THE 2015 NBA PRE SEASON THREAD: BEST WISHES TO LAMAR ODOM

[nick.]

 
not comical at all. its a sad reality 

Except...it isn't   

What actually makes the NBA "soft"? The fact that people can't take punches to the face or something?

remember when you could clothesline people driving to the rim & it wouldn't be a flagrant?

things were better back then

 

[Lovetohate3000]

kobe took those shots like a g. lj throws himself around and fakes ish same with cp. dudes are soft. aint no arguing it. lj wouldve called for the strechers  if he got hit like kb did,

Yeah that's when **** was HARD!

It's not even making sense. Because the NBA has evolved to a point where **** like that isn't acceptable, it's soft. And it's not like plays like that happened that often back then either.

WHAT DOES THIS HAVE TO DO WITH THE BRAND OF NBA BASKETBALL BEING SOFT.

If you really feel that way go watch MMA 

Lebron goes head first to the rim at full speed, ain't nothing soft about that.

good basketball doesnt need the flops, and acting.

 i understand you like them but i dont. never said i want players to fight. im not into boxing or mma at all. stop exaggerating bruh.

[sea manup]

lebron goes head first into a camera man and stops the game for 10 minutes

seems soft to me 

man up and play basketball, quit the theatrics

 i understand you like them but i dont. 

But what basketball do you like then? 

Because flopping has been around since forever g. I just watched Tommy Heinson (I think) call out the Lakers flopping on McHale in like 85 the other day on NBATV.

that cant be a serious question. the actual game bruh, save the theatrics and nonsense for soccer. 

 

[tomdiginson]

whos the bulls player that shoved lebron in the chest and lebron slid to a different area code? 

Nazier Mohammed

 

[awwsome]

The actual game is in the best place it's ever been.

Then go watch soccer. Flopping isn't something new. Whenever you started watching the NBA, flopping was there.

 

[Lovetohate3000]

t. i love the game and the game is great. otherwise i wouldnt watch so thats not to say i dont still enjoy the game. but its not the best ever right now.its different but thats ok.something have improved other things i dont enjoy but  still my favorite sport.. 

 

[shoeking2102]

My man Red is preaching about not flopping in the damn 50's. It's been around forever. But the NBA is soft now because of it. Get the hell out of town man 

 

[HIM]

Kobe is tough for getting washed by Chris Childs?


You Laker fans need knee pads.

Not ony that. As soon as dude posted kobe getting that Tuesday special the laker fan came back with "if that were lebron..."

 

[tomdiginson]

So the NBA is soft because guys don't take Elbows and fist to the face like they used to

maybe its because high caliber sniper rifles were not invented yet back then but i dont remember anyone in the 80s being hit by a 50 cal mid play

 

[shoeking2102]

Shoeking, you can't be this slow buddy.

That's essentially the argument these people are making. They are calling the NBA soft now, and citing how players took punches better back then.

The point I was getting at by that statement, is that everyone is calling the NBA soft without any actual merit. How is it soft today?
