Billy "Kangaroo Kid" Cunningham

The eternal boy (white) Billy Cunningham brought his passion for basketball in all school grounds between New York and Washington, DC (District of Columbia), where his leaps made him gain, with the Kangaroo Kid deserved nickname, the respect of teammates and opponents almost exclusively blacks. When, however, saw him look at Chapel Hill campus of the University of North Carolina, Dean Smith was not just won (euphemism). Or rather, noting the slight build, knobby knees and awkward gait, the coach recalls thinking: "When did 'this boy can play basketball? I can not even walk. "

To avoid bone Billy" The (Kangaroo) Kid "punitive treatment under the boards, the Philadelphia 76ers thought they exploit in the backcourt stature and mobility. But a friendly against the Celtics convinced them otherwise. "It seemed that the half way line was a mile and a half away," Cunningham said of trying to bring the ball forward against KC Jones. Cunningham is part of the team in 1967, eventually toppled the Celtics just when , Wilt Chamberlain recalled, "in the NBA had already established a new role: the sixth man. And he, a white boy from Brooklyn, walked out the bench as a change of five blacks. Billy was unbelievable. "

surprisingly tenacious rebounder and effective, Cunningham was a slasher on offense quickly and easily remained in the air forever and then came" under "the defender to score with a soft layup. Complementary to its revenue, had an outdoor game based almost entirely on the strength of will: "It was a bad shot - telling coach Doug Moe - and then the shot is not ever trained. Knew he could not improve, so confident that he entered the game scored and reckless to the point to believe it himself. "

The City of Brotherly Love, the City brotherly love, known for its stars as denigrates, adopted the Kangaroo Kid as his own. The forgave two years of flight in ABA (the Carolina Cougars, 1972-1974), complete with season MVP in 1973. And two years after a knee injury prematurely cut short the career, gave him the welcome back as coach of the Sixers for the 1978 season. From neophyte, Cunningham had a roster of talent a dominant team, even if at times maddeningly inconsistent. He led the Sixers to three finals in four years, and in 1983 won the championship, finishing the playoffs with only one defeat. A Philadelphia reporter summed up the period Cunningham went on to haunt the Sixers panchinari: "He kept them in the incuidine and the hammer, the stamped his feet, guiding them, and they lived together eight years unforgettable."

Earl "The Pearl" Monroe

"I do not think I can be stopped. I mean, I do not know what I will do with the ball, and if I do not know me, I'm pretty sure I do not know not even me who is marking. " - Earl Monroe

"If the greats of the past come out from the grave to see him play, think that he had never played basketball" - coach Joe Lapchick

He entered the league in the late 60's, and his game was none other than NBA counterculture. It was said that was all the playground, she did not know basketball. All smoke, no substance. But the criticism showed that he does not understand how the game was changing. The way it was evolving. Prior to Monroe, there were only a few ways to overcome his opponent. After Monroe? Be 'is the story of thirty years of NBA success.

They called him "Black Jesus", "Thomas Edison" (for all that he invented) and "Earl the Pearl," the nickname that has stuck. Released from South Philadelphia, Monroe went to Winston Salem, Division II college in North Carolina and senior (fourth and last closed) scored 41.5 points per game. The Baltimore Bullets made it the second player named to the 1967 NBA Draft. His rival and future compgno team, Walt Frazier, was chosen by the New York Knicks three picks later. From rookie (freshman), Monroe finished fourth among the markers and scored 56 points to the Lakers. The

spin, if the turnaround on sstesso was "his" movement. To right and left. He knew how to turn around the defender is standogli overlooked, is giving back. After the spin Earl would have blown the opponent following a double-believe, would serve a no-look pass on the cut of a mate, or he would go to the basket, with limbs that seemed to be going in different directions on his own imitation of the body.

In 1969 he began one of the great rivalries of the playoffs in NBA history. Bullets and Knicks met six times in a row from 1969 to 1974. After losing the first two years against the Knicks, the Bullets in seven games eliminated the defending champions before losing to the Milwaukee Bucks Oscar Robertson and Lew Alcindor in the 1971 final. So, Monroe was traded to the Knicks. Monroe, the magician of the playground was now a member of the New York Knicks, the quintessential team player. How can we not enough, Frazier and Monroe would have shared the same backcourt. "To stop him you had to shoot it down," Frazier said of Monroe. "Monroe once made me nightmares. Because when I was in Baltimore was so devastating to be marked, and such a showman who did not want to make you basket, because you ridiculed."

After an injury that affects the first season in New York, Monroe adapts to his new team. His media-points down but its essence was still the whole Pearl. The Knicks beat the Celtics, who led the league in regular season with 68 victories, winning in Boston for gara7 94-78. That year the Knicks won their second NBA title by beating Los Angeles in five games. It was the only championship won in his career from Monroe.

Sacramento Kings without a kingdom

The Sacramento Kings are born as Rochester Royals, one of the original teams in the NBA. They play in Rochester from 1946 to 1957, then moved to Cincinnati. The last won the NBA championship before leaving Rochester is that of 1950-51, 4-3 in the final to the New York Knicks.
The Cincinnati Royals remain in Ohio 14 years before making a bundle, but without carrying the nickname for Kansas City. To keep the real nickname, but with greater Kansas for alliteration, become Kansas City-Omaha Kings.
Name changed to Kansas City Kings in 1975-76 and remains so until 1986. Then the threshold is moved to the capital of California, Sacramento Kings and becomes. The name will not change any more. And even the bulletin board.

Super Bowl, I dream of a midwinter night in Pine

not true that America stops for the Super Bowl. How did not stop Europe for the final of the Champions League, beat in the 2010 TV ratings: 106 against 101 million viewers.
It 's true, however, an old saying in baseball is America would be like, football is America as it is.
The apple pie, the anthem before the games (even if wrong), and Thanksgiving on the East Coast, playing for the Steelers. The dream of every kid who picks up the oval ball with the seams on one side.
He said, well, the 21 year old Tom Cruise in All The Right Moves : The Rebel improbably translated into . That is, "Stef" Djordjevic, a Polish immigrant second generation in the small town of Ampipe, company depressed town in Pennsylvania thirty years before Obama. An engineering student must do the right moves in the field to win out: a scholarship for college. The dream of social emancipation as a generation, loss of life from the first down. Like his friend Chris Penn.
"play for the Steelers," the dream, perhaps in the Superbowl. Where the working class goes to heaven, because it is at home. And as ever this year. Centounmila "cheese heads to Green Bay, three times as much" as Steel "for Pittsburgh. Two ridiculous markets for U.S. standards. Yet able to divide America, united at least once a year for 45 issues. And for one night, be proud of as it is, not only would be like.
