Karate Illustrated, circa 1970-somethingAt last night’s Draft Lottery taping at the NBA Entertainment Studios in Secaucus, N.J, the Dime crew was rubbing elbows with everyone from Dwyane Wade to Pat Riley to Larry Bird to Jay-Z. Still, one of the most entertaining parts of the night was when we spent a good 10 minutes staring at some of the walls in the building, which are decorated with images of tons of magazine covers from around the world featuring NBA players past and present. While it was weird seeing stuff like 18-year-old LeBron actually looking like a kid, the Phoenix Suns’ Indiana Hoosier-ish warm-up pants from the ’70s, and one ridiculous cover of Dr. J actually wearing medical scrubs and “operating” on a basketball, this Karate Illustrated cover featuring Bruce Lee and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar was too funny.

@Dapro in the original version that Bruce had intended to film, yes he was supposed to be light sensitive, which is why he wore the shades. Unfortunately, in the version that everyone has seen is a terribly reshot and redone film by Raymond Chow made soley to profit from the man’s name. The only part of that movie that is somewhat true is the last 15-20 mins, the last fight scene. That last battle though is pretty much worth the crappy movie.

kareem actually trained jun fan gung foo and later studied the jeet kun do philosophies created by bruce.
as for shaq, he is a beast, he is a brown belt in gracie jiu jitsu under royce gracie, that is pretty scary. that guy will f a man up with little issue and it has nothing to do with size. (although that is a bonus)
bruce was actually an amazing martial artist and athlete and even if he lived today he would give some of the greatest fighters in the world a run. it is to bad he got mixed up in some real BS movies and all that crap.

Enter the Dragon was better. As great a fighter as he was, Bruce Lee was maligned by many of his contemporaries for selling out. The quality of his movies were not really his fault, he got bad advice. For all your tough talk, he still probably would go Kung Fu Panda on your @sses.
