@WobblinGoblin1 4 года назад

Before the internet was a thing, this dunk truly lived in mythology. Every now and then you'd talk to somebody who supposedly had seen it on a highlight reel and by the description, you'd have thought Chambers almost hit his head on the rafters, not the rim. The first time I saw it, I almost didn't believe what I saw. Great video, btw.

But him getting dunked on like that by chambers will forever stand with him. When Mark met Tom after 20 years, he handled himself pretty well. This was interesting. I am now a subscriber.

There were 8 teams on that game. And out of the 8 superstars that had signature moves, Tom Chambers is the only player on the game who can't miss when he does his signature move. The other superstars in Bird, Thomas, Jordan, Barkley, Magic, Drexler, and Robinson all could miss their moves.

His points aren't of much consequence in the larger discussion. He was a magnificent ballplayer by all metrics. If the NBA had a HoF, I'm sure he'd already be in it. But Springfield is all of basketball. Maybe that's the reason. Maybe nobody put him on the ballot.

It is exaggerated though about how good the Suns and Knicks were. This was the year of the Bad Boys winning the first championship.

The Suns were a nice story, but never really title contenders.

To TC24, and everybody who reads my comment: I want you to know this about me, so that you can understand where, when and how I grew up, and why I think the way I do about things: I was born in Seattle in 1973, where I grew up. A Sonics and Blazers fan. Japanese-American (which shows you HOW I grew up). I HATED how Tom Chambers KILLED the Blazers! Being 5'10", which is very average height, but going to church around other Japanese-Americans, I was one of the taller ones. Therefore, I tried to play a "Tom Chambers type of game." Ball-Handling: B. Put the ball on the floor well for a man his size.
