We are joined by writer and field reporter Louis Keene (Unstatable) to chop up the Rockets vs. Supersonics, Western Conference Semifinals Game 6, a losing team (the Sonics) making it to the Western Conference Finals, the Twin Towers of the Rockers, the Sonics as an early iteration of today’s NBA game, Hakeem Olajuwon’s early greatness (even though the announcers don’t quite see it), Dale Ellis as Lamar Mundane, how you better pass Tom Chambers the ball, pre-Eurostep NBA, the sadness of Ralph Sampson missing free throws, and how basketball is an unending source of joy.

For more on the discussion, check out:
