Check The Tape

With the one year anniversary of Kobe's death passing recently the Dan's decided to watch Kobe and Shaq's Lakers beat the Nick Van Exel and Antonio McDyess Denver Nuggets at the Forum in 1999. 

The Dan's honor the great Tommy Heinsohn by watched a game he called in 1987 between the John Stockton and piece of crap Karl Malone's Utah Jazz and the 80's Big Three Celtics featuring Larry Bird, Kevin McHale and Robert Parish at the Boston Garden. RIP Tommy. RIP KC. 

The Dan's watch Chris Mullin, Latrell Sprewell and Joe Smiths Golden State Warriors play the Los Angeles Clippers lead by Malik Sealy, Lorenzen Wright and Loy Vaught on March 10, 1997, the day after the death of Christopher Wallace. 

The Dans watch the Sacramento Kings play the Detroit Pistons on February 2, 2000. The game pits Jason Williams, Chris Webber and Vlade Divac against Jerry Stackhouse, Christian Laettner, and Lindsey Hunter at the Palace At Auburn Hills. 

The Dan's watch Big Z, Bobby Sura, Shawn Kemp and the rest of the Cavaliers play against Steve Smith, Dikembe, Tyrone Corbin and the Atlanta Hawks in 1998 at the home of the George Tech Yellow Jackets. 

The Dan's close out NBA Preseason by watching Damon Stoudamire, Rasheed Wallace and Bonzi Wells and the Portland Trail Blazers take on Bryant Reeves, Shareef Abdur-Rahim and Mike Bibby and the Vancouver Grizzlies in the post lockout preseason of 1999. 

The Dan's watch Kobe Bryant and the Los Angeles Lakers play Antawn Jamison and the Golden State Warriors on December 6, 2000. Both players would go on to score 51 points in a surprising loss for the to be champion Lakers. 

The Dan's celebrate Sarah Fuller and Callie Brownson breaking barriers in the football world by finally watching an old WNBA Game. The 2007 WNBA Finals saw Diana Taurasi, Penny Taylor, Cappie Pondexter, and Tangela Smith  of the Phoenix Mercury square off with Deanna Nolan, Swin Cash, Katie Smith and head coach Bill Laimbeer of the Detroit Shock. 

The Dan's run through the NBA Draft Lottery and tell you why to hate a bunch of 19 year old kids including Lamelo Ball, James Wiseman, Obi Toppin, Patrick Williams and Tyrese Haliburton. We wind down with some BS including the Chris Paul trade from the OKC Thunder to the Phoenix Suns and the Philadelphia 76ers big moves. 

The Dan's watch a team of college "All-Stars" coached by UCONN legend Jim Calhoun featuring Brian Cardinal from Purdue, Bootsy Thornton of St. Johns, and 1996 western new york player of the year Tim Winn play against the Harlem Globetrotters who are for some reason coached by Alvin Gentry and lead by Will Cunningham, Johnny Rhodes and The Regulator Reggie Phillips on April fools day 2000.
