There were still tape delay Finals game into the mid-1980s.

I remember a taped delay game coming on at Maria's Roman Room, a pizza place in Lakewood, when I was eating there in high school.

UEM, do you know where I mean?

Lakewood, yes. It is where I was born.

Were you really born in Lakewood? If so, how did I not know or forget this?

I was thinking more of Maria's Roman Room.

This was the building:

Now that sounds sort of familiar. Maybe we discussed that when it was torn down.

There was an SI article I want to say right before the Magic draft that essentially was "Is the NBA too black?"

Yeah. And a lot of it was coded around the 70's drug use.

Magic was definitely marketed as "one of the safe ones".

"Are you sure he's safe?"

I can't believe nobody commented on the "Second Worst Donald of the 80s" chyron when they introduced Donald Sterling. Made me chuckle.

I like it, I don't know for sure if I'd get a full subscription for it but it was good.

I know it's not easy to get people big enough to play NBA players convincingly, but the 1 on 1 game between Nixon and Magic, they should have done some forced perspective or something because Norm was way too close to Magic's height.

Last night's episode was directed by Jonah Hill apparently.

Reilly as Buss is just way more entertaining than anything else on the show. The dude they got to play Magic is really good but the stuff he is involved with is more serious and less entertaining.

That's actually how the series starts!

But no, just getting rich, women troubles, family stuff, etc.

I did . He’s a good guy. It bothers me to say that. He is so uppity with his disdain for whites, but still he has done some good things in Detroit.
