Antonio Davis laughs at today's cream-puff soft NBA...

[Jims_Doors]

ROFLMAO... ^^^^

You weren't even alive during the 90's junior... and FTR Davis played half his career during the 00's, when he had his BEST seasons (back in the vastly superior 90's AD wasn't good enough to be a starter).

Now go make me a sammich.

Yes he had his best seasons with Toronto because he avg. more MPG than he did with Indy. It's not rocket science to understand that if you avg more MPG and avg. more FGA, there's a good chance you're going to avg. more PPG and avg. more RPG

Him starting in Toronto has more to do with who he played for than what the state of the league was in.

We are presently in the weakest era of basketball and I would like to smash the faces of all who look over the league and the rules.

Between 1988 and 1995 there were 4 expansion teams brought into the league (Charlotte, Miami, Orlando and Minnesota) Then in 1996 we saw 2 more (Toronto and Vancouver)

That's a lot of feasting by other well rounded established teams over that time.

In the 90's guys got mugged if they went down the lane attempting to score. Today's players just let guys have the lane. It's a joke.

80's>>>90's>>>2000s>>>NOW. See how easy that was???

 

[rmilia1]

In todays game players travel almost every possession, flop every other possession, whine EVERY time they are called for ANYTHING and to top it all off ( despite every rule in the league favoring offense ) teams still cant score for shit because guys cant shoot for dick anymore AND there are like 5 players in the league that know how to move without the ball and creat shots for other people. The 80's Lakers/Celtics teams would beat the Heat by an average of 20 ppg with the currrent rules ( maybe more ) Itd be an ass whooping of epic proportions.

I don't know. today's era is pretty good. lot's of good players.


but right now... the NBA center position is at historically bad levels.

I don't mean talent and lopsided victories. I mean toughness.

AD was on ESPN radio this morning, and he became the latest NBA legend to laugh at / mock today's marshmallow-soft era... did anyone else catch this segment?

I missed it.....link?

AD wasn't good enough to start during the 90's because teams were stacked back then... not so much during the 00's and today. That's sort of the point.

Good point LoneGranger... and there are a LOT of ignorant posters on this board.

Yup... ^^^^... it's like the parting of the Red Sea in the paint (when guys drive the lane)... and what's hilarious is that perimeter / wing players today go to the line at a much higher rate than they did in the 80's and 90's, when the NBA was still a man's game (MUCH MUCH tougher and more physical than today).

There were 27-29 teams in the league during the 90's... there are 30 teams today.

Next...
