Vigesimocuarto programa dedicado a la temporada 1985-86 de la NBA en el que continuamos el repaso de la fase regular de todos los equipos. En este analizamos a los Utah Jazz; tanto las expectativas como el desarrollo del curso, los movimientos en la plantilla, el ataque y la defensa, los jugadores, las estadísticas individuales y colectivas, y algunas curiosidades. Llegaba a la franquicia el entonces debutante Karl Malone, quien formaría con el ya integrante de la plantilla John Stockton la pareja mítica. Aunque en este curso el más destacado del equipo fue Adrian Dantley, de nuevo uno de los mejores en ataque de la liga. En defensa eran excelentes gracias al enorme Mark Eaton. El entrenador, Frank Layden, tuvo que lidiar con la lesión de Darrell Griffith, quien se perdió todo el curso. Rickey Green continuó siendo importante en el puesto de base y Bobby Hansen cumplió como escolta titular. Por su parte, Thurl Bailey perdió algo de protagonismo. Hablamos sobre todo lo anterior y mucho más. ------ Contacto y redes: - iVoox (Era baloncesto): https://www.ivoox.com/podcast-era-baloncesto_sq_f1687000_1.html - XLS con todos los audios: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1k9YiJkMkIMwONwX1onZZTBHBffYVtnlgT2oBebypG0A - Twitter: @erabaloncesto - YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@erabaloncesto - Blog: https://erabaloncesto.home.blog - erabaloncesto@gmail.com ------ Sintonía: - Cornflowers (Dee Yan-Key): freemusicarchive.org/music/Dee_Yan-Key/Vacation_Days/01-Dee_Yan-Key-Cornflowers ------ Creado y presentado por José Manuel Gómez y Manuel Álvarez López.

University of Iowa star Caitlin Clark may be the best college basketball player this season. This season she is without a doubt the most well known. She is one the verge of surpassing a record that most basketball historians felt would never be broken. Clark is set to surpass Pete Maravich as college basketball's all-time leading scorer, a record set back in 1970. In this episode of Historically Speaking Sports, we will take a look back at the college career of the man they called "Pistol Pete". A player that averaged more than 40 points per game in a time in college basketball that freshmen were not allowed to play varsity, no shot clock and no three pointers. Later in the show we will send a shout out to the very first NBA Dunk Contest that took place 40 years ago in McNicholls Arena in Denver. The contest featured some of the most iconic dunkers in basketball history including Julius Erving, Dominque Wilkins, Clyde Drexler and Darrell Griffith. Yet the competition was won by a little known forward of the Phoenix Suns at the time that was known as the "Flying Sun" or "The Slambassador" or "The High-Attolla of Slamola" But is is best remembered for being the backbone of the one of the most snake-bit teams in the late 1980's.

The Golden Griff! Darrell Griffith, the highest draft pick in Jazz history, talks to JP Chunga about his early years - dunking at the park in Louisville, Kentucky.
Jazz-Pistons was for the sickos. JP gives a quick thought on Utah's win in Detroit before talking to Rickey Green. Rickey, dubbed "The Fastest of Them All" by Hot Rod Hundley, was THE point guard for Frank Layden's run-and-gun system. He was one of the first players acquired to help turn around the struggling Jazz. Hear Green dish on his former teammates (Mark Eaton, Darrell Griffith, and Adrian Dantley) plus describe his journey from the CBA back to the NBA.
What went into the move to Utah? JP Chunga examines the move that introduced Frank Layden to the community. He drafted Darrell Griffith, Mark Eaton, and Thurl Bailey. He traded for Adrian Dantley. And he signed Rickey Green. All of those players would feature in the franchise's first playoff run - a magical team that would be remembered as The Team with Heart.

Vigesimosexto programa dedicado a la temporada 1984-85 de la NBA en el que continuamos el repaso de la fase regular. Analizamos a los Utah Jazz; tanto sus expectativas como el desarrollo del curso, los movimientos en la plantilla, su ataque y defensa, los jugadores, las estadísticas individuales y colectivas, y algunas curiosidades. Ligero retroceso a nivel deportivo, en parte provocado por los líos con Adrian Dantley (contrato) y John Drew (drogas). Mark Eaton se confirmó como quizá el mejor defensor interior de la liga, Darrell Griffith seguía con su evolución de cañonero, Thurl Bailey fue a más, Rickey Green formó con Stockton una pareja de bases portentosa; además, Frank Layden puso su maestría y buen humor desde el banquillo.

NCAA Championship finalist, NBA / CBA veteran and broadcaster, Michael Holton. High School: Pasadena, California Michael was a great player in high school. As a senior (1979), he averaged 27 points per game. He discusses his fondest memories of playing high school basketball. Fifteen years later – when Michael entered the coaching ranks – he’d reunite with his high school coach, George Terzian. Michael also talks about his decision to sign with the UCLA Bruins. College: University of California, Los Angeles | Years: 1979-80 – 1982-83 Michael was a starter as a freshman and was named the Bruins’ outstanding first-year player. He recalls his initial fear of perhaps not being good enough to succeed on the next level – that fear was quickly allayed. After winning only eight of the first 14 games, the Bruins caught fire at the perfect time; steamrolling through the 1980 NCAA Tournament, all the way to the Championship Game versus the Louisville Cardinals. For perspective, here’s the list of teams that UCLA defeated and some of the big-time players Michael encountered: Old Dominion (Mark West) / DePaul (Terry Cummings & Mark Aguirre) / Ohio State (Kelvin Ransey & Clark Kellogg) / Clemson (Larry Nance & Mitchell Wiggins) / Purdue (Joe Barry Carroll). In the 1980 Championship game, UCLA lost 59-54. The Cardinals were littered with future-NBA players: Darrell Griffith, Derek Smith, Rodney McCray & Jerry Eaves. Michael reflects on that amazing run to the final. Holton’s freshman season was the senior year for Kiki VanDeWeghe – who went on to star in the NBA, notching-up seven seasons of 20-plus points per game in the 1980s – Michael talks about the importance influence of the Bruins’ junior and senior players. As a sophomore in 1981 (outright) and junior in 1982 (tied with Ralph Jackson), Michael was named the Bruins’ Outstanding Team Player. UCLA made the second round of the 1981 NCAA Tournament, but missed the post-season in 1982. Former guests and friends of the show, Mark Eaton and Nigel Miguel, joined the Bruins around this time, too. Michael talks about the transition from (coaches) Larry Brown to Larry Farmer. As a senior, Michael was named captain and led the team in free-throw percentage. His college career ended (1983) with a second-round exit to the Utah Utes. After reaching the title game as a freshman, Michael contrasts his feelings about exiting the tournament early (as a senior). NBA / CBA career | Years: 1983-84 – 1991-92 We discuss the 1983 Draft. Michael’s opportunity to play in the NBA would have to wait one season. After Golden State waived him (October, 1983), he signed with the Coquis; the Continental Basketball Association’s (CBA) newly-minted expansion franchise. The Coquis made it to the playoffs, before bowing out to Phil Jackson’s Albany Patroons in the semi-finals. In late September of 1984, Michael signed with the Phoenix Suns as a free agent – joining former Bruins teammates, Mike Sanders and Rod Foster. Holton recalls the step-up from Puerto Rico to the Suns. His Suns met the would-be NBA Champion, L.A. Lakers, in the first round (0-3) of the 1985 Playoffs. As he displayed throughout our chat, Michael has a great sense of humor, regaling his first taste of playoff basketball. After a 0-4 start to season, Phoenix waived Holton. He returned to the CBA and played a key role – scoring 13 points – leading his CBA All-Star team to a 110-108 win over defending champs, Tampa Bay, in Florida. That was February 11, 1986. Michael details the wonderful background behind his meeting with the Chicago Bulls’ VP of Operations, Jerry Krause, moments after the aforementioned CBA game. Holton signed the first of two 10-day contracts with the Bulls – he’d later sign with the team for the rest of the season. Michael Holton joined the Bulls franchise at a fascinating time in its history. Michael Jordan had broken his foot in just the third game of the season; he hoped to make an on-court return before season’s end. Holton’s future with the Bulls was largely dependent on Jordan’s injury rehabilitation. He shares unique insight into his early interactions with not only his new teammates, but his practice-court battles with a young Air Jordan. We discuss the details behind an incredible promotional poster – Raging Bulls – that Michael appeared on. When Michael was left off the Bulls’ (1986) post-season roster – to make way for Jawann Oldham – he accepted an offer to play overseas for the Great Taste Coffee Makers, in the Philippine Basketball Association. He enjoyed considerable success in a short span – including two 40-plus point games. Michael signed as a veteran free agent with the Blazers, in August of 1986. He joined the team for its Summer League games in Los Angeles. In one of those games, he scored 37 points against his former team, the Phoenix Suns. The Trail Blazers’ Mike Schuler, replaced the legendary Dr. Jack Ramsay. In his first season (1987) at the helm, Schuler led the Blazers to a 49-33 record – the best effort for a Portland team since the 1978 campaign – and won Coach of the Year honors. Holton’s second season with the Blazers resulted in an even-better regular season (53-29). His responsibilities also increased significantly as he became a trusted part of the rotation. Michael discussed his increased role with the team and some of the all-time Blazer greats that he played with, including Clyde Drexler and Terry Porter. As one of the (Blazers) players left unprotected for the (June 23, 1988) NBA Expansion Draft, Michael was picked by a new franchise – the Charlotte Hornets. He was selected sixth by the Hornets (12th overall), who alternated picks with the other new franchise – the Miami Heat. We chat about the build-up to the Hornets’ NBA debut and how the city at-large, immediately fell in love with the new franchise. The new franchise’s amazing fans ensured that Charlotte Coliseum would be packed to the rafters. The Hornets led the league in attendance in eight of its first 10 seasons – they were in second place, the other two occasions. Holton started at point-guard in Charlotte’s first 60 games and arguably had his best NBA season in 1989, averaging 8.3 points, 6.3 assists and one steal per game, in just over 25 minutes per contest. Michael required back surgery prior to the start of the 1990 season. After an 8-32 start, Coach Harter was replaced by Gene Littles. He steered the team to an 11-31 finish, as the Hornets ended the season at 19-63. Holton only managed 16 games in total and didn’t return to the court until late February (1990). He talks openly about his recovery from surgery, watching from the sidelines as the team really struggled, and the franchise’s expectations of his return. Three days shy of the start to the 1991 season, Charlotte waived Michael. Michael finished his playing career with stops in the CBA. First, with the Tulsa Fast Breakers and then, the expansion Tri-City Chinook. He reflects on how his on-court career played out, including his last attempt to make it back to the NBA. Michael transitioned into coaching, not long after retiring as a player. Following stints in high school and two seasons with Oregon-based colleges, he returned to UCLA – this time as an assistant coach and recruiting coordinator. The team enjoyed great success (1996 through 2001). Michael talks about what it was like to return to the Bruins, almost 15 years after he left the school as a player. We also talk about Michael’s tenure as head coach at the University of Portland. He left the Pilots in 2006, after five seasons. He shares his thoughts on leading the team and highlights from the journey. NBA great, Terry Porter – Holton’s former teammate on the Blazers – was recently named head coach at the University of Portland. We briefly talk about the task ahead of Terry, as the upcoming season approaches. These days, Michael works for the Portland Trail Blazers’ broadcasting team. Recently, he teamed up with his former (UCLA and NBA) teammate, Mike Sanders, for a camp in the Czech Republic – part of the Michael Holton Basketball Academy. He talks about the importance of giving back to the community. I ask Michael to recall “The Game I’ll Never Forget”. Our conversation concludes with a brief discussion about the significance of the jersey numbers that Michael wore throughout his career. People mentioned in this episode, include: Sidney Green, John Paxson, Kyle Macy & Gene Banks.

We were fortunate to have access to the game DVDs, giving us plenty of topics and moments to talk about. In our first game for discussion, the Bulls travel to the storied Boston Garden. Next, we chat about the L.A. Clippers' stop in Chicago - their sole trip to the Windy City, for the season. We conclude by covering another home game, this time, against the visiting Jazz of Utah. Aside from a focus on Jordan's burgeoning career, we cover numerous sub-plots, individual milestones, amusing moments and minutiae from both games. This episode continues our coverage of the 1984-85 NBA season. We encourage your interaction. Feel free to suggest specific games, moments and events from within the season, for us to cover in future episodes of the series. Thanks for taking the time to listen to the show.
