I remember Zo's arms being raised while his teammates piled on him.

I remember Grandmama getting robbed due to the blindfold dunk. LJ did a 360 windmill and didn't win.

I remember Starks dunking over Jordan, Pippen, and Ho G.

I remember Jordan ABSOLUTELY refusing to lose. I think passion was his middle name.

I remember the high-top fades from the early 90's.

I remember when "Bulls Vs. Knicks, Live on NBC" got EVERYBODY excited.

I remember wondering how bad KMart would wreck the league, and still wondering what could have happened if he wouldn't have gotten hurt so much.

I remember Kenny Anderson crossin fools. He had sticky handles.

Re: I Remember When.......

I remember when Nick the Brick missed those four free throws in game one against the Rockets. That sucked, then it only got worse..

The Shaq and Penny show were great times for the Magic.

Being a Rockets fan I remember that day as well. I also remember Kenny Smith getting red hot draining 3, after 3, after 3.

I remember Hakeem the Dream schooling David Robinson in the Western Conference Finals of that year.

I remember Coach Rudy T. saying "Don't ever underestimate the heart of champion."

Re: I Remember When.......

Deke rolling around on the ground holding the basketball like a fullback.

Mars Blackmon, and the first time I saw Jordan kicks.

World B. Free's crazy jumper that was absolutely wet.

Those Rick Barry and Doctor J ads for dingo boots on the back of comic books.

Everyone had a copy of Come Fly With Me either in, or on top of their VCR.

Shawn Kemps funky layups and rebounds once he cashed in with the Cavs and stopped caring about winning.
