I see a little clip here of his going between his legs against Bird or another clip and he has hair...but it seems like everything else comes AFTER he became a household name. I like to see games like this because you feel like you were there to see something special....live and not on replays.

"For us to become one of the powerhouses, which we've been preaching, we've got to go out there and walk the walk."</div> Read More...
