Can't say I am not disappointed for not being included on the 75th anniversary team after seeing the list. I felt the same after the first list of 50. I have always known that my understated style wasn't conducive to being associated with such a flamboyant sport

I want to be very clear. You are not a true fan of Kobe “Bean” Bryant if you are bashing Women’s Sports and not supporting. You can “mamba this” and “Kobe that” but if you are disrespecting something he truly loved and advocated for, consider yourself a fraud.

The Great Bill Russell has always been my basketball idol.
Not because he won 11 NBA championships and 5 MVPs.
It was mainly for his stand for civil rights and social justice.

Asked how he developed his game, DeMar DeRozan said he grew up watching VHS tapes of games from the 70s and 80s — including every All-Star Game from both decades. One player’s that stood out to him? Alex English.
