|
|

Rating: - * Men's compression short ... Item as promised. Compression short material is heavier than other shorts I have purchased. Thick elastic waist band. Would recommend as a good buy. Rating: - * Great weekend shorts ... I've bought a few Eastbay items now and I've been pleased with all of them. These shorts are a little baggy (by design)...maybe lose is a better description. I like the length too. Not too short and not silly long. I wish they had pockets, that would the only thing I'd do different next time. Rating: - * Skin Pain Begone! ... If you've noticed that long walks and hiking/jogging just isn't fun due to the pain of your thighs rubbing together, don't hesitate to order a pair of these. I recommend getting a manly color such as green so that you don't feel so strange putting on your "special shorts" before a camping trip. No kidding: these compression shorts put the joy of life back into the outdoors! Rating: - * Eastbay compression shorts ... The product has good quality and it was shipped in an expeditious fashion. Thank you... |

Where the NBA Dynasty series (the other initial entry is the slightly meatier Los Angeles Lakers: The Complete History) outdoes Ultimate Jordan is in the six playoff games--one for each year--as they were originally broadcast, minus halftime and commercials. Having the nearly complete game (usually running 90-100 minutes, from the TV introductions to post-game interviews) means you can skip straight to John Paxson's clutch basket or what was expected to be the final shot of Jordan's career. Or you can savor each game in its entirety, all the better to appreciate the artistry of Jordan in his three-pointer barrage against Portland or his "flu game" against Utah. You can see other great players too, of course, including Jordan's teammates--Scottie Pippen, Horace Grant, Dennis Rodman--and those opponents unfortunate enough to face the Bulls--Clyde Drexler, Charles Barkley, John Stockton, Karl Malone, and others. Because these are all NBA Finals games, you won't see Jordan's shot over Craig Ehlo or his 63-point coming-out party against Boston, but the 1990s Chicago Bulls were a team for the ages, and merely having their games--some of them all-time classics--available for home viewing is a major milestone in archived sports. --David Horiuchi

While last-minute heroics tend to be the standard by which we define excellence, there are many other moments that have left an indelible impression, many of them highlighted here. The video clips fall into 10 categories: Dunks, Alley-oops, Assists, Steals, Blocks, Teamwork, the Clutch Shot, Moves, Hustle, and Buzzer-Beaters. At the beginning of each section is a brief introduction. Before showing the top 10 dunks of all time, for example, we learn about the evolution of the dunk--from the first slam to the man who could fly, Michael Jordan--and we hear background commentary from NBA legends such as Magic Johnson, Charles Barkley, Dr. J, and Bill Russell. This video recalls familiar moments of NBA lore that you will want to own for countless repeat viewings. --Jeremy Storey
