Duke vs. Kentucky, 1992 East Regional final, on ESPN Classic now

FYI. About to tip off.

 

That motherfucking Christian Laettner cost me MAJOR coin.

Or would it be "fatherfucking"? At any rate ... GUARD THE INBOUNDS PASS, PITINO!

Watched that game on a 12-inch B&W TV at the college rag.

When I saw the ball get to Laettner cleanly, I said to the guy with me, "Death."

No doubt in my mind he was going to make that shot. None.

 

Shot perfect for that game, didn't he?

10-10 from the field, 10-10 from the line for an even 30?

 

Best game I've ever seen.

You've never heard an 18-year-old kid curse as loud or as much as I did when Laettner hit that shot. Even my father told me to keep it down.

 

It was on a couple days ago too. Got there just in time for CL's shot.

That was about a year before I really started following sports as a youngin, so it was kinda cool watching the "broadcast."

 

How do you not front the big guy on the inbounds? Jeez.

 

In more important Classic broadcasting news,

Saturday, 1 p.m.

AMERICAN GLADIATORS MARATHON!!!

 

Better if they showed the game but used Cawood Ledford's audio.

RIP, Cawood.

 

And all sports guys in my shop call in sick on Saturday.

 

Who's the big guy on Kentucky's bench who looks like a young Cal Thomas playing a 1980s porn star playing a college basketball scrub?

 

You mean Gimel Martinez?



He and his sister moved in across the street from me when I was in HS. His sister was WAY hotter than he was.
