When did that happen? I think we can all remember the glory days of pro basketball from our childhood years, did Michael Jordan and the Bulls really stir up THAT much hype? Apparently so because I don't really know much of anyone that follows a pro team these days. Sure when The Finals hit, a few fans creep out of the woodwork but the majority of the NBA's fan base from my childhood is gone.
I think I have 2 options......
1) New Orleans Hornets
Honestly not too psyched about them and their 7-11 record, even less excited about their name change and move because it was the Charlotte Hornets that got me hooked as a child. That's right while all the hype was on the Bulls this kid was all about the Hornets. You ask yourself "was it the team colors that she liked?" and to that I'd agree but the true reason I loved those boys was this kid right here Muggsy Bogues. He towered over the other players on the court at a staggering 5'3", that's right 5'3". For reference here he is with past teammate Manute Bol 7'7".
I'd also like to add that I was the proud owner of this beauty..... it's ok to be jealous. Do you all remember how insane these coats were? I mean EVERYONE had one, and EVERYONE had the 1/2 zip pull-over version. I still remember going with my mom to Sac City (yes that's a real town with a liquor store called none other that Sac Liquor) to pick mine out, I'm also pretty sure I have a sweet pict of me pulling it out of the box on Christmas morning.
2) Utah Jazz
These boys are sporting a better record of 10-7. I followed them strongly throughout high school mainly because of Jeff Hornacek .... well and Karl Malone. Jeff was an ISU grad so that's pretty much the only reason I thought he was cool but when it comes to Karl Malone I really hope that you loved him for this reason as much as I did and that was The Man Show.
