I got right into "box break" videos on YouTube a while back of people hunting Jordan rookies. Its amazing how many sealed Fleer boxes from the mid 80s are still floating around

LA Beast has done a few looking for MJ cards as well as rare wrestling cards.
Never been a basketball fan but do enjoy watching those type of videos.

Now back to the rumours and scandals….

I got nothing.

 

[Bussie]

I remember when he was not long out of his playing career and before he started commentating the footy on Triple M, he used to host a basketball card show. I was listening to one episode and he was losing his shit at all the people prank calling the show and he gave them all a massive spray, saying words to the effect of, if this is the crap he has to deal with, they can stick their show.

So the next person who calls in starts by saying "Just touching on what you were saying there about the prank callers BT, I think you made some interesting points and (starts screaming incoherently for a few seconds before he's cut off)". 8-9 year old me was absolutely pissing myself.

Was it Toby from Newport?

Has the club tried

"I read that you didn't win your first couple of competitions"

The most awkward and unreal bit of radio

I also loved the George Forman interview where big George took 2 phone calls in the middle of it

Edit: beat me to it

I think BT said something like, ive got big hot cup of coffee while he was waiting or something like that, absolute gold

 

[El Doederino]

93/93 season was a boom, MJ Power in the Key, Shaq/Penny thunder and lightning..
Skybox, Fleer, NBA hoops gold anniversary
Going after footy training to the chemist to buy a pack, glory days

Bought a 94-95 whole box with my mate and felt like I’d completed if not cheated the hobby .. petered out just about the next year and I never looked at my file of cards again

1992-93 also had White Men Can’t Jump, NBA jam, and peak Nike Air Jordan 5’s and 6’s. What a time.

It was so long ago that I can't remember if it was real or not, but there were some funny times when BT seemed to blow his top at Rocky for being a dole bludger, etc

"You're lead up form has been shithouse, you must be hoping for a change of form"

"Yeah sure"

"Hmmm"

The Azharudin interview was grossly underrated!

No michael Jordan on NBAjam. Never made sense at the time.

 

[Cuzz09]

Basketball cards were massive early 90s here in Adelaide.

Few good card shops.

Was actually a really exciting little period collecting stuff then within a couple months it was over

It's a story as old as time. People with mental illnesses - especially those that come under the catch all of 'depression' - often seek out activities, or behave in such a way, so that their illness isn't readily identifiable. It's a defensive mechanism, and allows them to be someone else for a few hours of the day or week or whatever.

Another story as old as time is young blokes who think they are invincible go out and get destroyed regularly on booze and gear.
They then feel like absolute shite in the following days (come down) and hate the world.
Rinse/repeat.


More often it’s the lifestyle leading to the “depression” not the depression leading to the lifestyle.

Been there done that.

Licensing cost a bomb.

He's one of the great shit campaigners of all time, I found it hugely pathetic how he paid no attention to Longley in the Last Dance and then as soon as he found out Luc had a doco he dropped everything to simp over him. a horrible self serving, manipulative campaigner. but I guess he won a lot of people a lot of titles and a lot of money.

MJ is a borderline sociopath. He even admits that. That driven to be great he burns anyone that gets in his way. Thats why hes the greatest athlete ever. Played 82 games with a ****ed knee as a 41yo. LeBron fanboys thinking hes in the same stratosphere shit me. Anyway back to rumours not cold hard facts..

My first ever 'job' was working in the Rose and Ninnis card shop on Jetty Rd glenelg.

I think it was open for maybe a year. MAYBE.

Bought a sealed box of 93/94 Skybox Premium off eBay for around $100 during covid. Probably should get all the inserts graded, seems to be the way it's all going now.

Yeah, he dropped everything just because Longley's Australian Story might make him look bad. I was disappointed at the lack of Longley for the last dance, but, they had plenty to fill up the episodes anyway, it would have cost a lot more to get him than, say Bill Wennington and 99% of non-Australians couldn't have cared less if Longley appeared or not.

He's done precisely nothing to mend any bridges with Scottie Pippen regarding the latter's anger at the occasionally negative portrayal of him in the series, a much more explosive and potentially damaging relationship to navigate (and juicier, considering Pippen's ex was with Jordan's son for a few years). He doesn't give a toss at how many potshots Isiah Thomas throws at him. He doesn't care about rebuilding his friendship with Charles Barkley. Why Longley?

I'm far from a Jordan apologist, but all signs point to him genuinely doing some reflection and feeling bad about the omission of Longley and doing something to rectify it, at least from where I sat.
