That's pretty incredible. Even the Yankees logo has changed (slightly).
I wish the Mariners had never changed their original logo/colors.
And yeah that mid-90s dip into maroon & forest green that the Sonics did ... Oh My God ... so, so, so bad.

Even when the Sonics went back to green and yellow during the Robert Swift era they still weren't right. They just needed to admit they were wrong and revert to 93/94.
Maybe they would have figured it out. The Jazz went back to the classic look, though a little less purple. The Hawks brought back pack man thing. The warriors got rid of that tool holding a lightning bolt.

Very true, it was not a successful return to form.
- Spoiler: show
- "Robert Swift Era"

Episode 3 brought back so many high school memories. My best friend and I captained our shitty basketball team. He was 5'7", overweight and idolized Rodman. I hated defense, loved contested threes and wore Reggie's 31. We got stomped almost every week. Glory days.

verb_to_trust wrote:They were lame. Asshole coach. Roster of white guys. Stockton was great obviously, but his game was boring, nothing exciting about the pnr with Malone. Jeff Hornacek-dork. And the Mailman, a choke artist who raped a baby into his 13 year old neighbor. The only guy on the team with any flair whatsoever was Russell, and he'll always be known exclusively for getting cooked repeatedly by the Goat.
Even their uniforms sucked by following the mid to late 90s trend of overloading, in their case, with mountain graphics (rockets, Sonics, Pistons, Warriors had similar logo changes that had zero staying power).
Thank you, next
You love Greg? Ostertag. He is one of the few guys that wouldn't let Shaq just push him around in there. I kinda liked Howard Eisley too.

I absolutely loved Reggie Miller and still do.
We didn’t have jersey #31 available in high school. If we did I would have worn it.

What, a guy sleeps with Sarah Palin and gets one all star game MVP and that makes him better than Mitch? Jordan said Mitch was his toughest matchup.

Just finished episode 4 and loved it. I knew about the Rodman Vegas vacation, but didn't know Jordan had to go and get him. The Phil Jackson focus was awesome and I loved Jordan's reaction to Thomas' bs about "that's just how things were done". It's so impressive that Jordan was not only the best player ever, he played the right way.
