz uniforms were made out of old Houston Astro uniforms.

    I wonder what they did with the old early 80's White Sox uniforms that were just as bad.

    .... And I wonder what happened to Lamar Hoyt, the CY Young winning pitcher too. He got kicked out of the league cause he couldn't stay off the
    cocaína.

    For real? I've never seen that mentioned before. That would dramatically change the significance of early all-star nods.

    I am pretty sure. I can't find anything that says that but I remember either Petrie or Wicks making it every year until the leaugue expanded with the addition of some of the ABA teams. If you look at the box scores from that era, there is a reserve from every team in the league

    I feel for the guy.

    Of course the asshole Warriors chime in.

    If that was the case, it ceased to be by 1976, because the Blazers had no ASG representative that season.

    Regardless, there were 14-man all-star squads in the early 70's, with only 17 teams in the league, so it was definitely a lot easier to be an all-star then than it is now.

    Exactly. 1976 was the year the league expanded with the ABA teams.

    And Dame as usual is the classy one. Retweeting his former coach.
