What NBA game do you prefer?

Giannis is a real game changer especially if he develops a jump shot. That guy can cover an nba court in two strides it feels like.

Yeah the physical freaks are so much fun to watch

The NBA won't put hand checking back in the game because they don't want to ruin Stephen Curry's game.

The NBA of the mid 80's/90's, where teams used traditional 5's and banging 4 a slashing 3 wing and guards that can defend and score 2/3's. Plus play tough D being able to guard with hands and arms and offense was fast breaking?

Or, today's game where there are few banging 4's, three ball oriented stretch bigs, more small ball success wit the 3 as catalyst, and can hardly touch a guy on the defensive end of game?


For me I like the 80s/90s or before game where there was more physical play and the offensive player didn't have advantage over a defender in most cases. I'd rather have a Willimas, Malone 4 and a Kersey type three.

I'll go with 80s/90s because of Jordan, Reggie Miller, Drexler, rivalrys like Bulls vs Pistons/Knicks, Knicks vs Heat, and bench clearing brawls where no one got suspended and then a few years later, bench clearing brawls in which everyone got suspended. I miss a good fight. And I still laugh at this:



All of that said, Dame is my favorite player absolutely ever and watching him play in the here and now is a joy I will never forget.

I like today. I just couldn't stand the way the game swayed, especially with the ref calls, in favor of teams like Boston, LA, and the Bulls. I mean, GS gets calls now, but nothing compared to the 80's and 90's in favor of those teams. I just remember game changing calls like Pippen fouling Clyde, and Jake "the snake" O'Donnell calling it in favor of Pippen, and Clyde getting T'd up. Swayed that games outcome, and eventually the series. Game 6 of that series, Blazers up big, 4th quarter, Blazers get grabbed, hammered, no calls what so ever. Bulls come from behind and win. The n that classless creep Jordan, says "thank GOD I didn't go to Portland.

Jordan said that? I don't remember that!
