If Brandon Walsh can go back to where it all began, it does not seem fair that NBA players can’t return to when they were prime time ballers.

I was an impressionable teen when the first 90201 series started and therefore I watched the melodramatic crap staring Steve, Brandon, Kelly, Donna, Dylan and that Brenda, can’t forget her.

So keeping with the 90210 theme of yesteryear, here are NBA players of the past that I wish could play again in their prime matched up with the 90201 character that relates to them.

Brandon Walsh and Michael Jordon

Brandon and Jordan were the main characters of their show. They were the headliner, the face and the character that had the biggest affect on their show or game. Who wouldn’t want to see Jordan play again in his prime? I am just lucky that I got to.

Brenda Walsh and Karl Malone

I admit near the end of his career I could not stand Karl Malone. He wanted all this attention and wanted a ring for free when he went to the Lakers. But just like Brenda, he was worth watching in the beginning before he turned into a real bitch.

Steve Sanders and Gary Payton

Steve Sanders and Gary Payton for me personally had a lot in common. They were two of my favourites and they had a gift for doing really stupid things. You always pulled for them even if they did talk to much for their own good.

Dylan McKay and Clyde Drexler

Smooth, cool and stylish. These words describe Dylan and Clyde Drexler. They both always wanted what Brandon and Michael Jordan had and never got to be numero uno.

Kelly Taylor and Dominique Wilkens

Glamour and show-stopping looks, well at least Wilken’s dunks were. Both of these two could shine and steal a show or two when they had to.

Donna Martin and Charles Barkley

They were both supporting characters early but as their time went on they climbed up to become main stars. I did not like either in the beginning but at least they were entertaining to watch, laugh at or just pick on. They both graduated as well.

David Silver and Shawn Kemp

These two both brought the excitement back David with his DJ skills and Shawn with his thunderous dunks. Easily two of my favourites and two that did not get a fair shake in the end. David kept losing Donna and Kemp kept making babies.

Nat and Larry Bird

First they both look like two white dudes that did not belong where they were. Nat was not Beverly Hills cool nor was Larry Bird NBA cool. They both had wisdom and smarts and had the ability to bring things together to make a winning environment. I wonder how Bird’s peach pie is?

Andrea Zuckerman and Kevin McHale

Finally two of the most overlooked characters. Andrea always wanted to fit in and McHale always fell under the radar as a power forward. They played their roles and were integral to the success of the tv show and the NBA.

What player would you like to see again play in their prime?
