I miss the NBA Toughness and fights from the 90s

In honor of Charles Oakley he slaps Scottie pippen

After watching the Charles Oakley saga last night it reminded me how much I missed the NBA from the 90s. Growing up watching the NBA in the early 90s I miss the swag and toughness of the game. When there was a problem on the court they fought it out and moved on like men. I loved when the knicks played because I knew there was going to be a fight and they didn't take crap from nobody. They were the Miami Hurricanes of the NBA and just the culture at that time was the best. I guess I was lucky to watch the NBA at its best at that time and it was street ball out there. Now you can't touch a player and all these players are all friends and want to play with each other. Back then there was true rivalries who hated each other. To see lebron complain about every thing in this era I wished he played in the mid 90s because the players in that era would have fricked him up every game. I used to watch NBA on TNT, tbs, and NBC faithfully and I wish the NBA could go back to that style of basketball. Now I don't really get into it until all star weekend.

I miss MSB posts from the 90s. They didn't have nearly as much baseless narrative

If they were really the Canes, they'd have more rings by now.

I do too. But you know what I don't miss? The NBA from the early 2000's. That shite was terrible.

Not gonna lie though after I saw the Oakley video from last night, I got sucked in to about 90 minutes of 1990's NBA highlights on YouTube

You are right they had no rings but I was talking more about the culture and they were hated.

I agree the NBA was great in the 90s

If players were fighting in today's game everyone would be bitching about the thugginess and players not having any sportsmanship

The only difference was in the commonality of the playstyle; the few 'tough guy' teams of the late 90s essentially had a bunch of teams without superstars grow to mimic them-- if you didn't have the creative star that could hang up 30, you'd just force your opponent into a game in the 80s.
I don't miss it. Good riddance. I like watching skilled players do skilled things.

No doubt.

Spot on. One of the many reasons why NBA sucks today.

Nothing beats the NBA from the 80s
Nothing.
