Why in the Hell did they trade Richmond away? I'll never know. Unless someone can tell me. I'll answer my own question. I did an internet search. On the first day of the regular season, Run TMC was broken up when the Warriors traded Mitch Richmond to the Sacramento Kings for 6-foot-9-inch (2.06 m) rookie Billy Owens, whose additional height compared to Richmond was the size that head coach Don Nelson believed would complete the team.[2][3][4] Nelson said he "was under pressure to get [the team] bigger" to improve the Warriors from a good team to a great one.[5] "I’d never make that trade again", Nelson lamented.
The Warriors went 55-27 right after the Richmond trade, far better than any Run TMC season. But obviously it didn't last. Owens had superstar possibilities. A little like Magic Johnson potentially, with great college rebounding numbers, addressing a Warriors size issue. Also Sarunas M. could play Richmond's position very well. Perhaps Owens didn't have drive in the long run, or true 6'9" length. Also, I think Nelly "altered his mind" a lot.
I was a huge fan at the time and now. It was all about getting bigger. They felt they felt this was a mix of getting a similar level player plus size. He was hyped as a 6'9" point guard like Magic. He was decent for a bit. Bad trade like many those days...and pick and usually for big players.
Great stuff. When you got Mullin, Hardaway and Richmond on your team, you know the offense is going to be crazy.
You know the video is great when the very first thing you see is the killer cross over!
I was at this game. This is when Mitch Richmond became my favorite player and I became a Warriors fan. The Sixers stink!!! LOL
Look at this handchecking and physicality
this is the equivalent of if you managed to get Durant, Harden, Westbrook on the same team in today’s game. just imagine
damn jim barnett still sounds exactly the same
Dat kid Mully was deadly with Dat lefty shot 😎🤙
Only true Warriors fans know who run TMC is, if you ask any warriors fan now who run TMC was I bet you they won't know
That's just a stupid staement
