re: How is today's NBA style of play different than 20, 25 years ago?

people say bigs are more skilled now but i think it's the exact opposite the only real difference is the deminishing of the bigs

bigs in the 90s were urber skilled. ewing was automatic from 15 feet in. you really go sit here and tell me that big men were more skilled than the admerial or the dream shite rik smits would sit there and hit that 10-15 foot jumper all day long and he was like 7'3

the only real difference is emphsis on the three ball and it was more physical in the 90s.

you had to account for the big men in the league so you had more goons on the roster to collect fouls than you do now.

there have always been skilled bigs in the league sabonis and shrempf were shooting threes well before GS came along
