@ 4.01 .............THE KING OF THE RIM Vintage James crawford .... I remeber when he did that dunk i rewound and paused it SO many times , i stretched the blank vhs that mum had recorded it on for me , she got so pissed at me ...... But DAMN it was worth it !!!
Ah the good old days!!! Primetime 830pm TV coverage on weekends for those who couldnt get a ticket! Great players, Hard, uncomplicated basketball (see Marty Clarke smash Pinder setting a pick 4:37).
JC's trademark dunks....huge but the one on Pat Reidy 4:03 huge!
This was the Wildcats golden era. The Black Pearl was coach and we had JC, Tiny Pinder and Ricky Grace in our starting five. Probably the best three imports to ever play on the same team. I was only a kid but I remember the PEC would be rockin' for Wildcats' home games. Our major sponsor was also Emu Export! lol
Anyone remember what the cheerleaders were called in the early '90s? I had a huge crush on them as a kid and they're still like wow when I saw a glimpse of footage of them now. Classy women. They used to broadcast clips of them, if anyone has any please upload. :(
And those days with the Wildcats were magic. Granted, they're no NBA but the talent in the NBA is beyond dreamers. The NBL is down to earth basketball, something people could aspire to, and something fans of the sport should support.
Neither of those things is true. He did lead the NBL in both scoring and rebounding in 1985 though, when he played for the Sydney Supersonics and was named in the All-NBL First Team.
He was drafted to the NBA in the 5th round in 1979 but never played.
Great vid,Thanks for the 'ol memories flashing back!! Luv ya "Watto",what a legend!! For us lucky enough who lived and experienced those days,we all surely agree back then the wildcats were huger than the eagles,and it was an era yet to be relived,if ever!! Note haha the emu export advertising in the lane,how times have changed!! Long live the good ol days of perth basketball :)
great video mate !!!! all them guys are legends !!!! can't believe that was almost 20yrs ago!!!! jc , grace my all time hero's!!!!! would kill for a signed jersey!!!!!
Thanks. I would appreciate it if you included elements of the Channel 7/Channel Ten coverage, such as graphics and theme music, as well as game highlights.

The Perth Wildcats Golden era...Almost unbeatable.
Ent Cent just to be packed to the rafters and the atmosphere was magic evry homegame. Perth couldnt get enough of The Wildcats in the 90's.
Still got a blockmounted Emu Gold poster featuring Ricky,James and Mike.Good memories...!!!

JC was my favourtie player from when he had a stint at the Cannons when I was a kid growing up in Canberra. That dunk at 4:00 was some nasty shit.

Tiny Pinder led the NBL in scoring for 6 years. He also played for the charlotte hornettes in 1988, leading the team in assists and rebounds

More like North Carolina State Uni not Charlotte Hornets. And more like 1978 not 1988. It doesn't look like he stood a foot onto an NBA court.
