Not that you ever made any, but I'm thinking that might have something to do with the fact that you only started posting in this 2 month old thread two days ago to troll LeBron. Your intention here was never to talk basketball beyond bashing him repeatedly and senselessly. And by your own admission, you didn't even watch the games before doing so. You are exactly what you appear to be.

The difference in the way they played/were allowed to play defense then vs.now is a significant factor imho...

The Spurs are like looking into the past. They play a beautiful brand of basketball that nobody else plays these days, but it is how teams used to play 20-30 years ago before the age of isolating one on one street ball took over.

You're letting nostalgia blind you. Sure, they hard-fouled more in the '80s and '90s, but as a result of the illegal defense rules finally being eliminated, defensive schemes are smarter and more creative now than they've ever been. And before anyone brings up handchecking, note that players still actually do it now, they just have to be subtle about it to avoid getting whistled.

I took issue with his characterization that the overall talent level was better then. The NBA has opened up to more foreign players and with its increased popularity, we've seen the base level talent in the NBA increase. |

That's on the coaches. Good coaches install an offense and stick with it.

Wow, such an incredible player. The people who say Scottie Pippen is underrated need their heads examined. Jordan never had the luxury of playing with 2 players that were Dwayne Wade/Chris Bosh caliber. |
