People really want to throw elbows, hard moves that will injure, they want blood on the floor, they want players to fist fight and they want dirty plays. I mean, I'm not sure people really want that or people are just being really vocal about it online. --- I'm Veggeta X's alt <cite>Veggeta_MAX posted [p:938192641] in People rea...

legendary_zell 04/27/20 5:08:06 PM #21:	Modern players would physically dominate players they are bigger and more athletic than on average. That's just science. People point to exceptions, but those exceptions are typically hall of fame players that would have been great in every era and are also physical freaks. I've never seen anyone successfully argue that the average player from the 80s or 90s would bully current players with their "toughness and physicality." Players get better over time except for the legends, that's just how sports work. --- I gotta be righteous, I gotta be me, I gotta be conscious, I gotta be free, I gotta be able, I gotta attack, I gotta be stable, I gotta be black. <cite>legendary_zell posted [p:938197118] in People rea...

Veggeta_MAX 04/28/20 4:59:29 PM #22:	Another mantra people like to conjure is how friendly current NBA players are to each other where as 80s-90s players almost all hated each other and would never be friends. Which is funny to me because we had guys like Bird referring to MJ as a God after being swept twice by them. Could you imagine anyone calling anyone else a God in the NBA these days?
