The '80s...the best decade

[oldgringo]

The 80s were the decade in which I had the most success in my professional career.
I started it off as co-leader of one of the best "house-bands" in Atlanta....making good bread, getting to record a lot and playing with great musicians. The mid to late 80s found me playing bass and serving as road manager for a R&R HOF vocal group, traveling all over the world, staying at 5 star hotels and ****ing women that could have jumped out of Playboy.
I wish to hell I had not been ripped to the **** through 80% of it! By all reports, I had an outstanding time!

Haha thats hilarious.

they did sweep the Lakers. Moses almost got his fo,fo,fo..but those damn Bucks stole a game in the second round.

Trivia time..starting power forward for that Sixer team?..no cheating.

You got me I don't remember off the top of my head. Whowasit?

They usually get left out becuase they had no longevity. Moses was gone shortly thereafter and the Doctor was old at that point. For a single season, I would stack them up against anyone.

Its so strange how many of the greatest teams ever (Jordans Bulls, Larry Legends 85-86 Celtics, 83 76'ers, Bill Russells Celtics) were Eastern Conference teams...and now the dynamic is so different with the West largely dominating the NBA (besides the Pistons win last year of course).

I think that 83 team would have stacked up with any other team in history too. I'd love to see them play the 88-89 Pistons. That'd be a classic series.

Those Pistons Teams were bad ass. I think the best teams I've ever seen are Lakers and Celtics (forgot exact year) of the mid 80's, Pistons 89 and Sixers 83
