Playing with a wasted back, Larry was absolute butter out there, dishing out 14 assists in his first start in a couple of months.  The elderly Big 3 and a budding Super Star Reggie Lewis took Game 6 against the Cavs, then went on to lose in Cleveland.  That Cavs team would have crushed any of Bronnie's best.

Really amazing to see the chemistry that existed with the Big 3 even in their last gasp.

TP, Redz.   Brought a tear to my eye, too....and a smile to my face.  Thank you.
Yesterday is history.
Tomorrow is a mystery.
Today is a gift...
   That is why it is called the present.

I remember it well (TP) ... Larry gave his all, 110%, even with his back problems. I remember how we'd cringe every time he'd dive to the floor for a loose ball, or go flying out-of-bounds ... awesome stuff, and those were exciting times. Believe it or not, I actually miss the 80's. ;)

Thanks and a tp for you.
I believe Gandhi is the only person who knew about real democracy — not democracy as the right to go and buy what you want, but democracy as the responsibility to be accountable to everyone around you. Democracy begins with freedom from hunger, freedom from unemployment, freedom from fear, and freedom from hatred.
