Remember the 1994 Nuggets upsetting the SuperSonics? Now the Nuggets are about to do something even more exciting nearly 30 years later.
That Sonics vs Rockets 94 matchup would have been delicious.Remember the 1994 Nuggets upsetting the SuperSonics? Now the Nuggets are about to do something even more exciting nearly 30 years later.
LOL I don't remember this one. Regular season game apparently.
That “Ehlo & Lenny era” Hawks jersey is hands down a top 3 favorite of mine. I was very fortunate enough to acquire a Danny Manning game used one years ago—which was a white whale for me, cause my favorite trade of all time was when Dominique got traded to the Clippers for Manning at the ‘94 deadline…LOL I don't remember this one. Regular season game apparently.
The first big entanglement I remember seeing was this one with Grant Long in the 1994 playoffs:
Lol that era brings back lots of mixed response for me. The first three games I saw in person were in 1993 with Dominique still there. There was a preseason game in 1993 in Nashville (my family lived in TN at the time) vs. the Spurs (saw David Robinson and Demolition Man era Rodman there; dude in the crowd in front of us kept heckling Rodman and calling him a "bozo"), and then back to back early regular season games vs. the Sixers (got to see huge Shawn Bradley and old Moses Malone) and Bullets (we were huge Rex Chapman fans). Brent Price, though he was a Bullet, autographed my Atlanta Hawks pennant, lol. And I remember Dominique throwing down a huge windmill in one of those games.

I’m gonna get my paws on a Nique Clippers jersey one day cause I vividly remember my mind being blown seeing Dominque Wilkins as a Los Angeles Clipper…
some legit tough guys on that floor. In the "what could have been" - how good would Danny Manning have been had he stayed healthy?LOL I don't remember this one. Regular season game apparently.

Got to see him play live in MN when visiting relatives there late in 2004. It was the season after his MVP performance, and he was still near peak. Of all the games I went to in person, his performance was the best I remember -- he impacted practically every play on both offense and defense. He could do absolutely everything except shoot the 3 ball, which of course wasn't as big a priority in those days -- great at ballhandling, steals, blocks, boards, could defend 1-5, and could score from everywhere inside the 3 point line. He definitely earned his nickname "The Big Ticket." Very glad to have had the opportunity to see him play live back then.
