Since it seems we have some down time, we should post videos of our players and teams. I love reminiscing about the past. Late 80’s and 90’s are what made me fall in love with basketball. This era is simply a watered down version with less strategy, physicality, rivalries, and storylines. It’s less competitive. In the past stars wanted to beat each other for bragging rights, now they are looking to join each other. This leads to no mistory and the underdogs being able to rise up. I think this is the first time in ages where we had a finals we didn’t really expect.
I feel bad for @Domino and some of you younger fans here that couldn’t experience the 90’s or watch Magic and Birds rivalry unfold. Those were the days to be an NBA fan. Maybe we just need a new bird vs Magic rivalry 2.0 as I feel like interest in the nba is slipping a bit.
Lmao, typical old ****. Interest in the NBA is slipping? Lmao the playoffs had the highest percentage of viewership in households since 2002.
The skill level now is so ridiculous compared to pre-2000’s.
Yes, there was so many underdogs and so many mystery Finals matchups in the 80’s and 90’s.
Jordan/Magic/Bird were responsible for 14/17 championships from 1980-1996. So much parody.
Lmao I hate old dudes like you who romanticize the past and make **** up. So many terrible players back then. Jordan torched a bunch of ice cream truck drivers. News flash fouling isn’t good defense.
