Short shorts short hits

They go 'ooh' and 'ah' when I jump in my car,
people treat me like Kareem Abdul Jabar...

The SG joins the chorus of everyone in the world reminiscing about the good ol days of Celtics v Lakers, this time as it pertained with the Denver Nuggets. Not the Powder Blue Patrol of today, but the Crayola Warriors of the 80’s, complete with the Denver skyine logo that basically looked like Tetris gone wrong.

Calvin Natt absolutely physically abused Larry Bird in the matchups, Natt was a beast with a Rick Ross neck beard 20 years ago…Michael Adams single-handily won a game at the Garden in the late 80s, handcuffing the Celtics’ guards and racking up the steals…Alex English breaking his hand in Game Four of the Western Conference Finals in 1984, ending any chance the Nugs had of winning…Bill Hanzlik was under Kareem’s skin in the mid-80s, more so than any player not named Ralph Sampson…Air Blair Rasmussen fell for Kareem’s sky hook fakes EVERY time…My man Fresh Marcus, Nuggets ball boy in those days, with his collection of sneakers from damn near every player, except Kareem, who would throw his shoes away in a dumpster after every game…The old McNichols Arena had two “pop the top” neon ads for Miller Beer on concourse, and they would always “pop” during LAL or BOS games, a young Commish was seen underneath them, trying to catch the fake beer in his mouth…Fat Lever damn well was a more complete point guard than Magic, but never got his national run…Wayne Cooper versus Robert Parrish…1988 Denver Nuggets, who lost Jay Vincent in the semis versus the Mavericks looked poised to take the Lakers in the WC Finals until the injury…Contrasting styles: Pat Riley/KC Jones looking East Coast and LA Suave in finely tailored suits and crisp hair, and Doug Moe, dripping with sweat , tie off, hair muffled in a JC Penny pair of slacks…Craziest hair? TR Dunn’s curl? Kurt Rambis’ floppy mop? Kevin McHale’s same ‘do he rocks today? …Magic’s knee pads, Rambis’ Hanson brothers glasses, Allan Bristow’s clipboard, Chopper Travilingi’s sweater vest…
