Oh man, Hassan is a clown but he’s not a stiff.

This. Guys in the past weren’t these great “lockdown defenders” they were just allowed to hand check, grab, hold and a bunch of other crap that would get them fouled out in the first quarter today. Personally, I prefer today’s game. The 90’s NBA was great because you still had superstars to make...

I remember watching the NBA in the 90's as a teenager and the old timers where all "nobody can shoot anymore!" "They got rid of all the fundamentals!" "It's all about slam dunks and highlights now!" "None of these guys could have played against Bob Cousy and Russell!" That's what some of you...

It's funny because his son plays now and he's actually a really great shooting big man.

Kinda off topic here but I believe that Philadelphia will never contend for a championship with their current roster because it was built on a losing culture. It's the downfall to tanking. You lose and lose and lose and acquire high lottery picks but when you bring in these young guys, you're...

Exactly. Players aren't worse athletes now, it's just that managers have realized stealing bases doesn't do much to help your team win but hitting home runs makes a huge impact. Guys that might have been slap hitters years ago are swinging for the fences now. That's probably the biggest...

There’s probably more less athletic shooters in the modern NBA but it balances out because the stiffs and “enforcer” type players no longer exist. In the 80’s and 90’s the league was loaded with big guys who’s only skill was that they were tall. They couldn’t pass, they couldn’t shoot, they...
