Basketball Hall of Fame

the object of my mecca. the muslims can have their once in a lifetime trek to the holy land. this is my equivalent. armed only with my seattle sonics shirt i came. i conquered. and i was inducted.

dr. james naismith
the name itself exudes excellence. please remove your hats and bow your heads as we have a moment of silence for the man who, with his peach basket and leather ball, gave rise to the greatest sport ever invented

had i been born 20 yrs earlier, in brooklyn NY, to the couple of james and delores jordan...... this could of been my stuff behind a glass case

nooooooo!!! not the pit defense! no one perfected the art better than mchale himself.
heavy D goes up for the rebound, just about has it, and then...... whack! outta nowhere kevin comes with his pit hair and snatches it out of reach. another victim of the sweaty hair pits falls by the wayside

the most elusive question in the history of basketball: which one really is the greatest? larry legend, G$, or air jordan. the debate could go on for another century......

what hall of fame would it be without a tribute to the glove? i would give my firstborn daughter for that jersey. if you look closely you can see the reflection of the sonics shirt in the glass. what photography! (and i was kidding about the firstborn stuff..... mostly)

which one is the hick from french lick? i really cant tell, help me out here people. an exact replica..... except for the shorts, i couldnt go that far. why didnt they just play in underwear?

a little competition where we had to be the first to make a basket on each one of the hoops. i obviously had enough time to step aside, take the picture, put the camera back in its case, then went to the bathroom, retied my shoes, and still had time left over to come back and win the competition by 3 hoops!

by the time we left, the committee couldnt help but reserve a spot for the mccoy name. lets be honest for just a minute here. what other family has had such an impact on the game as ours? what other selection of siblings and parents has revolutionized the game and brought sheer joy to the hearts of children across the globe as those whose last name is spelled with the letters m-c-c-o-y? i submit that there is not another.....

Haha. Yes, I can honestly say I can die in peace now that I've been to the BBall HOF. The diff hoops was the best (except for that damned peach basket, it's impossible!)

We have made James proud.
