Reggie’s Mailbag: Vol. IV

One silver lining of my mini-sabbatical is that now, in Vol. IV of the always highly anticipated Reggie’s Mailbag, you get not one, but TWO video responses from Mr. Knick Killer himself.

The first one is actually a pretty good question: “Who would win one-on-one: The greatest defender or the best offensive player ever to play the game?”

Reg breaks it down as Bill Russell vs. Roger Murdock aka Lew Alcindor aka Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and he goes with…drumroll please…fellow UCLA grad Kareem. Overlooking the fact that he neglects MJ, it’s hard to dispute his logic.

Question du jour numero dos (I’m a trilinguist) brings us back to contemporaryland to find out who has the NBA’s best bench. Reg gives some token lip service to the Cavs and Cs, but obviously settles on the Lakers, who clearly have the world’s best second unit due to the overwhelming velocity of terror that is my boy Switchblade.

And never forget, you too can ask Uncle Reggie questions such as “Who’s the Asian chick?” by sending them to: reggiesmailbag@turner.com
