Kgs handle at that size was ridiculous. And underrated vision
The good thing about that era of power forwards, They all had different styles of play & they all competed against each other
Look at the score. Ultra competitive & intensity. Glad to be born in 82.
I love the “good hard nba foul” toward the end of the clip 😂😂 it was a regular foul too .. good ole days 😂
How can people say Europeans are soft. Dirk was physical af look at how much he fights for position then used finesse to finish
They were looked as soft players. That's until Dirk came. Nobody considers them soft now. All you have to do is look at Jokic's arm when he plays.
KG should of gone to the Celtics earlier. Even he said he wished that.
Thank you for sharing this Amazing video man. I like watching NBA games in the early 90's and 2000's
