    I hear you!! I'm sure us old Sooners have forgotten a few over the years. Not even sure why I remembered Gandy. I was a youngster and I remember my Dad being excited about him after listening to Tubbs talk about him on KTOK radio station one Friday evening. Tubbs talked about how good of an...

    Thank you!! Looking at Soonerstats, he played in 13 games in 83, and 15 in 84. Like I said, he didn't contribute much, but he did have a couple of high flying dunks that I remember.

    I believe Gandy was a Juco guy. He wore goggles and I remember my Dad saying how odd looking he was, lol.... He never did anything significant, but everyone raved about his dunks and alley-oops during practice. I'm not even sure he completed a full season. If he did, it was probably his only...

    It's certainly a battle with Denver. Watching Jokic/Murray in the two-man game when it counts is a thing of perfection. I thought OKC relied on the ISO game with Shai to much late in the 4th and OT, and he wasn't having one of his better nights. They play so well when they move the ball, and...

    The Tubbs years had some amazing athletes who were just OK basketball players. Shawn Clark at the time we signed him, had one of the highest vertical jumps in the nation. Another very average player, but high flyer was Don Gandy. Calvin Pierce was very athletic for a power forward. Those are...

    Those are the same guys who have REPORTED the Lakers will add Giannis this summer, trade for Jokic, add Kyrie, and bring back Phil Jackson to coach.... :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO:They are one of many Laker pages that specialize in click bait.

    I might add Gordon's three-pointer broke a tie I was in on Draftkings, in their big $1 entry NBA tournament. I finished 2nd and won a cool $600 on a $1 ticket. Not a bad night!!! I hit for $150 a few nights ago on a 25cent baseball ticket.

    I hear you, brother. I hear a lot of his critics saying he only does it for recognition, and the old tax write-off, etc My question to them is, why don't more athletes/entertainers do it, and don't all millionaires/billionaires use charity for a tax write-off? Obviously, none of us knows the...

    It's a public school, so yes, taxpayers fund a good portion of it. LBJ provides free meals, uniforms, and transportation through his Foundation. He also footed the start-up costs. Philanthropy is the act of donating time, money, or resources to help improve the well-being of others or society...

    He was on fire in the 1st half..... traded places with Curry who couldn't hit anything.

    Have we ever had a starting front line of 6'8, 6'9, 6'10"?

    Wasn't David Johnson on that as well? Seager as well if I remember correctly.

    I have been to Akron multiple times. I was speaking more to the environment he lived in. I don't care if you live in Purcell, OK growing up with a mom who is addicted to crack creates a pretty bad living situation.... Akron isn't Detroit obviously, but it has it's elements, and I know that...

    I respect your opinion, but I don't agree with most of it..... the game changes from generation to generation. The Bad Boys, old Celtics, and Lakers thought MJ was soft, and a crybaby, and most of his teammates thought he was selfish. The same was said about Kobe early in his career. Narratives...

    They gotta rebuild the roster around Luka. The current roster would have been much better with a healthy AD, as they were playing their best basketball right before the trade. Luka needs a rim runner in the middle he can throw lobs to. The defense was possibly the worst I've seen. The LeBron era...
