Goose-stepping down memory lane ...
Rather than me rambling on in other topics about stuff that doesn't relate, I thought I'd start my own to discuss with others all the great (and not so great) Sixers memories. And I'm pretty sure I'm gonna have to space my responses out, or I'll end up taking up the whole thread! Does anyone else remember ...
The Al Green goose-step.
Just when you thought he couldn't run any faster, he'd do his goose-step stride and whooosh he's off!
The Darryl Pearce inbound shuffle.
He was warned by the ref not to move from that spot on the sideline on the inbound pass. So what does he do? Moves again ... and we lose a crucial possession.
The Orlando Phillips last gasp game winner.
Ken Cole getting suspended for giving the Sydney Supersonics crowd the finger. Then later his suspension for ummm inhaling?
Ken Cole's pimp daddy bling bling outfits. So much snake skin, fur and diamonds!
The woman booed off for trying to incorporate "far out" into the national anthem for retro week.
Kevin Brooks' shooting style.
It was all arms and elbows, and never looked pretty, but when it went in the crowd went wild.
Paul Rees' three point shots.
See above.
And Apollo stadium memories ...
The quadruple overtime game between the Boomers vs Big East. Boomers won because the Americans refused to take the court for the final seconds of the game.
The crowd seated on the stage, holding up signs and waving behind the basket to distract free throw takers. I particularly remember someone holding up a round target and spinning it to hypnotise the shooter, and also someone dangling a rubber chicken hehe.
Jeff Hayes and John Wesley (R.I.P.) often dropping 50points for the Buffaloes (SEABL - feeder league for NBL).
That's all for now, more to come I'm sure.
