The NBA did have a "thug" problem in the late 90s early to mid 2000s (See Denver Nuggets starting 5 w/ Melo, Iverson, Birdman, J.R. Smith) Part of that was because a lot of these kids were recruited from the Rucker Park-like playgrounds that were rough, and they came from hard places. That was basically before these kids started getting integrated into these AAU systems.
Very true.
I look at the "malice in the palace" in '04 as a kind of line of demarcation between the "thug" NBA and the "hipster" NBA.

I remember exactly where I was that day. Funny story, maybe you heard it, but Ron Artest (frick calling him Metta World Peace) actually talks everyday to the guy who threw the beer at him.
