2:50 to 3:00, how is it possible that Artis Gilmore's neck and shoulder block out the white of the backboard but his wrist of his extended arm does not?! Whoever super-imposed that pic, oops!

@ckobo84: That's because he is wearing a white wristband. You can see it on the bigger version of this photo. I can post a link if you want to.

GREAT TRIBUTE so he left out a few greats like Russell it's still cool.

Kareem's "sky hook" (I think) shot @ 1:43-a thing of beauty......

Don't forget Dan issel, and Bob Macadoo he's know as a forward but he played the pivot
