I remember 1996 like it was 15 years ago. Yup, good ole MCMXCVI was a pretty fascinating year. Atlanta hosted the Olympic games, Bill Clinton was elected President, M.C. Hammer filed for bankruptcy and Timothy Leary passed away.
That same year in East Rutherford, New Jersey on June 26. The Dallas Mavericks selected some Canadian kid that could dunk with his off-hand by the name of Steve Nash, he turned out to be pretty good. MCMXCVI, you were a sneaky one.
