The best part of the show was watching the practice and seeing the quality of bigs Al had,  Chones, McNeil, Lackey, Lucas, pretty impressive. Tp bad there was a freshman rule
back then, and secondly, I think Jim Chones was the only player ever to leave school during the season, what was Al thinking, he could have waited till the end of the year.  Stupid.

This was definitely cool, but the 1st part, the tapes of the game at Loyola and the practices, I had definitely seen before.

Little Louie wanted to sign Chones with "anticipation" of an impending NBA/ABA merger, starting with some inter-league play--to amp up the team's value in a merger.  So, the sentiment from those in the know was that salaries were going to return to normal levels (restricted) if a merger occurred...so the Nets were willing to overpay at that time, and Al was doing the dealing for JC who had no agent.  The Nets had reached the ABA Finals in 71-72, the year before, so they had been succesful, but NY already had the Knicks, and there was worry of ABA team contraction in a merger.  It was a SJU brokered deal.

I thought the same thing. The only thing I did t recall was some of the locker room stuff, but being billed as never seen before--looked like I had seen it before.

Do you honestly think that Chones, with Al acting as his advisor, didn't ask that the offer be put on hold until after the season (3 weeks)? Blame the Nets for making an immediate or cancel now or never offer. Don't blame Jim for taking it.

It was in the Wiki some place but cannot find it now, but you can go here (Al's piece is at 35:55)...done by the same production house who did "Hoop Dreams", btw.

Al's ride was sweet!

Al told Chones to leave with the famous 'My fridge is full' quote...

When star forward Jim Chones became one of the first underclassmen to go pro, McGuire shrugged and said, "I looked in my fridge, and it was full. I looked in Jim's, and it was empty. Easy choice."

The Mediaburn link still works for me....try starting the video and then use the sliding scale to move/skip to 35:55....the segment is called "Sports-Action Profiles".

Maybe it just doesn't work on Macs?  No video is coming up yet I here the sound.
