This is what the 'Old nostalgic fools' talk about when we say the game has changed...

One of the greatest trash talkers ever and most clutchplayers ever.


Bird at his finest.

To this day, I still enjoy how good this guy was. If you took away athleticism in the NBA, this guy was every bit as good as Jordan.


Trash talk gave the game more realness and more personality.


The youngens who watch the game now, it's up to you to demand it back. You are missing out.

[nathanjizzle]

out of all the great players from the past, you chose the white guy as an example? typical bigot.
"i dont want to have kids because of minorities living in my community"

[CuterThanRubio]

Bird was not as good as Jordan, and trash talking has never left the game, what world are you living in?

I also find it HYPOCRITICAL that you met up with a fellow poster and played a game, and despite all of the beefing between you guys it was a friendly contest with no war of words in person

YOU ARE SOFT!

You miss "toughness" and antagonistic type of players but you don't actually want that for yourself

WHY!?

[tpols]

you get suspended for trash talk nowadays

You sound like the typical loser who blames his failure at life on white people

Late 80's, early 90's, GOAT era ever. Everyone else missed out.

It was followed by the weakest era yet (90's). Just 1-2 contenders and a bunch of expansion teams (Orlando, Miami, Toronto)

[nathanjizzle]

Did he really said that??

yes he did. the way he said it was even worst than how i quoted it.

It is kind of ironic that the video above is of the oldest player in the league.

You were born in the 2000's son. How do you expect REAL ballers who have balled for the last 25 years straight to take your opinions seriously about an era you never witnessed? You can't fool real ballers.

Continue to live in the past loser.
