We remember Gene Cernan 1934-2017, the last man to walk on the moon

Back on December 1972, Gene Cernan was on the Apollo 17 crew.    He turned out to be the last man who walked on the moon.    

Gene Cernan died on this day in 2017.

Who would have believed in December 1972 that Apollo 17 would turn out to be the last mission to the moon?

January 9, 1972: The Milwaukee Bucks stopped the LA Lakers 33-game streak!





Who remember watching the Bucks stop the Lakers' 33 game winning streak?   

I remember watching this game with my dad and brother on TV.   It was a very anticipated match because of Kareem Jabbar and Walt Chamberlain.   It was a clash of the young star vs the veteran on the basketball court.

The final score was 120-104.    

There were some great players on that court.   Oscar Robertson was the Bucks' leader and guard.    On the LA side, Jerry West, Gail Goodrich and the aforementioned Chamberlain are in the Hall of Fame.

It was a great game to watch and enjoy.
