Did anyone watch the ceremony from last night? I had it on DVR so I missed Rodman entirely.
To steal a phrase from Bill Simmons, the unintentional comedy from last night was off the charts, as long as you had a fast forward option.
Tex Winter's son, while out of his element, must have gone on for at least 15 minutes, about 14 and a half minutes too long. Seeing the expression on the faces of the crowd, Phil Jackson and even Tex himself was pretty hilarious. Tex, in whatever state he was in, was still more aware than his son that it went on about 10 minutes too long.
The one guy I actually wanted to hear from, Arvydis Sabonis, in his Ivan Drago voice, only lasted about 30 seconds. I wish he was more comfortable with his English because I would have liked to hear more from him. He seems like a good guy.
Mullin was good but he's been in the public frequently since his retirement so it wasn't a big deal.
Hopefully I catch some of Rodman's speech before they stop the replays.
Can anyone provide insight into Artis Gilmore's game? I only saw the Rigor Artis part of his career. Was more David Robinson, Mutombo or Chief? It seems like he could get up pretty high and was somewhat jacked. He looked a little like the admiral. Was his mobility more like Dikembe?
