I guess those exhibitions games here a couple of weeks ago did a lot to promote the sport. Stupid cable channels....

actually blueballs theres the 5 foot 7 tabuse of japan, who before coming to the nba was hailed as the jordan of japan.

This was before the Internet, you know. The game was delayed on AFKN-TV but live on the radio, producing the classic line "Oh, don't worry. Laettner wins it on a turnaround jumper. I heard it already." I saw that on TV here in Korea when I was stationed at Osan Air Base. This was before the Internet, you know.

Philadelphia: Duke v Kentucky, in the Elite Eight of the NCAA's 1992. No, not 3OT, but it was double OT. I remember congratulating the UK fans right next to me on a great win over us--just a few seconds before Grant Hill lobbed the 3/4 court inbound pass to Laettner. The reaction of Thomas Hill was priceless. After not believing their eyes, the UK fans were good sports in congratulating us. After that game, my friends and I had a happy, drunken time at the bars near UPenn . Brendon> I think I have you beat. Philadelphia: Duke v Kentucky, in the Elite Eight of the NCAA’s 1992.

Unfortunately for me, my experience of basketball has been ruined by my attendance at the Greatest Game Ever Played™, the Busch Braggin' Rights game on December 22, 1993 at the St. Louis Arena -- Mizzou 108, Illini 107 (<b>3OT</b>). There will never be a more thrilling basketball experience. There were a couple close calls afterward, in Mizzou's NCAA loss to UCLA (1994; Mizzou got jobbed) and several regular-season and NCAA thrillers during the Todd MacCulloch era at the University of Washington, but really nothing matches up to the tension and excitement of that Braggin' Rights game. Should've laminated that ticket stub. A good basketball game is a rare treat (especially here in Korea).

For a neutral fan of basketball, it would have been a good game to watch. For someone rooting for the US, not so great. Lebron seemed to only shoot from the outside in that game, and we got schooled on the rebounding. Wouldn't have believed there were something like 7 coaches on Team USA (and I'm a Duke fan). The Chinese seemed to just want a good game, and they loved the big name NBA players, but they seemed just as thrilled when those same players got their comeuppance later in the game.
