For those of you who think the NBA in the early 80’s was all about Bird and Magic, these guys would like a word.

Best actor of 1980… (A) Vic Tayback in this scene (B) DeNiro in Raging Bull Honestly it’s neck and neck

Wild to think #WhiteShadow episode #TheRussiansAreComing aired four days after "Miracle on Ice," at Lake Placid. No way they could have planned that. Gotta love CJ with the "P-Funk" shout out. (No disrespect to Elton John, but didn't Russian dude realize he was British?)

Ilya is so bummed that Tikhonov pulled Tretiak, he wants to defect? Season 2 #WhiteShadow Episode #TheRussiansAreComing aired four days after "Miracle on Ice." Listen, I'm USA all the way, but you gotta feel for a coach who gets second-guessed, no?

The late night call no coach wants to get. At least Thorpe was okay. The #WhiteShadow episode that was way ahead of its time, with bravura performances from @KevHooks and A Martinez. Season 3, Episode 13, #Cops.

Love it when the kids' parents come to games. The Carver Gym could certainly use some family presence, even if it's Raoul Gomez. #WhiteShadow #TheHitter

It's always better to keep your cool. I learned that with Lucious Robinson. But sometimes, people just... Well, you know. Like my friend, Raoul here. #WhiteShadow #TheHitter

Let's make March 5th International "Shoot The Ball" Day, in honor of our friend, Thomas. #WhiteShadow #Mainstream (Peanut costume not included. IYKYK.)

I’m ready to run 10 laps and hit the showers after watching this!!! Ken Reeves

Belated Happy Birthday to the reason for this account, the great Ken Howard (Born on March 28, 1944). Here's one of his non-White Shadow on-screen stylings, as a guest-star, on Season 1 of "The West Wing."

Hope everyone's enjoying the NCAA Final, between U Conn and Michigan. Brings back memories for me, of the City Championship at Carver.

Maybe high school & college basketball are over, but there are still lessons to be taught.

On the eve of The Masters, thought we'd dig out this Season 2 gem, from the episode "Links." That Marjorie Beardsley was something else, huh?

The closest scoring race in NBA history happened 48 years ago today. After David Thompson scored 73 PTS (28/38 FG), George Gervin needed 58 to win the scoring title. Ice scored 53 in the first half & finished with 63 (23/49 FG, 0 3PTS)

Le Grande Finale, the final episode of Season 1, aired on April 9th, 1979. The season is over, and the guys form a singing group. But Thorpe, seemingly, has other things on his mind.

Ken Reeves Me in 1979: I would love to have one of those jackets. Me in 2026: I would love to have one of those jackets. 🏀🏀🏀🏀🐱

Milton Reese, like you'd never seen him. Happy Heavenly Birthday, Nathan Cook. Don't worry, Reese, that whole Oak Ridge things is forgiven. Now, gimme forty laps and hit the showers. Reese: Why 40 and not 20? Reeves: I said forgiven. Not forgotten.

That time Dr. Crawford helped me with Jackson's alcoholism. Soon, she'd move to Beverly Hills, marry Rush Sanders, and adopt his illegitimate kid. Some guys have all the luck.
