I don't think he knew what side of the crib he was on when Kareem played.

I was 8-9 years old when he retired, and they didn't show a lot of NBA games here in Italy anyway. I used to watch clips from Magic, he was my hero, i wanted to be like him. You know.. the era of the ugly purple t-shirts with a stamp of MJ on them.. Let's say I grew up with Ewing, Robinson, Hakeem, that generation. Then Shaq, Zo, etc.. those ones i've really seen playing full games. Hakeem was been the first Center i've really respected and loved in my life. He was the shit. Shaq i didn't like him when he was a Magic. I started to like him with Phil Jackson, to tell you the truth. But he was impressive in the 3-peat. And David.. well.. i've always respected him.

Same thing with me, well besides the whole living in Italy part and wanting to be like Kareem. First basketball game I have ever seen was a Lakers/Celtics finals. I don't remember what year but I was in Memphis at my grandparents house. Hell, I think the game was tape delayed!

But if you watched tape of Magic, then Kareem was pretty much always right by his side...If you haven't seen enough tape of Kareem, do so now!
