MY MAN!!! This is an incredible lost obscure NBA upload! Can't thank you enough. Just finding Xavier McDaniel as a Sun is a unicorn scenario (I think he only played 65ish games in Phoenix. PLEASE PLEASE more like this of an NBA era that most consider the best.
Love these old NBA buildings, especially out west. Fans are right on top of you and the roof here looks like they're playing in a cafeteria. Great stuff! Unique sights and sounds the whole deal. Now everything is exactly the same no matter where you go, with a few exceptions.
I love the players from the 80's or 90's but only 10% of them would even make an NBA team today. For example Mike Gminski would never even have been drafted into the NBA today. Also Andre Turner basically lost this game for the 76ers.
It's all relative though, right? Sure, the G-man wouldn't have the foot speed of these bigger guys now, but it's hard to believe someone of his size, skill and intellect wouldn't find a place in the game now. Plus he'd develop more range just growing up in this time. Actually he might be one that would have more of a shot. A couple of guys I really liked from back in the day were Kevin Willis and Otis Thorpe. Those guys were both chiseled from a mountain, and while they looked the part they might struggle due to a lack of shooting. But again, that's in retrospect. If they were to play now they'd likely develop the skills that are now required in a power forward.

Surprised that Tom Chambers missed both of his free throws when he was a career 80% free throw shooter. In my next life I want to be Tom Chambers.
KJ!
Really interesting match.
