I'll never forget that move. "Dr J" was a superhuman magician with the ball in his hands.

Back in the 1990s, I served Dr. J lunch at Mickey Mantle's restaurant. He was a true gentleman. He asked me to keep autograph seekers away while he ate, but he was happy to sign and chat with fans after he'd paid the check.

I didn't think Mickey Mantle's was even around in the 90's. Are you referring to the steak house in Bricktown?

There was one in NYC that opened in 1980's or 90's and closed in the early 2000's

No, the one on Central Park South in NYC.

lakers. My dad was a lakers fan so became a lakers fan as well. I get asked all the time how I live in Oklahoma and don't cheer fore the thunder. they were not here while I was falling in the love with the game and the kobe and shaq years. it may have been different had they been. cant just change teams now.

Could not agree more.

Knew we had something in common, WTS. I could not care less about the Thunder.

Totally agree on that as well. When I started becoming a fan of certain teams/franchises... Orlando, Milwaukee with Ray Allen and Sam Cassell, and then I moved to Denver and started going to Nuggets games.. All of this happened before the Thunder came to OKC, and I didn't live in Oklahoma when the Thunder arrived. I live in Oklahoma now, but it's hard to just develop a team like that.

I like a lot of teams, especially smaller market teams, and don't dislike the Thunder, I would just call myself a fan of the Nuggets and Bucks, in particular.

I loved Dallas during the Dirk/Nash years as well.

All Thunder fans are bandwagon fans, unless they were born in the mid 2000s.

actually no ... per rules of fandom it is fine and it is not bandwagon ...

Moved to DFW from OKC in 2000 and slowly evolved into a Mavericks fan. From 2000 on, it was a good time to be a Mavs fan as it has been there best run over "10+ years" in the history of the franchise. Their worst season in that time frame....I believe they finished around .500. Before that, I hadn't been much of a follower of the NBA until it was playoff time.

When Dallas is out of it (which has been relatively quickly in recent years), I generally pull for the Thunder. Westbrook is probably my favorite player to watch in the league right now.
