i just watched the Warriors-Mavs game and a mavs defender slightly grazed Jordan Poole's forehead with his hand and Poole went down like he was executed by a firing squad. The refs reviewed it and called it a flagrant. This game is starting to look like soccer where guys are constantly flopping and doing more acting than competing, but they get rewarded for it so why not. A similar act happened later in the game to Damion Lee, but the refs didn't see it. He tried milking it just like Poole did, but after not hearing a whistle for a few seconds, he magically healed and ran down the court
I think we can all agree that Cliff Levingston was the single greatest basketball player to ever play the game. Magic Johnson, Big Country, Bird and Antoine Carr round out the top five with honorable mention to Gollum
Ewing and Oakley did the right thing by trashing John Starks for that headbutt. Talking trash is one thing but deliberately headbutting someone for it on a Basketball court on the professional is uncalled for.
Lol i like the one where Willis throws an elbow and doesnt even hit anyone but they call a foul. People think this era was tougher because you make compilations of players committing hard fouls from the 80's and 90's and act like this happened every night. Its just not true. Players today are just as competitive.
In all fairness to Starks, Reggie Millers face alone will make you want to headbutt him and then add his voice in and you will want to punch him. Great ball player annoying as hell.
thats because Barkley was palming him, I think only the forearm was allowed, so it was a foul on Barkley, but I might be mistaken, they changed that rule or introduced it around that time, can't recall now
I couldn’t agree more. When the NBA started to clamp down on that stuff, the athleticism of the players began to grow exponentially. Half of growing a garden is killing the weeds so that what you’re trying to grow can flourish. To me Chuck Daly kinda like the last President just a weed waterer - not talented enough to get it done w/o cheating
Willis showed some quick reflexes and good instinct
"When basketball was a man's game" love the title so true
True? no one really fights

NBA players has a short life expectancy?

Legendary!
You ain’t lying, what the pistons did to MJ in the 80’s would have made LeBron quit.
How did the sun's not win a championship with Robert Horry on their team? Everyone else in the west did.
Great vídeo, so great basketball, when basketball was game for men
That what you all say til your teams player gets slapped on the wrist and there’s a no call. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@MJ-yj5fk shutup MJ
Bill Laimbeer and Rick Mahorn were having fun. You can plainly see that.
Once Bird & Magic we’re gone basketball went downhill

@@markieffmorris9263 🤔
......and now you get ejected for pointing fingers at opponents.
Nowadays u get ejected for yelling at your own teammates
Even into the late '80s, players didn't always get ejected for throwing fists.
Kevin Willis and magic Johnson switched lifestyles as youngins magic born in Michigan became a man in LA Willis born in LA became a man in Detroit
5:17 the irony
It seemed so easy to get into Barkley's head.
basketball game of skill not brutal ass things

@7:31 John Starks,Reggie Miller fight led Starks ejected.
NBA doesn’t play basketball by the actual rules it shouldn’t be that physical it’s a game of finesse not bully ball.

Jake O'Donnell was a biased referee...he would call phantom fouls/technicals because he didn't like a player. He was a bum.
The offensive player gets to slap the 💩outta the defenders hand? That's news to me...
thats because Barkley was palming him, I think only the forearm was allowed, so it was a foul on Barkley, but I might be mistaken, they changed that rule or introduced it around that time, can't recall now
I remember then doing it all the time when defenders were allowed to hand check.
@@dsfs17987 kyrie does it all the time!
Fighting and trying people didn’t make it a man’s games.. That crap during the Bad Boys run was horrible
I couldn’t agree more.
