Ha, I was thinkng of Magic or Wilt the Stilt, swishing the basket. When I was in High School, Wilt Chamberlin use to come down and play Volleyball on the beach in Santa Cruz.
Nice memory, great players. 
Although I believe you meant "Nothing but net". 
I can remember going to quite a few Warriors games where the home crowd was chanting "Air ball!" after yet another missed Warriors' shot.

You're probably right, I just remember if you made a hook shot from out in court and it swished through. You would lift your hands up and, go nothin but air, maybe that was being sarcastic.
And at my schools we had to modify it from "Nothing but net" to "Nothing but chain".
"Joey: Wait a minute. I know you. You're Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. You play basketball for the Los Angeles Lakers.
Roger Murdock: I'm sorry, son, but you must have me confused with someone else. My name is Roger Murdock. I'm the co-pilot.
Joey: You are Kareem! I've seen you play. My dad's got season tickets.
Roger Murdock: I think you should go back to your seat now, Joey. Right, Clarence?
Captain Oveur: Nahhhhhh, he's not bothering anyone. Let him stay here.
Roger Murdock: But just remember, my name is...
[showing his nametag]
Roger Murdock: ROGER MURDOCK. I'm an airline pilot.
Joey: I think you're the greatest, but my dad says you don't work hard enough on defense.
[Kareem gets angry]
Joey: And he says that lots of times, you don't even run down court. And that you don't really try... except during the playoffs.
Roger Murdock: [breaking character] The hell I don't! LISTEN, KID! I've been hearing that crap ever since I was at UCLA. I'm out there busting my buns every night! Tell your old man to drag Walton and Lanier up and down the court for 48 minutes!"
We also were able to see the Oakland Raiders come and play our teachers and coaches in basketball,at SLV high. John Madden had a condo at the Boulder Creek golf course and the players would come and hang out with him. Those were some intense games, I remember Art Shell, who could hold the basketball with one hand, getting pissed off. He yelled and slammed the ball on the court, it bounced and hit the roof, very impressive.
GT -
More great stories/memories!
Here we used to ride our bikes down to the El Rancho Hotel where the Raiders had training camp. Somewhere I've got a football signed by many players & coaches - Madden, Biletnikoff, Casper, Guy, Matuszak,...
Did you get their parole officer's signature? That was when the Raiders were great!
Silver and Black badasses, as they should be!

This just went from watch/wish list to cart.
I really don't know what happened with my first 88P (it died without warning the second time I used it), but VIAIR replaced it immediately, with no hassle. The replacement is the one I have now.

After our trip to Death Valley I decided it was time to replace my 30 year old compressor. It has served me well when called upon but didn't have the capability to inflate all four truck tires and therein was the problem.
When we tow we pump up the tires about 5 lbs over recommended pressure to accommodate the increased load. That works well on the pavement but when we went offroad with an empty truck, it made for a very harsh ride. I really wanted to deflate the tires but was concerned I wouldn't be able to inflate them back to where they needed to be for our trip home.
When we returned home, I did some research and settled on the Vlair 88p after reading all the reviews. It's small, quiet but seems to inflate much better than the 30 year old cigarette plug compressor it replaced. I've only been able to test it on a tire that was already inflated to 40 lbs and it pumped that tire up to 45 lbs in about 1 1/2 minutes. That should work well. It also comes with a much longer air hose and that was another selling point. Gotta be able to reach what needs inflating.
Randy,
I also bought two of the 6' extension hoses. That gives me the ability to reach all of the TT tires without unhitching the TV. Very convenient.
Don
That's not a bad idea Don. I thought about hooking it to the trailer batteries but am concerned a prolonged, high amp draw wouldn't be good for my AGMs, especially if boondocking. Those extension hoses aren't that expensive either.
