Lumpina, I am not old enough for Bill Russell lol... I came to USA, the NYC area, just in time for the great Knicks-Bulls battles - I leabred the hard way to never, ever, expect Jordan to fail...
You should watch The Last Dance, it is pretty fascinating look at a bunch of figures and not just Jordan. For me, each of the hour long episodes just whipped by -- could not believe it was the end already. Highly recommended.
I love today's NBA, I like Russell Westbrook, I enjoy watching crazy James Harden, and the experiment of them all together in "micro-ball" -- was interested to see if it failed...
Anyway, I missed this playoffs... For me, baseball is too dead and the people I do not care for. My real love is the English Premier League and European soccer which are now all over cable thankfully.
Good talking to you!
