rookie / old timers game]

     Although I think the rookie all star game is a good thing for All star
     weekend, I used to enjoy the old timers game and always looked
     foreword to seeing Larry and Magic go at it one more time.  Maybe they
     can reassemble the mid 80's Celtics and Lakers. There are a few old
     players that could still compete with other old guys,heck look at
     George Foreman! What about McHale, DJ, Ainge, and on the other side
     Abdul Jabar, Cooper, Worthy and you could always throw in some other
     guys from other teams to even things out. Granted there are a few guys
     that might not be physically not able to make it, Bird? definitely
     Walton.
     But who knows?

     Any thoughts?

I think they should reassemble the Celtics and Lakers and let 'em play some
of today's squads... You think even now the 1986 C's could not beat Lister
et al? After all, DJ still kicks butt when he practices with the team, from
what I've read.

Reminds me of the old joke (in one of its many variations): A reporter asks
Ted Williams (or whomever) what his average would be if he were hitting
against today's pitching. He replies. ".280." The reporter says, "Only
.280?" He answers, "Well, you have to remember, I'm 60 years old!"
