His name will always be synonymous with basketball. Not sure anyone was more successful as a player and executive. Quote

Cazzie22 Posted June 13 Report Posted June 13 Jerry West was my idol growing up in small town Nebraska. I tried to emulate his jump shot and everything about his game. #44 was the jersey I wanted to wear but our uniforms were sized by number so my second choice, #22 honored Elgin Baylor. I was crushed by all the Finals defeats at the hands of the Celtics. The Lakers never had the big man to battle Bill Russell until Wilt. He was the epitome of a humble superstar. I haven’t been a Lakers fan since he was unceremoniously released. Zeke from Cabin Creek was the Los Angeles Lakers. RIP. Handy Johnson 1 Quote

He was the Number 1 pick by the Mpls Lakers who’s Home games bounced between the City Auditorium & the Armory so they packed up & moved to Los Angeles. Cazzie22 1 Quote

LincecumFan Posted June 19 Report Posted June 19 Willie Mays was my all-time favorite athlete and sports person. As when my folks passed away, the World will never feel the same. Cazzie22 and BigTate 2 Quote
Huskerpapa Posted June 19 Report Posted June 19 Man, he lived a long life; but this was a tough one today. I was such a fan of his all-around skills. Rest in peace Willie! You brought a lot of joy to the baseball masses. Find a game of stick ball in heaven! LincecumFan, Cazzie22 and BigTate 3 Quote
AuroranHusker Posted June 20 Report Posted June 20 Mays was a 24-time All-Star. And the definition of a five-tool player. Incredible amount of talent and toughness. Quote
BigTate Posted June 20 Report Posted June 20 (edited) Donald Sutherland Passed today at the age of 88. Great actor! Some of my favorite DS movies. Animal House, MASH, Invasion Of The Body Snatchers, The Dirty Dozen, and Kelly's heroes... Edited June 20 by BigTate Cazzie22, jimmykc and Handy Johnson 1 2 Quote
Handy Johnson Posted June 21 Report Posted June 21 Mays played with the Minneapolis Millers in 1951 before he was called up by the Giants. They would often have Day/Night Double Headers with the St Paul Saints each Team hosting a game. Fans would often times ride the Street Cars between the two cities.

Dead Dog Alley Posted June 21 Report Posted June 21 11 minutes ago, BigTate said: He's not dead? I was referring to the movies that featured both Donald Sutherland and Kevin Bacon; being Animal House and JFK. Which is quite possibly the oddest pairing of movies ever. BigTate 1 Quote

I read yesterday Sutherland took the minimum 35,000 dollars for that “Animal House” cameo when a profit sharing agreement would have netted him 2 million. Quote
