agreed. was really physical and psychological. players wanted to win and play hard to win. that resulted in tempers flaring and getting frustrated ending in melees and taunts. just the way we saw basketball and grew up with.
These games were personal. Guys wanted to prove they're squad was better than your squad. Opposing players were acquaintances but never close friends. There were exceptions but in the court it was tribal. My squad vs your squad.
FACTS. That's when players were actually COMPETITORS. Ya they were friends off the court, but on the court they were enemies unlike today where players wanna be buddy buddy.
That was a good series between the Bulls & the Suns (93 NBA Finals). Charles Barkley and Scottie Pippen trash talking each other, gotta love it. 90s NBA Basketball, the good ole days.
What refreshing memories - when men played.. When the game had players that had positions.. Point guards moved the ball, played D and got their shot last... There was footwork and hard fought positioning for rebounds.. When shooting the three mattered.. When players stayed with their team for more than a year... When defense was played... Damn I miss these days so much... Welp, back to shoot the three, dunk and demand a trade...
I remember watching the 97 Playoffs and it was so exciting. And everybody laughed about it and that's all...by the way P.J. did a Gutwrench Suplex not a Bodyslam. Today everybody would cry for 3 days and every player would be suspended for 20 games
Not true. It was the most severe penalty in playoffs history up to that point. 5 Knicks players, 1 Heat player were suspended for game 6 of the series. John Starks and Larry Johnson were suspended for leaving the bench. Charlie Ward was suspended for starting the fight. PJ Brown was suspended for two games. The NBA did discipline players back then too. It’s because of this type of incident (and Malice at the Palace) that the NBA started too discipline more with suspensions and techs and flagrant fouls. Too much revisionist history from fans like you.
You heard Bill Walton complaining about how PJ Brown shouldn’t have been thrown out of the game. Players from the ‘70’s complained about how soft the league was in the ‘90’s. It happens every generation. Also, there were still Technical fouls called in this video for the same type of plays in today’s league. People exaggerate about today’s lack of physicality and fouls. I’ve been watching bball since ‘91. Technical fouls are the biggest difference from then ‘til now. The rest of the fouls have not changed that much. It’s the ‘80’s transitioning to the ‘90’s that the physicality changed the most.
miss old nba back then 😢
ya me to

90s nba on NBC
Part of my childhood I want back
Nothing better than the street fights between NY and MIA!

Exactly! Nowadays, they know if they lose, they can just be traded to a better team the next year.

Great video, even though it's too bad they're still making you censor yourself.
4:40 for a second that George "McLoud" typo had me doubting 30 years of perception
Patrick Ewing throwing good combinations 🤣. I grew up on the Knicks how I never saw this
Idk how a female ref can physically hold these guys back- as soon as one gets hit it's going to be crazy
Hoping everything is going well BBALLVAULT
Mark Aguire was one of my favorites. He was awesome on the Mavericks
I remember him and Rolando Blackmon
Reggie is the GOAT of talking trash to the wrong people and getting owned.
Broooo 4:27 how bad are YT Guidelines when u gotta censor a punch from a basketball game in 1995.
I know it’s a shame they age restricted/deleted many of my videos or even gave me a strike once for old school bball fights. So lame
no temper tantrums please
Charles Oakley wasn't half as tough as he thought he was. All bark
LOL @4:40 "George McLoud"
Pacers just fighting everybody
My fav NBA era were the 80's
Forgot how bad Bill Walton was as a commentator

bill walton @ 7:10 hahaha
This just shows how weak the current NBA product is
How'd they ever finish a game, with all those delays.
👍🏿🏀
I remember when people actually cared about the nba. Now all they care about is who Tweeted what after the game
"Fight" street fighter voice 🤷
oakley cries about every foul - just like Draymond do today . let me get ya some cheese wit dat WINE!
don't you compare The Oak Tree to this piece of garbage Draymond Green
LJ would have destroyed Lonzo lamo
What happened to van horn???
