I watched the NBA for a few years after Magic retired but lost interest quickly. Lakers / Celtics and Lakers / Pistons were awesome. (Grew up Lakers fan in Celtics territory.). Now all I can do is SMH when I see some of the NBA-related quotes / headlines on ESPN.com. Haven't had interest in the NBA in a very long time.

I yearn for the era prior to "fake basketball" yea thats right you heard it..
Back when you were punished for driving effectively to the basket thru guys like Laimbeer.. Jordan early in his career earned every one of his drives the hard way Lets go back even beyond Jordan.. to Bird, J, and Magic.. those were great times |

The NBA is unwatchable for me. They only start playing the 4th quarter and players are more concerned about their image and tats than the game. College basketball is so much better.

NBA sucks now. Have not watched one game and certainly would not pay to go.
Rather watch a seniors game with Magic, Bird, Jordan, Barkley, Kareem, Shaq, etc... This new generation just does not have it. |

I wouldn't say that, the game is very different now though. Blame the league for softening the game. Blame endorsements for giving these peeps 100s of millions. Every any sport if we look back 20-30 years we'd say it was better then. Lol.

Bulls were overrated. Officials darlings. You had fouls called on you for just looking at Jordan.
Texas teams ruled! Mavs in 2011 played the "right" way. Great teamwork. Late 90's Rockets had Hakeem. What a great player. Spurs. Well, they've been playing the "right" way for 30 years now. |

Jason Kelce dropped an F bomb on live TV. He's dressed as a Mummer 2 sheets to the wind.

when the league felt they needed to protect their darling $$$-maker Jordan imo thats when the WWF ref-shepparding of games really started however the Bulls were definitely NOT over-rated I watched nearly every one of their games for a couple of seasons and Mr. Jordan is Mr. super-clutch for sure one could argue the Lakers - Celtics - Sixers teams of the slightly prior era were better and there would be many valid points but imo the Bulls were still a great team esp the squad that pushed 70 wins |
