1990 Chicago Bulls Starting Lineup (Tommy Edwards Edition - Better Quality)
January 23, 1990 - The true architect of the most famous basketball introduction in the world is none other than Tommy Edwards, who served as the Chicago Bulls' P.A. announcer for 25 years. Edwards, a DJ at Chicago's WLS, initially experimenting with using Michael Jackson's "Thriller" and the theme to Miami Vice to introduce the Bulls in the mid-80's. The Alan Parsons Project's "Sirius" took hold later in the decade, first identified by Williams as a potential starting lineup candidate during a night out at the Biograph Theater. Edwards, it turned out, never got to see his baby grow into a worldwide phenomenon firsthand. He departed from the Bulls in March 1990, less than two months following his Jan. 23 performance shown above. With Edwards heading east to take over as program director of a CBS-owned radio station in Boston, the Bulls hired Ray Clay to finish out the 1989-90 season. Despite the blacked out Sirius starting lineup being Edwards' baby (including the phrase, "the man in the middle"), it was Clay who'd foster and grow the routine into a spectacle over the course of six Chicago Bulls championships throughout the 1990's. Clay held onto the Bulls' P.A. position until 2002 and in 2006, Edwards returned to Chicago, serving as the Bulls' P.A. announcer for 13 more years, retiring in 2019.

How Bronny James Can Be The Next Kawhi Leonard @shocktheculturetv | Bronny James | NBA | NBA Draft
Bronny James walked to the podium for his 20-minute media availability Tuesday night at the NBA Draft Combine to over 20 cameras and 30 reporters. This has been the norm for his life ever since he was 14 years old, with cameras lining the baseline at every single one of his games and people following his every move. It all comes with being the oldest son of one of the greatest to ever play the game, LeBron James. "It’s a lot and it’s built me into a stronger individual," Bronny James said. "All of this, I’m extremely grateful, but it’s a lot sometimes. I don’t ever want to be that guy and say that all this pressure is what’s compelling me to not perform as well. It’s something that I have to deal with and it’s been present my whole life." James was one of 78 players invited to participate in the NBA Draft Combine this week. The list of participants are voted on by NBA scouts and executives based on who they want to see during the pre-draft process. "I’m extremely grateful to be here and given the opportunity to be here," James said. "I’m just trying to showcase my best work that I’ve been putting in after the season and just take it all in." The combine kicked off on Monday with measurements, agility testing and shooting drills. James took the court with the last group of the day. He looked visibly stronger compared to the college season and in great shape. His official measurements came in at 6-foot-1 1/2 (without shoes), 210.4 pounds and a 6-7 1/4 wingspan. The first portion of the agility testing was the vertical jump, and he recorded a 40.5 max, the third-best score of the combine. After the agility testing it was time to hit the court for a handful of shooting drills, 3-on-3 drills and pick-and-roll reps. Bronny started off slow, trying to find his rhythm like most players throughout the day. It wasn't until the 3-point star drill (25 shots running from all five spots on the court continuously) when he really started to shine. He made 12 in a row, not missing a 3-ball in a full 1:15, and went 19-for-25, finishing in second place behind UConn's Alex Karaban, who hit 21-of-25 attempts. Bronny supported the other players in his group when they were going through drills, took feedback from the coaches and never once looked out of place. NBA scouts and executives left the first day of drills impressed with his 3-point shooting and intrigued by him as a legit NBA prospect. "It's clear he understands the NBA game," one NBA scout told Yahoo Sports. "He still has a long way to go, but the college game is vastly different from the NBA, and he has a skillset that translates." Bronny averaged only 4.8 points and 2.1 assists during his freshman season at USC. He sat out the first half of the season while recovering from cardiac arrest and heart surgery and looked like a shell of himself as he tried to get back into game shape and adjust to a new system and teammates. The Trojans finished with a disappointing 15-18 record with no one really playing well all season. When Bronny declared for the draft, many voiced their opinions on social media, saying he should return to school, he's not ready and he's only being considered because of who his dad is. LeBron has said numerous times that he wants to end his career playing alongside his son, which drew deeper criticism of Bronny's game and added pressure for the 19-year-old. "I obviously see everything that’s been thrown my way, but I just have to shrug it off," Bronny said. "They haven’t seen what I’ve been through or anything like that, so I just continue to believe in myself and keep putting in the work." It would be one thing if he showed up to the combine, completely bombed on testing and continually got beat on the court, but that's not happening. Bronny is competing at a high level and showing he's coachable. Every scout and executive in the building can see how his game will translate to the NBA, regardless of who his dad is. "Everything that follows my dad, people just try to link me with that and all the greatness he’s achieved and I haven’t done anything yet," Bronny said. "So there needs to be that divide between Bronny and LeBron. I just want to let people know that my name is Bronny James and not being identified as LeBron James’ son." #nba #basketball #lebronjames #bronnyjames #nbadraft #nbacombine

Sixers' Leadership Conundrum Is Joel Embiid Truly the Championship Caliber Leader
The Philadelphia 76ers need someone to step up as the clear leader and elevate Joel Embiid as their Robin to Batman. That's the winning formula. "I'm frustrated with the Sixers and their unwavering belief in Joel Embiid as their leader to secure a championship. It baffles me why they can't see it. He's just not the guy. If we had another player on the team who was the clear leader, someone we could visibly identify as the team's leader, and Joel was more of the Robin to their Batman, then maybe I could accept it. The Batman would elevate Robin emotionally, psychologically, mentally, and even physically, leading them to a championship. That's what Joel Embiid needs." -- Irving Fryar on Philadelphia 76ers superstar Joel Embiid Like, Comment and Subscribe for more! www.youtube.com/a2dradio Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/a2dradio Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/a2dradio X: https://twitter.com/a2dradio Website: http://a2dradio.com/ _____________________________________________ Thank you for your support!
