The NBA Era Gen Z Never Saw

Here comes Snow, with Iverson now picked up by Ryder. Look at the moves, the nimbleness across the lane. Oh! What a shot by Iverson! Oh, you gotta love that guy. He played 47 minutes in the high altitude of Denver last night. He doesn't look tired, hasn't come out of the game yet. Full of energy. Rodney Rogers, his pass is stolen away, and it's Williams again. Working on Chapman behind the back of beauty. Phenomenal pass to Webber. You're gonna see a sensational behind the back, natural pass. Foul pass. Chris Webber finishes. Early in this NBA season, he's getting his opportunities, making the most. Oh, it goes inside! It is just some! Gallagher gets a poster early in the year. The crowd oohing and aahing. Francis just throws it up. Oh, what an athletic play by Steve Francis. And he's technical for taunting. Oh, he liked that play so much, he started talking to the crowd, and he got teed up! See, that post-entry pass is just too soft and out of his wheelhouse. What a move. He's able to bail his teammate out there, but if you help him out and bring it quickly right into it. I hope that is not temporary. Here's Smith. He sets up the slam dunk. Oh, he's some kind of athlete. But this is Smith. Now this is the flagrant on the rim. Miller. Webber. The shot with two hands. It's a man! The chance to spot a high flying Garriott smile. Stays with it. The bell tolls. Big Ben, that was close. Gets it back. 17 seconds. Wade leaning in. Martin catches it in defensive stand. There you have it. Kenyon Martin just engulfed the rookie Dwayne Wade. Great anticipation. He didn't even need a glove. Picks it back to a result. Attacks the rim. Second block as a result. Height for three. Due to hit one. Terrible. Going to be a technical foul hanging in the rim. Eric Piekowski with a long pass off the rim right to Corey Maggette. Corey Maggette has to learn to let this one through. Can't do that. Corey Maggette is just playing. Sensational. Fans kind of like that one. Oh, that's those tickets, baby. They like that pass. That's really a setback. Second chance for the Grizzlies. Oh! Breaking out the Stroh show. He must be feeling it tonight. Large play of the game. Look at Josh Smith. His chin was on the rim, Smitty. And jams it through. The Hulk sign on his chest was in the rim. Wallace comes over. Pickett's going to deliver. Nine seconds left in the game. Wallace to work on foil. The double comes now. Back it out to Scottie. Now with four. With three. Wallace with two. He'll turn. Fire. Portland wins. Portland wins it. 113-111. Rasheed Wallace. We take a look at the final sequence. Richardson left Rasheed with one second left. Exactly. That's what I do. You want to make him a passer then? Because they wouldn't have time to shoot. Want another from Darrell Wallace? Yeah. That had to be a pass. That's how you block a shot. No, that wasn't a shot. Bobcats don't foul. Here's a breakaway for Iguodala. And he heads it through. The Iguodala. Andre Iguodala, but again, maybe a little premature celebration. Puts his head right on the rim. How about tonight with Chauncey? Why not? He's hit shot after shot this year. Another one. This checks the clock. Gilbert for the win. Agent zero checks the clock. Gilbert for the win. Got it. Winding down. Oh, wow. Comes flying in. And then the steal. Clips it up. Count it. And one. Reggie Miller-like eruption by Rondo. Huffing and stuffing. Gets the steal. And sweeps to the hoop to draw the foul. Left hand. Charlie Ward stepped in front of Martin. Ward off penetration. Can't be done. Puts the foul. Again, off-balance situation. This counter, extremely aggressive. The hard away inside. A flip back door. With John Marion. How about that touchdown? How about the highlight film? This is going to be an exciting basketball team. Now the pick and roll with Bosch. Webber tipped it away. Bosch forced to get it. Four to shoot. Bosch for three. Oh, my. I don't believe it went in. Five seconds. He picks it up. He's down to five seconds right here. C. Webb does a great job of challenging the shot. One second on the clock. You see what the excitement is about Jason Richardson. A crossover dribble. I haven't seen Quinn make that move all season long. Cliff Robinson's defense forced it. Oh, beautiful feed. Hit Jefferson. Wow. And four stars on that one. A select number of seats still available for the Heat. Jordan again. Now Michael has points here in the fourth quarter. Anthony dunks over Ratliff, and he's fouled. I deserve to be in the all-star game. Nice fake inside and a foul. The jump shot says, excuse me, I have a meeting with the ref. Went between Kamen's legs. No, he didn't. He did, too. No, he wouldn't do that. Bring out the replays whenever we get a chance. He went through Kamen's legs. No, he didn't. Ash just stayed with that play, didn't he? Oh, and stuck him right in the basket. Manning was there. Malone was there. And Michael Finley. You could see it coming. The crowd was on his feet before the dunk was made. Grant sizes up. Oh, and he pounds it down. Watch this wonderful move by Grant Hill. Boy, is that super or what? The referee. And then he looked at the defender and said, I'm going. And there he goes again. I mean, what a game he's had. A foul. It was a lot of contact. Parker. Here's Ginobili. Oh, my, what a play by Manner Ginobili. That was spectacular. Watch Ginobili. Gets hit by Miller. Watch the body control, the contortions, using the spin at the hoop. Not many players can make that. Mason. Big time play. Hoiberg with it. Garnett with two. With Kevin Garnett. Puts a dagger in the heart of the Clippers. One of the Clippers' great performances of the season is spoiled by one of the greatest players in the game. McGrady looking, looking, looking. Loops it in. Carter's going to get a shot off. They can tie it with a two. A second and a half to go. Net, game, everything Vince Carter.
