    The move at 0:42 looks familiar, yes?

    Love the highlights of Sheed! He was such a tremendous player when he wanted to be...

    I think a lot of people forget how good Sheed's post game was. He had the post-up bankshot down before Duncan.

    Personally I think Bosh will be back eventually. I don't know about this season but as Wade gets older I'll expect him to take on some extra possessions. Heck, Lamar Odom had a resurgence late into his career and I expect Chris to get more attempts as the years go by.

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    Rasheed Wallace was awesome to watch play when he was young-prime. He had a very complete game. He wasn't talented enough to dominate offensively all the time, but when he was on, he was unstoppable.

    Plus he was a great defender.

    I agree he was quite fun to watch.

    Aldridge is cool too. :)

    Loved me some Sheed! LA has surpassed him in my opinion.

    Wish the moves at 2:10 and 2:50 looked more familiar but you can't have everything.
