  • The Captain was amazing on that play.

  • That was a play they showed in the 87 Champ video.  It's a funny clip, but it wasn't totally unheard of from him, his handles on the sprint were better than many Cs not named Robinson.

  • @nonplayerzealot4 If it hadn't been for those damn injuries he woulda gone down as one of the best players ever...same thing goes for Bernard King, Penny Hardaway and Grant Hill too...

  • @flight23magic32 Just getting to this a year later, heh. Sampson is a good call. He looked like a damn guard dribbling the ball upcourt at 7'4". He's become almost forgotten, but he was the big name coming out of college. He probably got more hype than even Akeem at that point.

  • name of song???

  • Ηe did have good handles...I still remember the play where he goes baseline on Robinson, upfakes, does a 360 pivot, upfakes again and then goes under him for the layup...he's the best center I've ever seen but I haven't seen him do a coast-to-coast...another tall guy with great handles that I just remembered is his teammate Ralph Sampson...that guy would go coast-to-coast consistenly...and also Shawn Kemp was another guy with great handles and one of my all-time favorite players...

  • How about Olajuwon?

  • ... great video. What happened to Magic in this game?

  • I was 5 years old in 1987!! i remember watching games with my pops, and him screaming at the TV if the Lakes were playing like crap :(

  • Shaquille O'Neal and Kevin Garnett are probably the two best ball handling 7footers+ to ever play this game...another tall guy with great handles was Toni Kukoc...but he was like 6.10 or 6.11...
