This is the All Star game my dad took me to. I met so many of these NBA stars. I ran into Michael Jordan and Isiah Thomas in an elevator. When I asked Hakeem Olajawan why Kareem Abdul Jabbar didn’t sign autographs, he told me that Kareem was an a-hole.
I remember our own Tom Chambers got the game MVP. And my dad pointed out that Magic fed him the ball and pretty much gave Tom the MVP. That’s the kind of guy Magic Johnson is. Truly magic.
This era of NBA was such a great time for basketball and culture. It’s a shame what things have become.
