Translated: he went home one time to relax instead of going to a team dinner, so he's now a loner weirdo. Also known as Kobe Bryant Syndrome.

The Wilt Chamberlain Archive has been putting up some great highlights from classic games recently, with separate videos for each player.

1969 All-Star Game: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=playlist
1963 Finals Game 6: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=playlist

Russell would have nearly had a quadruple double in the Finals game if stats were counted like they were today, but I think I was more impressed by the handles of Jerry West.

Is he tho? I don't know. He maaaaaaybe (based on TMZ level reporting) doesn't have alot of close relationships among his athlete peers, but he's now older than most of them, and was raised in a different country. He doesn't have alot in common with them on a personal level. If the criteria for being a loner weirdo is "not wanting to hang out at a bar with Nick Young" then I guess he's a loner :shrug:. All this athlete personal lives stuff is just narrative-based story writing, and probably has little basis in reality.

When the Lakers would go eat a team meal, Kobe, more often than not, would separate from the group and go eat at a table by himself.

Steve Alford is a way bigger shithead.

Also people aren't hating on UCLA because they're popular, but because they probably shouldn't have been in and then got super lucky when they got matched with an overseeded SMU and ISU got bounced early.

Nash retiring is kind of a bummer, even though he's done. Those Suns teams were insanely fun. It kind of sucks that the thing most people took from them is that they couldn't win a title; they've been insanely influential including on title teams since their great run ended.

Oh I absolutely agree that UCLA didn't belong there and are there for Non-Basketball Reasons. Which makes them mostly bullshitting a win past a bunch of "play the right way work hard study just happy to play basketball love America" Larry Brown kids all the better. Like it's the highest level of gently caress you possible to him.

I feel like since Alford contains his bullshit to college and doesn't take it to the pros and olympics and the entire Earth with his international clinics and poo poo he's a much bigger historical scourge to basketball.

Now that the Pistons have basically no chance to get a playoff spot its also time to gently caress up a shot at a top 5 pick and get a really bad SF at #9.

What made the Suns offense great or different wasn't the pace, but the use of drag screens on the break. I can't remember anyone using them much in the pre DAntoni era, now of course everyone does.

I feel like the whole "take a shot within 7 seconds" was definitely new and hyped up. And it was much faster compared to the Spurs, Detroit, etc.
But yeah, they were dedicated to flowing right into a screen and roll if they couldn't get an early dunk. Which also fit their personnel very well.
