My favorite Bob Knight moment: listen to him explain why Michael Jordan is the best basketball player he’s ever seen BEFORE MJ had even played in one NBA game. Talk about a hot take. Forty years later and it’s still fucking smoking.
@Super70sSports Thanks for sharing. Both absolute legends. But one is now gone. 😢
@Super70sSports Wow. Yeah that was an incredible assertion about a young Jordan. Knight was spot-on right.
@Super70sSports RIP, Bobby Knight. I’ll miss Coach. He wasn’t perfect. I know today’s ‘latest poll’ considers his style offensive—even abhorrent. But I’m a Gen X’er. Raised by a military man. Guys like Knight & my Dad were tough SOBs. But they were HONEST and KIND underneath a tough exterior.
@Super70sSports His friendship with Don Haskins was legendary. Swapping their clothes Dec ‘89. Don wore his sweater and Bob wore the clip in tie.
@Super70sSports This guy was a lowlife. Abusive loser. How he had any admirers defies reason.
