is that Magic? The clumsy nigguh who falls on his ass while trying to reach for a rebound and then stays seated on his ass until the possession is over. Then he immediately springs up and asks for the ball.
Were they just rounding up homeless nigguhs in trucks for NBA games? Where the hell were they finding these scrubs? This is a "Finals" game btw.

players would get roasted on the post-game shows for shit like that all day long
what a glorified era
Re: "Back in the 90's, the game was more tough and physical"
LOL at these isolated clips!!! Go look at ANY clips from the perimeter manufactured stars after the 2005 defensive highjack and you see a red carpet stroll down the lane when the NBA basically neutered defenses.
Here's a clip of Steve Nash, a guy who played from 1997 to 2014 and won two MVP's in 2006 and 07 thanks to the rule changes the NBA put in, breaking it down to a basic level and confirming how people like David Stern, Rob Thorn and Jerry Colangelo to name a few altered all the defensive rules starting from the mid 90's (after the panic of the MJ

^Look at this disillusioned loser
Look at MJ's 50-point games, the one against Orlando, HORRIBLE defense
Re: "Back in the 90's, the game was more tough and physical"
:facepalm stop it. Of course a 90s player would glorify their own era by saying how tough it was back then. Stop exaggerating it, defense was not tough or physical back then like these old heads keep saying it was.
Re: "Back in the 90's, the game was more tough and physical"
Really, the early 90's Orlando Magic one of the worst teams in the league had horrible defense, you don't say?!?
Listen to what Steve Nash and Vince Carter are saying, they have FORGOTTEN MORE BASKETBALL than you will ever know in your entire life and Nash is basically attributing his superstar status to the rule changes that happened in the mid 2005's and Vince KNOWS multiple so called modern "stars" could not handle the physicality of those days.
The truth is the NBA lost their collective minds AGAIN after the Spurs, Pistons and Pacers dominated the league from 2003 to 2005 making the manufactured "stars" of the era like Kobe, Carter, Iverson, LeBald, T-Mac and Wade to name a few look putrid in the process.
Here's another little longer video explaining all this:

Millennials just can't get over the fact that David Stern and Jerry Colangelo basically sanitized and DUMBED DOWN the game so your little sensitive behinds could digested it and to prop up the modern current crop of flawed players.

Did showtime80s just imply LeBron, Kobe, Wade, T-Mac, Iverson and Vince Carter weren’t legitimate stars? That’s just batshit insane my dude.

It's like everything cultural: movies, music, fashion. Everyone is convinced that what was going on in their own youth was the pinnacle, and everything since is crap. When in reality, more often than not, things are getting better. It's pure nostalgia.

Whose alt is showtime80?
Can only be a few possible options.

Although his posting style reminds me of Bizil (who is not a troll). Don’t think Bizil would troll like that though.
Re: "Back in the 90's, the game was more tough and physical"
LOL at thinking Steve Nash and Vince Carter are 90's players. Steve played 3 seasons in the 90's and Vince only played the 99 shortened season.
Here's Kobe also slamming the current AAU infested NBA:

Jesus Christ! Go try to find some clips of players that were playing in the 80's and early 90's talking about how "soft" it was. I'll save you the time, YOU WON'T FIND ANY!!!

Lmao there’s a clip of Wilt talking about how he’d dominate the “current NBA” in the 90s. People always think stuff was the best from their prime.
