Yeah, less bull****, more game.

Def. more game.

James Worthy with his signature New Balance in that picture. And almost everyone's wearing medium/high socks. I think Worthy deserves a little fine...

[aloncho11]

how much would you have fined him for wearing shorter socks?

Well, I don't know...how much was he making back then? Ummm...maybe $10,000 would be a nice fine...?

Hmmmm, that's too much for the mid 80's and for socks I think But it is still a nice number ha.

But still, how dare he wear low socks? I mean, back then he probably couldn't get into clubs, wasn't invited to any parties and lost all his friends.

One player that it is probably hard to create is Vinnie Johnson. This guy could make nearly impossible shots - several in a row. Not athletic, can't really jump, only 6'2", not a sharp-shooter...yet he could score from anywhere against anyone.
I'm watching the 1991 playoffs (Pistons-Bulls, game 1) and Vinnie is making shot after shot - in impossible situations. No matter who guards him and how many guard him - he just keeps scoring. That's just unbelieveable! You can't ask for more from your bench players. That's just pure awesomeness!
