Man did this video bring back some sweet memories. Tom Chambers is one of my All Time Favorite Players. He was like a more athletic
Larry Bird but not as good of an overall player. Still a 4 time all star and it should have been more apperarances than that. The guy could
just dominate a game on offense. The video talked about his Suns All Time Single Game Scoring Record of 60 points. He also had a game
a few weeks prior to that where he scored 56 points. I'm shocked he is not in the NBA Hall of Fame yet! Hopefully very soon. He was and
still is a legend. HIs nickname was "Tommy Gun" Chambers as he loved to shoot and could score at will. :)

Watching Tom Chambers is electrifying. Seems like a snub for The Hall. Watching highlights of young phenom Cooper Flagg, I seem a lot of Chambers in his game.

Cooper Flagg is a good comparison. Also Keith Van Horn and there are others. Chambers & Van Horn were both 6'10 and Flagg is 6'8
but all 3 are high flying scoring machines. The difference is that Cooper Flagg can also be an all defensive team guy. The guys swats
away shots like a human fly swatter and with his speed and coordination he gets so many steals. Complete All Around Superstar in the making!

I remember Chambers and Van Horn well. Chambers was as athletic a basketball player as I've ever seen.

Him and Tom gugliotta were the two most athletic white big men of that era in my opinion. I liked van horn too, but I’d put him as third. I don’t watch the nba anymore but I did back then, and they were always fun to watch.

Also there was a mid 90s basketball video game which you could play them in and they always did well. I don’t remember the name because I didn’t own it myself. Ah memories.

Hopefully Flagg picks up where they left off.
