  And didn’t Yinka Dare pass away ???

  I have to admit that I was happy when he left the Mavericks. He should have retired then. Unfortunately he went to the Spurs. It will take years for me to appreciate his game ever again. Haha, I remember when he was considered the Mavericks best defender in the Nellie years. It is nice seeing footage in Reunion Arena again though.

  Horrace Grant and Michael Finley highlight reels? Can you say “reaching”…stay tuned for Vashon Lenard.

  My favourite player ever. Thanks a lot.

• TXLA Posted: Sep.30 at 12:14 pm
  Yo Michael Finley was the man back then, but like my man stated above I had to cut him off when we went to the Spurs!

  Was watching the 96 and 97 dunk contest on nbatv the other day. He had sum pretty good dunks. I had 4gotten all bout those dunks. But I never 4got that cartwheel dunk. I was cracking up like it was 97 all over again. S**t was funny!

  Wow I never realized that he was that type of player, I always think of Finley as a quiet laid back guy who can shoot…my memory only goes as far back as 2001 unfortunately, wish I could have experienced 90′s basketball…

• Elvis Freshly Posted: Sep.30 at 12:51 pm
  Back then him and Ray were totally different players… ferocious dunks.. crazy crossovers and opps… ahhh the 90s

• Overtime Posted: Sep.30 at 1:15 pm
  Underrated, he was a big time player

• Run'n'Gun219 Posted: Sep.30 at 1:42 pm
  Fin doggy dogg- he use to get me hype when i use to watch them suns and mavs games. He carried dirk and Steve”i dindnt deserve 2 MVP” Nash for about 2 years. then he lost his athletism and became a stright shooter. We need a young Ray Allen FOTS.

  One of my favorite players as a teenager. Ferocious slasher and wicked defender.

• Martey Posted: Sep.30 at 2:06 pm
  Explosive and Clutch

• speedy Posted: Sep.30 at 2:40 pm
  With him, Steve and Dirk Dallas would have been NBA Champions at least once.

• Joe_Sixpack Posted: Sep.30 at 2:46 pm
  Mike Fin ome of my favorite players back in the the early 2000s, its easy to forget the player that he once was; but after he left Dallas and went to the Spurs where he played a more reserved role in winning a chip I lost all respect for him, but I still have great memories of him though.

• Elvis Freshly Posted: Sep.30 at 3:26 pm
  Co-sign Run’n'Gun…. DO DAT!

• Saku 39 Posted: Sep.30 at 3:31 pm
  Any video of Finley breaking the rim after a dunk during the Goodwill Games?

• DJ YS Posted: Sep.30 at 3:44 pm
  Big props for this, Finley is my fave player of all-time. His dunks on Utah>>>>

• PlanetAsia14 Posted: Sep.30 at 4:18 pm
  Dang, didn’t know he had ups like that, haha.

• M Cho Posted: Sep.30 at 4:40 pm
  I remember watching Finley in his prime and he could hold his own with any 2 guard out there. Great to see this mix of him dunking on dudes.

• M Cho Posted: Sep.30 at 4:45 pm
  Plus, I remember when Slam did a writeup on him and titled the feature “MF DOOM”. Classic!

• Thegfunk Posted: Sep.30 at 6:15 pm
  Props to schneezy. This section is definately giving me insight into classic pastimes. Didn’t know finley was so vicious at the rim

• sheesh12 Posted: Sep.30 at 6:23 pm
  One of chi-town’s finest… all-time leading scorer at wisconsin… ’nuff said

• JTaylor21 Posted: Sep.30 at 10:42 pm
  Wasn’t there supposed to be a video of him getting all in MJ’s a**; the so-called goat, please.

• Tarzan Cooper Posted: Sep.30 at 10:58 pm
  i clearly remember multiple MONSTER dunks vs dallas in 06 playoffs, what a heartbreaker for him to watch his former team make it to the finals, but they lost, and a year later he got a ring, hooray. finley and van exel were the real clutch guys for dallas

• The Promise Posted: Oct.1 at 12:45 am
  Wow, I forgot he was that good..

• C-Mac Posted: Oct.1 at 5:52 am
  Nice mix, when these vets get older people forget that they used to be the young guns in the league.
  How about Desmond Mason in the next FOTS?

• Josh Posted: Oct.1 at 9:33 am
  I love how he jumps like he is hopping on to a spring box. Nasty.

• lakerslegend Posted: Oct.11 at 6:22 pm
  MIKE HAD A GOOD GAME IN HIS EARLY CAREER VERY GOOD SHOOTER AND HE COULD GO TO THE RIM
