Yesterday we This is easily one of the best Bday gifts I’ve ever received in my 29yrs on this Earth!!! #KellyKapowski#My1stLove #WeWereTogether#SheJustDidntKnowIt #CuzImSavedByTheBell
I would say it’s safe to assume any boy who was a kid or teen when Saved By the Bell (F the college years and the New Class that came on before NBA Inside Stuff) was on TV, had a crush on one of the Bayside girls. That extremely long list includes Chris Paul and LeBron James who said during a Twitter Q&A last year that his celebrity crush as a child was Kelly…and Lisa…and Halle Berry and Jessica Rabbit.

I’m assuming while Chris was falling in love with Kelly, the nerdy Cliff Paul had a thing for Screech’s crush Lisa Turtle or maybe the super smart and tall Jessie Spano. I personally loved every girl at Bayside from Kelly to Jessie to Lisa to even guest stars like Zach’s summer flings.
Since LeBron was a much better baller in high school than Zach and Slater, I’m sure he got jealous watching Kelly (and Lisa) cheer for the game-less Zach and his 80’s Converse sneakers. As a Magic Johnson fan, I personally approved of Zach because he did wear Converse and had a giant door poster of Magic that I always wanted in my room.
So in honor of the girl(s) who dated Zach Morris and broke the hearts of LeBron, CP3, me and every friend of mine, here’s a tribute to the women of bayside starting with Kelly Kapowski.
