Man like you said. Two very different eras. The late 90's was alot of bruising basketball with scores sub 100.....now it's run and gun let it fly can't hank check anymore poetry in motion.
Someone like "The Glove" wouldn't even be able to play in this league now. He had the best hand check in history and is considered an all time great defender because of it.
I will say, I do enjoy watching Steph let it fly though. It's crazy how he can make it rain.
And on a totally random topic. I would love to see a time warp where LeBron had to play against the bad boy Pistons. First time down the lane Laimbeer is close lining him and turning him into a jump shooter the rest of the game.
Get kicked out of the league for that now!
Oh yeah you are old school! I of course hated the bad boys... but still respect them. Much prefer them to Lebron.
You are right about Payton... but I think he would have adjusted to the rules and found a way to drive people crazy!
Oh, I couldn't stand the pistons then either for the exact example I used..haha. I was a huge Magic Johnson and showtime laker fan when I was back in Junior high school...still have that gold jersey in my closet. Wish I could still fit in it! :-)
Don't forget the short shorts!
