    decades/era ever of my life growing up as a kid and teenager in the 1980s & 1990s!
    The players played with absolute passion, dedication and desire!
    Their personalities were authentic!
    They never concentrated nor based their lives on being billionaires, or music video stars, nor movie stars!
    There was no
    "unsocial media" for them to be distracted into playing/living for:
    "likes", "hastags", or "follows"!

The Knicks and Pistons made it a rougher league in that era too. Even Seattle had a great D with Payton, McMillan, Askew, Cage and of course, Kemp.
