Re: Thanks Reggie!
Now its a new era of the NBA. Reggie was the last old school player left in the league that was actually good. No more Jordan, Robinson, Ewing, Hardaway, Barkely etc. The toch is being passed to Wade, Lebron, Duncan, Garnett, Kobe, McGrady, Curry, Yao, Arenas, Carter, Stoudemire, Notwitzki, Anthony, Gordon, Okafor. As these will be the stars of this new generation of the NBA, the guys we will be watching for the next 10 years.

That's because, by the time you were born, he was already an NBA All Star.
Reggie is definitely gonna be missed in the league.

Re: Thanks Reggie!
This is probably going to get me in trouble here, but nonetheless, I feel the need to say it.
How come when a player dies tragically or retires, everything seems to be exaggerated? Now, I'm not calling a Reggie a bad player, but he's not exactly an NBA role model on the court either. I don't believe flashing a choke sign is classy, and I certainly don't find kicking out on three pointers to draw fouls (which is a personal pet peeve of mine, I've seen three people get injured from stuff similar to that in real games) is classy either.
Now this happens to everybody too. When Reggie White died, people talked about what a great person he was, but they forgot about the disparaging remarks towards homosexuals.
Now, I'm not saying Reggie sucks, but I'm trying to get people to keep in mind that he did do things that weren't classy too (at least in my opinion). THat doesn't take away from a hall of fame career though. Karl Malone and John Stockton were dirty players, but they won't be remembered for that. The same is true for Reggie.
Anyway, just my opinion.

Which is why I said that he won't be remembered for that, but I just disagree with all the class remarks. Off the court, he may be the nicest guy alive, but on the court, I just have a different view of things.

Re: Thanks Reggie!
that's on the court though. its a war out there, these guys are trying to pound you into the ground, block your shot into the fifth row and dominate you. "they wanna dunk in your face and make you like it" - magic johnson. if you never played ball, or even anything else competitively i can see why it'd be hard to understand.

It's harder letting go of great competitors. He gave passion for the game, and awesome times during the clutch, and he got into fights, yeah, I don't really mind. Doesn't make me respect him any less.
Thanks for the memories Reggie, you're the last of em'.

Re: Thanks Reggie!
I hated Reggie during the 90s... but I actually wanted the Pacers to win tonight just so he could keep playing... Reggie you were a B!tch to my Bulls at times but I'm glad I got to see one of the best 3 point shooters to ever play the game, play the game....
