For me the current-day Dennis Rodman is almost unrecognisable, even if he's hidden by those large sunglasses. Out of shape, face looks weird. Well he always looked weird, but he was a good-looking guy.
Jordan still looks like Jordan, just with a slight beergut. Scottie Pippen looks much the same.
I liked seeing the Pistons again, Bill Laimbeer, Rick Mahorn. They were horrible. Also that classic Celtics team - Bird, McHale, Parrish. They were great. God McHale looked like Lurch.
I also didn't realise Jordan was such a prick, driven to succeed and all that, but still a prick. For me he's still the greatest ever, I don't care how many championships/points or whatever LeBron gets.
Agree with all of that. Jordan is clearly the greatest. I'm a big Celtics fan and yes that classic 80s Celtic team was sensational.
IMO Larry Bird is next best after Jordan. I acknowledge the complete bias in that statement but don't give a *smile*
Lebron pffffffffffffffffffttttttttttttt!!! Especially now he's at the LA Magpies er I mean Lakers.

Yeah Bird was awesome too.
Some people burn the candle at both ends, Rodman doused it in jet fuel and blasted it out of a cannon.
Everyone say Jordan comes off badly. I don't reckon. Clearly the GOAT.
Listened to a podcast with Eddie Vedder who talks about his friendship with Rodman in the mid-nineties (Vedder loved all the Chicago teams). Vedder obviously no shrinking violet but in summary he had trouble going at Rodman's pace when out on the town. He did say, which is born out in the series, that Rodman was a very dedicated athlete and trained extremely hard; and was quite possibly the first NBA player to study tapes endlessly of his opponents and teammates in order to predict where the rebounds would land.
On Jordan, i'm with Spook. Reckon he comes off far better than the publicity indicated he would. Can't really fault him and he gives generously in the recent interviews.
If you don't splash the cash in soccer you don't stay at the top anymore period and Sunderland had owners who refused to spend the money required resulting in an instant free fall from the Premier League straight thru the Championship down into League 1 or the old 3rd div..
The continued sell off of any player worth any amount and replacement via free loans etc only exacerbated the pace of their fall.
Sunderland is also as far from London as a Premier English club can get so that has not helped them attract quality Internationals.
It has unfortunately in the modern era helped them attract plenty of overrated mercenaries who've been well overpaid and who've then given them nothing in return.
Without the big big cash of the other clubs the likes of Sunderland and their rival Newcastle who are both big bloody Football clubs and fellow North Easters in Middlesborough are struggling to maintain relevance these days as they cannot attract the talent even smaller London based clubs can because they are in London.
Sunderland is a great UK Footy Club hopefully they will find a wealthy owner who will help them back to the top flight and allow their rusted on die hard fanatics to enjoy some level of success again.
Very pre 2017 Richmondesque in their ability to continually break the hearts of their fans and find new more outrageous ways to bottle a situation time and again the old Black Cats.
Saudi Arabia Inc just bought Newcastle. Expect them to become relevant again very soon.
yeah 48 hours in vegas riding a harley with Carmen Electra on your... arm... not much sleep I reckon.
If anything I've got more respect for Jordan now - one of those guys with an iron will that just didn't know when to stop and expected the best out of everyone else. And all the times he got beaten and said "ok, watch what I do to that guy tomorrow night" and went out and scored 50 points. And all those clutch shots on the buzzer.
We'll never see his like again.
Been watching, and enjoying, its been a good couple of months for music doco series on SBS, following Country Music.
Before I look for it, please tell me it's about Anti-Nowhere League type punk and not Green Day "punk"
Mondays 8:30, SBS. So far covered Ramomes, the Damned, Sex Pistols. Mostly the 70's stuff so far. Good interviews snippets with John Lydon, Legs McNeil, Viv Albertine from the Slits, and Dave Vanian. Worth a look. Probably available on demand as well.
