    I don't think I am the oldest around here but I do remember when Jerry West was a rookie, and I ain't lying!!

    Sad thought, I really liked alot of those guys. I do wonder where great posters like therealdeal are. I'm in my 40's and at times I forget that there are posters here with whole generations of viewing more than me. Kudos!

    Real was a good dude to have around. It seemed he made a cameo ever once in a while.

    Do you remember when he was pushing for Westbrook really hard and a lot of us were against it. I know I pushed back pretty hard. He disappeared not long after that if I remember right. Which is about 50/50.

    I remember getting into it with him about Lonzo. I wanted to add Kuzma to the AD trade and keep Ingram. He was adamant we should keep Lonzo. Good times - would be great to get more posters who are active like that.

    And the all time discussion on whether The Last Jedi was any good at all - I argued it was rubbish hehe. Good times!

    I loved talking Lakers with the realdeal. He was one of my favorite posters. Wish he was still around here. Wonder what he would think about this whole drama takeover of the Lakers ownership.
