I believe that the Harwood Classics are DVD releases of old VHS catalog titles, but the NBA 25 Years of Champions seems interesting enough. If somebody has more info on the releases, feel free to post and add.

Looks good. I will have to check out 25 years of champions and maybe a few others.

Thanks for posting.

Sweet. I'm definetely going to pick up the Hakeem dvd. Man, that dvd is gonna bring back some good memories.

Magic Johnson is a great player with all those great passes.
I had the ALWAYS SHOWTIME laserdisc and it's good viewing.

Yesss, this one will be mine on release day!

Pretty gutsy of the NBA to be putting these out, as they will highlight how inferior their current product is.

No Reggie Miller no sale!

I wish they'd compile some fresh programs on the individuals highlighted here. I think I'll give Hakeem and Magic a try, though.

I don't necessarily need 'fresh' programs -- I don't mind DVD editions of the old VHS tapes -- which were pretty well-done.

But I would like to see them include some 'extras' on these -- like some of the best games by the individuals in question, etc. Full, classic games would get me to buy the whole lot of them. As it is, I might buy just 1 or 2.

The Best of Charles Barkley

Thanks Cameron! Hadn't seen that thread before... definitely some classic stuff in there

I want a Pistons Dynasty Series set. I guess they are waiting for the back to back championships.

I'll be checking out the 76ers release. Should be some great Dr. J and Wilt footage, as well as some good footage from all their classic games against the Celtics.

Regarding the Michael Jordan "His Airness" disc. This is already included in the Ultimate Jordan multiple disc set. So if you have Ultimate Jordan set you already have His Airness in that collection.
