Some forget The Greatest College basketball team Ever! The 1990 and 1991 UNLV Runnin’ Rebels

It's easy for me to remember The UNLV Runnin Rebels they where my favorite college team back in the late 80's early 90s. They where the most dominent team of that era and as far as im concerned ever! They were, by far, one of the best and most feared teams in college basketball, then and ever since. They included Greg Anthony running the show, Stacey Augmon as their defensive specialist, Anderson Hunt as a deadly shooter, and, of course, Dallas’ own Larry Johnson.
Simply put, it was the first time I watched basketball, saw two teams in warm-ups, and knew a game was over before it even started.
In a 34-game span, they won by an average, AN AVERAGE, of 27.3 points per game. They would smash on people in the Big West Conference, smash on folks in the bigger conferences, so either way you looked at it, they were the real deal.
Their swagger was that authentic; they were just that gangsta. The orchestrator of this collection of talent was Tark the Shark, Jerry Tarkanian. He was able to get the most out of all his players, allowing them to hoop and play at a pace that flustered, frustrated, and pretty much pissed off all their opponents, and even when the mainstream would hate on them, he had his player’s backs. Nolan Richardson, the former Arkansas Razorbacks legend, says UNLV is the best team he’s ever seen, and is not sure that anyone else is even close.
UNLV destroyed Duke in the title game in 1990, but came up short in the semi-final the next year even after going undefeated all season. To this day, I’m convinced UNLV lost that game, partly because they didn’t take Duke seriously.

Here is a little highlight video for those of you who where not old enough to remember or never heard of the great Larry johnson and the runnin rebels.
