How many can you name?
I knew the 7 in the back + the coach
(Looked up the front 3)
If you can't name at least 2 we need to have a talk

I'm not a basketball guy
Michael Jordan #23 NC
Guess we need to chat brother cuz that's all I got lol
Unless Patrick Ewing is in the back for the Hoyas I got 2 😂😂😂
6 of the 7 standing were pretty easy right off the bat and I knew of the coach in his later years. 2 of the remaining 4 (back left corner/bottom center) I've definitely heard of before but the final two are complete unknowns to me. I was just 9yrs old at this time and the only basketball I was watching then that I remember was mostly Celtics games.

5 for sure… the two Tar Heels, Houston, Oklahoma, and loved watching that St. John’s dude play.
6…. I remember the Kentucky guy now
7 of the 10 were all in the top 10 picks of the 1984 NBA draft.

you may not recognize them but i guarantee you know more than Jordan
we'll give it a day or so to let everyone play then we'll post the names

basketball was my jam in the early/mid 80s, but i couldn't name the front 3.
the guy from Louisville was on the tip of my tongue but never rolled off, the guy front center (Cal St Fullerton) i remembered from his NBA days, and the dude from Georgia i had never heard of before
if anyone can name any of those 3 i'll be highly impressed

MJ, Chris Mullin, Sam Bowie, Sam Perkins, Leon Wood, Hakeem Olajuwon, off the top of my head.
The others I will have to think about.
Alvin Robertson and Waymon Tisdale.
4 guys in the back, L to R: Melvin Turpin (committed suicide), Hakeem Olajuwon, Sam Bowie (infamously drafted ahead of Michael Jordan), Sam Perkins
3 guys in front of them, L to R: Jordan, Wayman Tisdale (died 15 years ago), Chris Mullin
Coach: Lou Carnesecca (will turn 100 on January 5)
3 in front of him, L to R: James Banks, Leon Wood (NBA ref for 28 years), Lancaster Gordon

Thanks Galaxy….. being a KU fan I’ll never forget Tisdale, he was a beast at OU even as a freshman. Maybe the two best college freshmen I’ve ever seen were him and Carmelo Anthony.
Oh and Danny Manning! 😆
