Greg Miller home video - 88 jazz locker room

[JAZZFAN_2814]

maybe the nab should go to these primitve locker rooms.
quality of basketball was better.

Quality of basketball was better because the league was designed around contact. Now there's no hand-checking, and a limp wrist like Nowitzki can get 26 FTs in a single playoff game from guys playing the "duck and cover" defense. All the while, an idiot like Jeff Van Gundy will be telling you about how much more "physical" the playoffs are; well, when he isn't pitching Hanna Montana items for ESPN/ABC/Disney.

All-Star games from the 80s/90s had more intensity than a Finals game today.

Skinny? He was lean, but he was never a toothpick like Hayward.

As I said, compared to what he became in the late 90's, he was skinny in that video. Kind of makes you think of Captain America. Gets me all choked up.

Ooooh say can you seeeeeeeeee....*sniffle*

There is a lot of truth in this. The NBA has become pretty wussy in terms of contact and physical play.
