[B]Ok Compare AOR SINGERS and Legendary Compositions to Rock Pop of the 90s
Compare HARDROCK-METAL GUITARRIST AND SINGERS AND LEGENDARY BANDS to the 90s and 2000s Alternative Rock, Grunge, Rap Metal ****
Compare Soul/Hi Hop African American Artistsa like Turner, Lionel Ritchie, Quincy Jones = These ****ers Can Sing not the **** 90s and 200s, Rap Baggy Pant Bull****.
Compare DISCO POP 80s to Disco Pop 90s
Compare NEWAVE ROCK of the 80s to 90s
Compare Action-Teen-Comedy-Terror-Drama MOVIES of the 80s to the 90s[/B]
[B]No Contest Man. You Should be Shot For Saying 90s Music and 2000s is better than 1980s Music:rolleyes: [/B]
Disco pop? :oldlol: LMAO that's like a cultural fad, not a musical genre. Disco does not exist in the 90s.
All forms of rock 'n' roll from the 90s were superior to those from the 80s.
The 1980s was largely devoid of creativity and originality. Pretty much the only thing creative to come from the 80s was hip-hop, which was more popular in the 90s.
The 60s and 70s crush the 80s in music, which is not even up for debate.
[QUOTE=1987_Lakers]LOL R U KIDDING ME?? The Celtics were the greatest Half Court Team in NBA History. They might have been better in a slow paced league like the mid 90's.
34 YEAR OLD LARRY BIRD WITH NO BACK vs Scottie Pippen
1990-91 regular season:
11-06-90. 24 Points. 11 Rebounds.
11-09-90. 23 Points. 8 Rebounds. 5 assist.
2-26-91. 12 points. 7 rebounds. 5 assist
3-31-91. 34 Points. 15 Rebounds. 8 assist
Can you imagine how bad Bird would of tourched Pippen in his prime?????[/QUOTE]
i tallied their stats and this is what i came up with head to head:
bird pippen
pts 24 22
rbd 8 7
ast 6 7
stl 1 3
blk 0 1
and note that on average bird took more shots than pippen, in that 34 pt game you stated, he took 36 shots. (his back wasnt hurting him that night) and shot about 41% and averaged 5 tos a game. credit pippens defense. now while bird was about 33 and past his prime, pippen was yet in his prime which to me started in 92-98. facts baby facts:)
:confusedshrug: Disco pop? :oldlol: LMAO that's like a cultural fad, not a musical genre. Disco does not exist in the 90s.
[B]Ofcourse because 90s Sucked. No Elegant Singers, No Great Ballads. No Great Hits. No Emotion. Even the Disco was more modern sounding and Still More Emotional than the Techno **** of the 90s (and even Tecnho was an 80s Undeground Invention and Rap itself too)[/B]
All forms of rock 'n' roll from the 90s were superior to those from the 80s.

[B]CREATIVITY ACTUALLY EXISTED IN THE 80s :rolleyes: :confusedshrug: . MORE INNOVATION, SUPERIOR SINGERS, SUPERIOR GUITARRITS, SUPERIOR POP ROCK HITS. WAY MORE MODERN SOUNDING GUITARRS, SINGERS, BASS PLAYERS, SYNTHS etc.[/B]
[B]Compare AOR ROCK POP: FORIGNER, BOSTON, CHICAGO, SURVIVOR, HEART, ASIA, BALLARD, ROXXETE, BON JOVI etc to the Pop Ballad Hits of 90s and 2000s. Which had More Elegance, Superior Emotion, Ballads and Music Quality? [/B]
:hammerhead:

[B]60s = WAY INFERIOR
70s = MORE INNOVATIVE AND THE ROOT OF THE 80s is the 70s. Such as in Basketball Great 70s Players Played Along the Great Players of the 80s and in the 1990s ONLY 80s Players Dominated:). 1980s Respected the 1970s and Followed with the Same Style but More Modern and Yes MORE EMOTIONAL. MORE SOUL CRUNCHING because it was obviously the last Decade with Human Sensitivity :rolleyes: [/B]

[QUOTE=Sir Charles][B]Wrong the Celtics loved the Frontline-Post Up-Slow Game and Ruled The NBA with their Front-Line Witty Game. That is The Way they faced the Lakers (which was the ONLY Succesfull team playing A Fast Tempo Game, that is why they where called ShowTime because people loved their Winning at that Style). The Rest of the NBA Could Not Win With That Style, They Could Only Dream of Playing a Fast Paced Style and Beating Eastern Teams, Only the Lakers Could!
Plus in 1986 Celtics could Play both Styles and they Swept the Rockets with a HAKEEM-SAMSON (FRONTLINE!). The Team that Beat the 1986 Lakers with A PRIME MAGIC, A PRIME WORTHY and KAREEM still Scoring over 22-26 PPG with a FG% of 52-56% plus All The Crew: GREEN, SCOTT, COOPER etc[/B][/QUOTE]
What the hell are you talking about? 1st of all Cedric Maxwell never played with Bill Walton and 2nd The Rockets series went to 6 games hardly a sweep and that's a Rockets team playing without their starting point guard John Lucas. The '88 Pistons beat the Celtics in 6 and when you watch that series they should have swept the Celtics. And in 1987 if Adrian Dantley doesn't get hurt in Game 7 the Celtics don't win.
[QUOTE=Sir Charles][B]This was Bird at 33 years of age Imagine Bird at ages 23 to 30?:confusedshrug: [/B][/QUOTE]
And that was Pippen at age 25 imagine Pippen at age 29-31 when he became the best SF in the league?:confusedshrug:
It's rather clear that you don't know much about music, Sir Charles. I'm not going into a debate about it on a basketball discussion board. The 1960s and 1970s are so far ahead of all other decades in terms of music, it's laughable.

[B]True messed up there but without him the Celtics would have owned the Bulls in no more than 6 Games anyhow because they also had Great Roll Players that could Defend and SHOOT. I pointed out the reasons why the Bulls could only dominate in 1 Spot (Jordan vs DJ/Ainge) if the Celtics Put in Their BIG LINEUPE as they did with The Rockets. Bulls would be forced to put in a Much Bigger Line Up to Hold the Big Three plus Walton fron Scoring at very high FG%, Defending, Rebounding and Blocking Shots and bench Kerr/Paxon and put Scottie or Harper as PG. Scottie would not be a scoring threat from that position and if he Played Forward then you would have to take away either Grant or Rodman, which would not be enough to Contend a Big Line and even more dangerous cost.
C: PARISH
C-F: WALTON
PF: McHALE
SG/SF: BIRD
PG/SG: AINGE or DJ
Thats what they did in many Games and Agains the 1986 Rockets.
True it was No Sweap but it was a Clear Victory and the Rockets had 6`11 ft HAKEEM THE DREAM and 7`4 ft RALPH SAMSON (Whom was Faster and A Better Ball Handler than All of the Centers and 95% of the PFs). That same Team Beat the 1986 Lakes with a PRIME MAGIC, PRIME WORTHY, PRIME GREEN, PRIME SCOTT, PRIME COOPER and KAREEM still Scoring between 23 and 26 ppg and at an efficiency of 53 to 56.4 FG%.
If the Rockets could not Dominate the Paint with RALPH SAMSON AND HAKEEM what makes you think the Bulls would even compete with Williams-Wellington-Longely-Rodman againts the Celtics PARISH-WALTON-McHALE-BIRD?[/B]

[B]Pippens Greatest Season was 1993-94 when Jordan Left. No doubt about IT but that season cannot be compared to Birds Greatest Seasons 83-84, 84-85, 85-86
[B]BIRd`s Career Average is Pretty Much Superior to Scottie`s Greatest Season.
BIRD: CARRER AVERAGES
23/24 PPG (49.7% FG), 10 RPG, 6.3/6.5 ASPG, 1.7 SPG :violin: [/B]

The gap between how good Bird was in '86 to '91 is pretty big.
The gap between how good Pippen was in '91 to '96-'97 isn't.
There are alot of people out there including me who would take Pippen during the Bulls first 3-peat over Pippen during the Bulls 2nd 3 Peat.
Pippen is best known for being a defensive player not offensive and in 93-94 he dropped 22.0 ppg and in the playoffs it was 22.8. Pippen would be an offensive threat from any position and keep in mind if he's playing PG like you say, he is locking down Ainge or Johnson and Pippen was too big and strong for any guard to handle at the offensive or defensive end. Pippen at PG favors the Bulls not the Celtics that is a clear mismatch. The Rockets did very well in the '86 series and they played without their starting point guard. Lastly Magic Johnson reached his prime starting in the 86-87 season. Magic's last 5 seasons were his 5 best seasons, the '86 Lakers were a team in transition.

this is just as stupid as sayin that the bulls would beat the celtics because they won 72 games and the celtics only won 65. ITS DIFFERENT ERAS. LOOK AT THE BIG PICTURE AND HOW THINGS ARE RELATIVELY. BIRD PUT UP THOSE AVERAGES NOT ONLY BECAUSE HE WAS GREAT BUT ALSO BECAUSE OF THE PACE. you are statisticly comparing 1 guy who was the number 1 option to a guy that was the number 2 option. even jordan suffered statisticly in the 90s due to pace.

If Pippen guards DJ. Then that leaves MJ on Bird. And there is no way MJ is stopping Bird. Bird would post him up all day. Overall I always felt '86 Bird was better than '96 Jordan.
