Man as someone who watched basketball everyday from late 90s to late 2010s but got busy with my career and with life and missing the last 5 or so years of basketball, this video is HUGE to catch up on what I missed. Having a video on a recap/review of each year of basketball is insanely valuable and I wish there would be a video like this for every year. Thanks for this amazing video. This helped me so much to catch up on what I missed without having to try and figure out through multiple videos on wtf I missed.

He wasn't the friendliest,he wasn't the nicest guy,but he made people around him better. He was such a hard worker,and he demanded the same from people around him and that's incredibly valuable.
