these young kidds that didnt watch 90's basketball just dont know.
the league now is weak.
its way less physical
way too many fouls called and way too much flopping
no one can shoot the midrange shot
no quality big men
no one can post up
these are basic fundamentals of the game
and the whole "the players are way more athletic today" arguement is stupid
people who say that just dont know 90's basketball.
there were more athletic guys in the 90's then now,because there wasnt so many euro guys
besides naming all of the obvious superstars,guys like
kevin johnson
robert pack
cliff robinson
jerome kersey
ron harper before he got hurt
larry nance
spudd web
kenny walker
even tom chambers
man all these dudes were athletic and could jump out of the gym and bang it on anyone
and the superstars of that era were way more athletic than the superstars of today
jordan
pippen
barkley
malone
david robinson
olajuwon
clyde drexler
dominuque wilkins
james worthy
shawn kemp
penny hardaway
grant hill
in their athletic primes these guys were unparalled
now look at the superstars of today
kobe
lebron
wade
duncan
garnett
howard
chris paul
derron williams
nash
dirk
gasol
vince carter
that 90's list is killin todays list
there is no barkley,malone,robinson,olajuwon,jordan,kemp,pippen,grant hill,penny hardaway in todays game because all of these dudes had a combination of athleticsim and skill
lebron is probably the only guy on their level as far as being freaks of nature and havin skill
theres plenty of athletic guys today,but they suck because they dont have fundamentals (dwight howard)
most of you young kidds only saw highlights of old barkley,and old malone,and every other 90's star when they were washed up,so you dont know how athletic they were
at the end of the day players back then were just as athletic,but they had all the fundamentals that todays players dont have
Funny thing is I'm probably older than you too, but I can still understand 90's ball and today aren't that far off from each other.
Some people just can't let go.
i doubt if you're older than me,unless you're in your 30's
but im not reminiscing or being nostalgic,its just a fact.
im objective man,not bias.

I dont care what ya'll jordan heads say
MJ would not drop 100 pts in a game, most dude dropped was 69pts in that was going into Overtime.
ya'll give MJ too much credit, dude was nice, best to play the game but he aint droppin 100pts in a game.

You a Knicks fan tho... Since 89.
He dropped 69 against the Boston Celtics in the playoffs too, not some weak team.

I don't see 100 points... 80's or low 90's though, I could see.
Given the defense he faced back then was a lot more tougher & physical compared to now, 100 points is A LOT if you're not a 7 footer towering over eveyrone.

the NBA of today is super soft compared to the 90s. thats when every single NBA team had a brand name superstar.
and cats was playing basketball high on coke. or pumped full of painkillers in their knees so they could just keep playing.
thats why most nba careers back then were like 7 years. cats went hard.
if jordan had todays technology to work out with and todays balls and courts and rims and backboards.... he would be unstopable.
jordan could have probally dunked from the 3pt line.

To be fair, Robinson's 71 came on the last day of the season (against the sorry Clippers) and his team was feeding him the ball to get the scoring title.

Ron Artest and "being considered one of the best defenders of all-time" should never be mentioned in the same breath....let alone w. Mike or Payton....Ron wasn't seeing those guys.

You're killing your own argument by saying Artest can't be in the discussion with Pippen or Payton as a defender, because didn't they play in the tougher, hand checking era that held Jordan back as a scorer? Take away the hand checks and the physicality and shouldn't a one-on-one lock-down defender like Artest be in the discussion? I'd say it's more difficult to be a lock-down defender today because you really can't get away with anything.

This. Mike would put up 50+ every night in today's league. The league has become finesse and everyone knows that. You cant touch anyone because its foul. Mike taking it to the rack, he would get 30 FT a night. Zone defense? yeah like that would stop him.
