When I was still pretty young; getting that whole reading thing down and one day I realized hey.. that player has my middle and last name as his name, thought it was cool at the time... silly as it sounds but that started the journey of being a fan of the Spurs.

Steve Nash after watching him play a couple games in his "return" season with the Suns back in 2004/2005. Knew he was going to be a stud in Phoenix for a while.

 

[Mecca]

Favorite player of Alltime?

The first time I saw him smile.

It's Magic baby!

 

[Lone Granger]

Watching Reggie Miler bang 3s on the Knicks, pissing off and also silencing the New York crowd, and trash talking everyone, especially Spike Lee.

And of course...

...this


I can't remember the actual moment, but it was these things that made me a fan of him and what made me a Pacers fan for life.

This also made me love Wade even more. 17 straight points including the game winner against the hated Pistons in a regular season shsowdown

Most Heat fans. July 08, 2010 - ESPN - Lebron James "The Decision" Full Interview - YouTube

That's funny, but this is what LeBron really said. They dubbed him in the interview that was on TV so it wouldn't ruin everything for him. He wanted to come out clearly and probably still will.

 

[Lakers+USC=#1]

The moment Kobe challenged Jordan, in his second season, in the All-star game. I said, that young fella is brave and crazy.

My all time favorite Sonic. GP backed down from nobody. Held Jordan to 41 % shooting in the finals and in game 6 guarding Jordan he held him to 5-19 shooting (though in a loss).

His trash talking and brashness is the what I love most about GP

Second all time favorite Sonic. Ray Allen



My favorite non-sonics are Lebron and Dwade

Loved both Lebron and Dwade coming out of the draft. I was intrigued by Lebron in high school but when he hit those two game winners in his first ever playoff appearance I was a believer in his greatness

And then this...



I fell in love with Dwade's game while he was in Marquette during that great tournament run of his.

Allen Iverson:

Shot against the Lakers in the Finals
Game winning steal and bucket against the Wizards
Crossover against Michael Jordan

Took a 5 year hiatus from NBA.

Tuned into this game in March of 2005 with no real connection to a team/player or anything. I always liked been Gordon, but I was enamored with LeBron's size/athleticism/skill.

I was happy the bulls were going win, then LeBron hit a 3 at the buzzer to put it into OT. Bulls won anyway, but that was when I started to really like LeBron and get into the NBA again.

Cleveland Cavaliers vs. Chicago Bulls - Play By Play - March 31, 2005 - ESPN

My favorite current player on the Pistons

Maybe this works better?

 

[BOTSLAYER]

When Lebron left that shithole Cleveland and went to win rings with a competent organization...then when he became GM of Cleveland so it wouldn't be so damn incompetent.

Also Noah, because he is just awesome on and off the court.

And when Griner got healthy this year and was kicking ass all year.

 

[Lone Granger]

LeBron player fans came into this legit thread and ruined it.
