The year was 1988. Short-shorts were still in and Kenny Rogers could get NBA stars to show up at his “Classic Weekend.” There’s no way he’d get today’s equivalent of Michael Jordan, Larry Bird, and Dominique Wilkins to show up at an event like this, even if it was being carried by the league’s broadcast partner.

Kenny Rogers juked Jordan with the pump-fake? That’s worse than the time Justin Timberlake served Kenny Smith. At least Timberlake was young and in shape. The Gambler’s 50 in this video. And even though Larry Legend’s team won, that was still an embarrassing shot that got stuck in the rafters.
