Ernie/Bernie to be an official 30 for 30 Doc

[Mauler]

Originally slated for the SEC Storied series. But it was so good ESPN switched it to a 30 for 30.

I bet John Ward gets going. Cannot wait.

[maxxgas]

Yes. I cannot wait either. They were my first memories of UT basketball.

[Rudedog]

When?

[Mauler]

Don't know yet. It will be part of the next season that starts in November I think.

[Lone Nut]

Nard is Wayne.

[TNCOWBOY]

And Charley Chase. Or something like that.

Chariel Chas LOL

[Mauler]

Good point. Maybe Walker could be the narrator.

Maybe Bird will be involved. He was definitely a BK fan.

The best thing about having that series over was saying good-bye to Bernard King for the rest of the playoffs. During those playoffs Bernard was automatic---the best scoring machine I have ever seen.

His release was amazing. You’d always seem to come within a fraction of getting a piece of his shot, but he wouldn’t allow it. He always had you off-balance. And the Knicks seemed to go to him every time. We tried to get the ball out of his hands, but we always seemed to be late.

What’s really incredible about what Bernard did in those playoffs was that he was doing it with dislocated fingers on both hands! He seemed to be steering the ball up, shooting it off the bottom of his hands and he’d still get forty.

Awesome.

Couldve went to muliple final fours with that bunch.

[TNCOWBOY]

Probably the most underplayed story in UT sports history is how crappy a coach Mears was.

[TNCOWBOY]

Poor mans Dale Brown. And that's not a good thing.

[Krakow]

looking forward to Bill Simmons ignoring this!

[TNCOWBOY]

I doubt it actually. He's a big Bernie fan.
