This is what a "fight" looked like in the "super tough" and "physical" 90s.

Flopping, whining, shoving, “hold me back”ing, etc... :oldlol:

This is a playoff game BTW.

Techs given to Rick Fox and Larry Johnson AND that soft screen was called a flagrant lol. Would that even be called a flagrant today? Steven Adams laid a harder screen on Patrick Beverly that wasn’t even called a foul.

Xavier McDaniel (supposedly one of the toughest guys of all time) flopped on that play. The announcer even called him out on it. :roll:

Is this supposed to be the “tough” era that modern players wouldn’t survive? :oldlol::roll:

That wasn't my question.
:roll:

[SATAN]

This is actually hilarious.

One thing about the 90s - it was very normal to have a chip on your shoulder and attitude. Being ignorant and petty wasn't even half as frowned upon as these days. It certainly applied to the NBA. Some people I grew up with never grew out of that mindstate and are undeservedly proud of that era that they achieved absolutely nothing in. They are your typical MJ stans who don't actually know anything about basketball. I'm not saying this applies to certain posters here but these days I remember the 90s for what they were.

So anyway

Now the Lebronda fans are saying today's league is tougher than the 90's :roll:

You know a lot of things are subjective or can just easily be misread when it comes to sports but this one is an undisputable fact that modern day basketball is way softer than it ever used to be and here you clowns go arguing against it.

This board is on it's last legs and it's gonna be funny as hell when it's just a bunch of circle jerking Lebronda fans high-fiving themselves on their supposed "win". No lie 3ball needs help but you guys are right there with him in your own special way.

It’s true. Rondo and Ingraham actually squared up and punched other players. 90’s fights look like some playground shit

Well said. Thing is I'm not even arguing better. I really don't know what era is better it's just different. Tougher and more physical isn't even an argument though. This is easily the softest era ever and it's not close.

Not sure what this video is supposed to prove other than crowds back then were louder and more passionate, and players were more chippy prone to talking shit as if they really disliked each other (unlike today’s era where all your best buddies are on other teams).

Also not like there’s lots of easily searchable vids of elbows and fists flying in the 80s and 90s. I know OP is being purposely stupid but personally I don’t get the appeal of spending your time online acting purposely stupid. But that’s 3/4ths of posts here (90% of them made by the same guy).

Forsure. It's not so much the players as it is the league. The nba for awhike now has been doing everything they can to take out fighting and physical play in general. This shit isn't even arguable so I'm not sure why your trying.

[baudkarma]

The 90s was a soft ass era. I don't blame you for living in denial. It is definitely easier to do that than accepting reality.

How much '90s NBA have you actually watched? Just give us a ballpark estimate of how many minutes of game action you've seen from that era. Whether in person or on TV. YouTube highlights don't really count.

Fighting (as in actual fist fights) has no place in the NBA. If you want to watch fights, watch an actual combat sport.

However, basketball has always been a semi-contact sport. That will never change.

Better skills, yes. More physical no. Imagine growing up in the 80s, no internet, no advanced knowledge of the game or conditioning and training, more stringent rules on handles hence stiffer and more limited offense, no shooting or conditoning coaches, and with hand checking. Imagine trying to be a complete basketball player from that standpoint.

Bruh it's a physical game played by a bunch of alpha males. Fights are gonna happen. Nothing wrong with a fight here and there. As far as it always being physical yeah sure it's still physical it's just a little less physical. The rules and style of play have made this an undeniable fact so i don't why your trying

Larry Johnson was one of my favorite players... I love when he walked up to the ref , and he was 4 inches taller than the ref ...

Larry was a beast !!!!!
