Dale Ellis was a shooting fool!! Shoutout to one of the greatest shooters of all time.

I can't get enough of watching oldschool bball. This is back when every team and player had their own unique style. Ellis Reggie and Mullin were shooters, MJ Clyde Nique were super athletic wings, Dream Ewing Robinson were do it all bigs with their own unique skills. Today everybody plays the same, step back 3's dribble a hundred times high pick and roll etc. Makes many of the games boring to watch.
