he's been doing this forever. I remember going to heat games in the late 90s and he would do this in pre-game warm ups. he is incredible and of course a fan favorite.
Funny story. So early 1990's when he played for the Suns, my sister had a huge crush on him. Well in summer time of 1992 or 1993 we went on a family cruise to the Bahamas and low and behold Dan was also on that cruise. My sister probably lurked the hell out of him and finally got the chance to get picture taken with him. Well here is what is funny about it. This was the 90s back when all we had was the shitty polaroid disposable cameras. When we finally got back home and she had them developed, there was a huge shadow casted over Dan like a silhouette. So her picture with Dan turned out to be garbage.
Majerle, wow that is a name I haven't heard in a long time. His run with the Suns with Barkley and Johnson was some of the most fun basketball to watch.
Top 3 unknown facts about Dan Majerle: 3. During team shower, former teammate, Sir Charles took a peak and christened him "Thunder Dan." 2. Phoenix Sun cheerleaders know him by his other nickname.... "Down town Dan." 1. Like Lebron, he played with Cleveland and Miami... unlike Lebron, he doesn't need 4 steps to score.
I remember this on PTI. Dan Majerle kicked ass in NBA Jam. If you didn't have Barkley on the Suns in certain versions just pick Johnson and Majerle and you are set still.
Check this- Majerle Was a three time All-Star, two time all defensive team, and one of the deadliest three point shooters of his time, and got his nick name Thunder Dan from his thunderous dunks. Point being the man could play. Show some respect.
awesome. I went to his restaurant when I was a kid and I got to meet him. He's a super nice guy and even talked with us for a little bit and took pictures with us. He even gave me a piece of cake LOL. what a nice guy
I can see where Curry found some of his current moves on the court! What a player for the Suns! Dan knew how to play the game. I could watch him all day!
My memory of Thunder Dan is he taking a crazy 3 point shot (which he missed) and then air-balling a wide open shot against the Bulls in the 1993 Finals. LOL at Dan Majerle.
Wilbon makes a decent point though. Amazing shots no doubt, but yea go watch a shoot around of an Nba team, and all those guys just drain all their shots.
Wilbon is right. You guys don't know how good NBA players really are until you see them shoot around. I heard that Ben Wallace hits 3s all the time during practice. Search for videos of Jason Kapono, Mike Miller, and Juan Carlos Navarro shooting around if you want to see something amazing. There's a video of Dwight Howard hitting 30 free throws in a row on youtube. Howard is a horrible free throw shooter for an NBA player.
