OT: Yield.. Basketball.. class of 1992…

You got that right.. Shaq was bypassed but if you are looking on a meritocracy, Laettner earned his spot, though he clearly didn’t lift up to the expectation in Barcelona. Shaq or Zo would definitely play better, but then again 1992 dream teram (the real dream team IMO) was never meant to be big bully/muscle.. but rather poise and elegance (in MJ, Larry Bird, Magic Johnson), even the centers are Robinson and Ewing…

Laettner earned his spot by scoring a perfect game in the NCAA tournament (and secure a national championship with teammate Grant Hill, Bobby Hurley, Lang etc)
Scoring game high of 31 points, 10 for 10 from the field with 1 three point shot made and 10 for 10 from the line… I was upset with the decision to include him to the dream team but after that performance.. I couldn’t argue otherwise…. People might call it luck… but he basically scored a perfect game (which I never seen anyone else do a perfect game for 30pts+)… simply put…

Let’s hope Big shot Rob did his thing again… I’m sure they will guard him better these last 2 games.. then we actually will see if he’s the real thing..
If he win with Miami he will be the only player to win with 4 different team and the only active player with 7 championship…
If not moving to Miami .. win another one in spurs is fine by me too… I just enjoy the adrenaline rush that he gave to the whole team and the spectator especially in the fourth quarter… (surely a relief for Duncan who was about to be the scapegoat of game 5 should they lost it. And Rasheed is then the scapegoat for game 5)

Horry’s left handed dunk in the Game 5 overtime is spectacular too.. he jumps far away behind the baseline…. Very extended… slam dunk contest worthy…
