I looked at this picture and actually knew his first name was Jeff before scrolling to look.
Could just be a 90's white guy thing, though.
I'll be damned - Jeff Ruland was an all-star in 1982-83 and average 22 a game the following season. Bill Walton feet doomed him. Perhaps @RaceBannon can expound upon the unrealized potential of Jeff Ruland.
The pride of Iona
When the NBA wanted big men there were not enough to go around so big white guys could get work
Like Jim McIlvaine - Wally Walker fucking stupid
RIP to The Wizard
Terry Dehere
Didn’t even recognize Dan Issel next to Gilmore. Can’t miss Artis, couple interesting coaching names with Brown and former college/pro coach Stan Albeck. - died in 2021 at 89
When the Knicks didn’t make the playoffs he worked in the broadcast and was immediately hired for the nba once fired in NYC. Younger folks will remember him more as a commentator than an actual HC like Madden in 🏈. Believe Brown might be alive, probably not broadcasting although I haven’t watched anything but Bron and Steph during the playoffs the past decade+
He’s 91 and still alive & born in 1933, his folks probably heard our Boys in the boat beat Hitler on a radio broadcast. @YellowSnow
Walt Williams
Calabro called him "The Wizard."
Popeye was one ugly dude.
It was ironic that Draymond was talking about the NBA being boring when his team is the one who started the trend that made it boring, but he's still right.
The Throbber had a Jerry West poster on his wall all the way through college.
Oh my God I remember those cards.
This is a terrible CSB, but during that series I thought the Washington Bullets were in Tacoma for some reason
Fuck me. Dr J turns 75 today.
Enumclaw’s own
When I was a wee lad in Everett just learning about sports, I thought the Washington Redskins were also located in the Seattle area along with the Seahawks.
Was very disappointed finding out the truth.
Fuck me. Pat Riley is 80 years old as of yesterday.
This is what every one of my friend’s dads looked like in 1989.
Mad Max.
Motherfucker is cray cray on the most recent All The Smoke pod. Holy shit.
Too soon?
