    Similar to the celebrity game during all-star weekend. Not great basketball, but solid entertainment. Definitely qualifies as an off-season post.

    Lot's of Bill Walton antics in this one. Brent Barry playing his heart out. Gary Payton scoring a ton of points.






    Imagine if the NBA added an additional rim above the current one, and you had to shoot 3 pointers at that second rim... How many years until it would seem so natural that people wouldn't even think twice about how it looked or how the game was changed?

    Back when MTV actually had something on it you wanted to watch.

    I used to watch those and enjoyed them. They were way more entertaining than some of the all star weekend festivities nowadays

    I remember Cliff Robinson having some "good" games.

    He likely made sure that by game time, his opponents were even higher than he was.
