larry johnson dunking on charles oakley
 

funny?

i love both of these players so much

classic

back in the days when teams played real hard physical basketball with an emphasis on defense and a big dunk actually meant something

i'm glad those days are over sean

90s basketball was a brutal, thuggish event...even going into the early part of the 00s. check out the 2003 NBA Finals on basketball-reference.com to see how much the game has changed - so few threes!

phoenix suns changed the world

i know how much the game has changed
it used to be a team sport but now it is all me-first hot-dogging
every single contest might as well be the all-star game

that's why i mostly stick to the college game these days

you're fucking trolling me at this point

there's nothing about current basketball that's about me-first, go spurs

odd how you call fundamentals and hard-nosed defense "thuggish" when it was later on when the game was taken over by tattooed and corn-rowed thugs like allen iverson

yeah that's what i called it, ushered in by the early 90s Bad Boy Pistons teams and then oh yeah remember those 90s knicks teams

I guess what I'm really getting at is I want the game to go back to the way it was when all the players were white guys in short shorts and canvas hi-tops

you mean well before your time?

I don't know where else to take this so I'm stopping officially
But I mean you do know that I'm basically riffing on thinly veiled racist commenters on the nba
I mean I obviously have never once talked like that about basketball and I'm probably on record about five hundred times about how I hate college basketball

yeah i figured i mean the college game is terrible

oh i was gonna suggest you check out the fundamentals-oriented style of play showcased in the WNBA

was hoping the lakers would sign britney griner

xavier mcdaniel flagrant foul on jerome kersey

man i loved the goddamn x man

WNBA reminds me of international ball, it's just kinda slow

they do have great ball handling, passing, and rotation though, but it just seems like everyone's taking their time to set up the perfect shot

maybe i'm a hateful misogynist and degenerate xenophobe
