When people hear the word throwback they immediately get an
image of some legendary player back in the days when an athlete’s heroic feats
were captured either in black-and-white footage or that grainy technicolor

time envisioning the exploits of Bob Cousy, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, or even
Michael Jordan and Larry Bird, at least not for the purposes of this story.
