Most of us remember the 90s NBA as a Chicago story. The Bulls dynasty. The Dream Team. The commercials we still quote at each other thirty years later. But spend a little time digging into the decade and a different picture comes together...one that doesn't get talked about nearly as much.

Michael Jordan was from Wilmington, North Carolina. Scottie Pippen grew up in central Arkansas. The teal and purple craze that swept four professional sports leagues started with a Chapel Hill designer. The Magic duo that almost broke up the Bulls dynasty came out of LSU and Memphis. The Rockets team that interrupted the Bulls run with back-to-back rings was anchored by a Phi Slamma Jamma Cougar who never left Texas. And the fastest-selling rookie signature shoe of the entire decade outside of Jordan's was worn by a Duke kid from Dallas.

This week, Matt, Joey, Eric, and Drake sit down to talk about arguably the greatest decade in professional basketball — Reggie Miller and Spike Lee, the New Orleans Jazz somehow ending up in Salt Lake City, the Larry Johnson Grandmama commercials, John Tesh's Roundball Rock, courtside celebrity hecklers, the Bulls dynasty, the Hornets, the shoes, and the time Dennis Rodman went missing in Vegas in the middle of the season.

The 90s NBA may have looked like a Chicago story. But it definitely got the assist from the South.
