OOhhhhhh really????Have u watched any 80's game btw?? u see how Kobe, LeBrick, and Wade complain all the time coz of "mosquito bite" hits in the arm which for them is a FOUL??!!! There was none of those in Magic/Bird/Jordan era... those players were tougher back then.

Wonderful and Sensitive portrayal of a courageous and talented athlete. Thank yo, Magic, for taking your nightmare and turning it into a dream come true. You raised awareness and gave HIV it's proper voice. We, as a society, owe you a lot.

and then in 20 years, you'll say the same thing about these current players. The training techniques advance, the supplements (human growth hormone) get better, knowledge advances.  If Babe Ruth played baseball today, he would be the worse player in the league. You measure people by how good they were in their own time.

[Michael Chait]

Dude.....smh. Even if you WERE right (which you aren't), the only thing different would be strength, speed and athleticism. You don't think if Magic and Bird were in the league today they would train the same way as the current players?

Here's a lesson you should always know: Great players find ways to be great.

Those 80s Laker teams were the best and I hate the Lakers.

It's not that stupid. HIV is frequently referred to as the AIDS virus, even though technically you do not get AIDS from only it.

Saying he has AIDS would be a problem, but saying he has the AIDS virus isn't really improper at all. What's more is that while what he said MIGHT not have been part of a script, news anchors typically just read scripts or just re-state what they've been told, and hence it wouldn't even really be Browkaw's fault for saying something wrong (but still have some blame)

@ My basketball teammates noticed originally from my mate that he now got a great deal better in bball applying 50inchvertical[dot]com - it really works

i think mj (michael) has few faults in his game if any. his athleticism and defense was so much greater than magic (or bird).

but if to pick a player to start a team from scratch, id pick magic.

[raclos234]

i found it pretty ironic that mailman missed very few games b/c of injury,,,then his best shot at the title in 04' he gets hurt.

[raclos234]

the players are bigger faster and stronger...but thats doesnt mean they know how to play the game of basketball.
