1980's NBA
The plethora of 80s NBA stars was something to behold.huskyhooligan said:80's
Mostly for the diverse stars and before Jordan seemed to overshadow everyone. Though the lions share of games I watched was in the 90's.
Boston
LA
Houston
Philadelphia
Detroit
Blazers
All contenders and some solid other teams as well.
We? really were blessed in Seattle. I believe the sonics were at least 500 or above and in playoff contention from like 88 to 03.

Young Throbber played hundreds of games of nerf hoop in his bedroom with Bob Blackburn providing play by play on the transistor.RaceBannon said:
I watched a little NBA when it was Russell v WiltFishpo31 said:I listened to Bob Blackburn on a little transistor radio beside my pillow to fall asleep. I became a huge Knicks fan (who?) with Willis Reed, Clyde Frazier, Pearl, Bradley and DeBusschere, with Phil Jackson off the bench
But 1967 I became a fan because of the Sonics. Also listened to Bob Blackburn. He taught Seattle the pro game
The 76 Warriors were the original great Bay Area champion. Walton in 77
I remember those Knick teams too. And the 72 Lakers finally getting a ring
For some reason I liked to pretend to be Dean Tolson.

Funny, more times than not forgot to give those tickets to customers.

I've been to 2 NBA games in my life in person. The first one was the San Diego Clippers vs the LA Lakers at the San Diego Sports Arena. That's 80s as fuck.PurpleThrobber said:

Probably could have hit 5 or 6 more during my travels this year but opted for hookers and blow instead.

1990's NBA90's NBA. Sonics, Bulls, Houston with Olijuawann, Utah Stockholm and Malone, Suns with Barkley and that dude that could shoot threes, Atlanta with Augment and Dominick Wilkerson, Pacers with Reggie, Magic with Baby Shaq, Kevin Garnet in Minnesota, Knicks with Ewing and Starks, Spurs with Robinson, the list goes on... I went to bed every night listening to Callabhoe, watched all the games I could. I haven't watched an NBA game in years

1970's NBAReading this thread spurred the memory of seeing a lot of Lakers games in the early 70’s, Friday nights on KSTW, IIRC (@Race may confirm/deny). Wilt, Elgin Baylor, The Logo, Happy Hairston, Gail Goodrich. Jerry West was a beast…
