Listening to these men brings back memories of when people said with surprise "wow he speaks well" I guess a lot of folks back then didn't listen and assumed Basketball / athletes were illiterate. This video is a prime example they could express themselves better than most because on a daily basis they were asked to.

Nate the Great earned that nick name. Quadruple double jeeez . Nate was incredible. You see Dwight Howard, cut, super strong & can jump. Nate was just like him except the super hops but as strong and a better shooter with more moves, rebounded 10X better and that was because of his determination to get the rebound got it done.Add class an ,honorable man, that's Nate the great!

John Mengelt was tougher than John Stockton, believe it or not.

I like the commentary of what Pete Maravich said about hot-dogging and what the fans responded in a banner. "It takes 15 cents to buy on in Philadelphia but 2 million in Atlanta."
